The present study investigates the fireside corrosion behavior of selected superheater materials, namely: T24, P92,
VM12-SHC, A800HT, and 7RE10 under oxy-coal combustion atmospheres. Data on mass change, scale thickness,
metal loss, surface morphology and micro-structural characteristics of corrosion products were obtained. The alloy
specimens were analyzed by SEM-EDX, light microscopy and X-Ray diffraction techniques. The results after
2000 hours of exposure at a metal surface temperature of 600 °C indicate that metal wastage increased with
decreasing Cr-content under oxy-coal conditions.
The German Energiewende is resulting in high grid load changes caused by renewable energies. Therefore flexibility of power plants is getting more and more important. Future CCS power plants are usually equipped with more components than conventional power plants, resulting in a more complex and inert reaction on changes in power output. Additionally, due to the change in price structures and higher fixed and operational costs for CCS power plants, it is harder for them to be economically efficient. This study will show different options to increase the flexibility of CCS power plants and evaluate their benefits.
