Exploratory study on the potential of coal fired power plant for energy production in Nigeria
(Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, 2013-02) Obiukwu, O.; Okozi, S.
Nigeria’s industrialization is dependent on the utilization of its energy sources. In Nigeria, as in many developing countries, providing energy to rural and urban areas has proved to be a
great challenge. At present, the energy consumption estimate in Nigeria is reaching 19.21billion KWh and is still rising. To counter this, the estimated generated energy, presently is
3,500MW which is insufficient to handle the Demand. This is quite low and alternative means have to be proposed. This paper looks at the potential of technologies to convert coal
into fuels that can be used directly in place of gasoline and diesel. A power generating plant is proposed, which uses coal, which is in ample supply of about 396 Million Metric tons, as a
feedstock. The plant is expected to use the Gasification technology, which converts solid coal to its synthetic gas form, which is further used to power Gas turbines for power generation.
Its generating capacity is 750MW and has a Configuration of 2*2*2*1. This implies that it has 2 operating gasifiers/ cleaning system, 2 combustion Turbines, 2 Heat Recovery Steam
Generators and 1 steam turbine.
