Technical Documentation: Oxygen-based Combustion Systems (Oxyfuels) with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

The basic objective of this research is to develop a model to simulate the performance and cost of oxyfuel combustion systems to capture CO2 at fossil-fuel based power plants. The research also aims at identifying the key parameters that define the performance and costs of these systems, and to characterize the uncertainties and variability associated with key parameters. The final objective is to integrate the oxyfuel model into the existing IECM-CS modeling framework so as to have an analytical tool to compare various carbon management options on a consistent basis [1].
