The increase of world's population and economic development are the keys drivers behind growing demand for energy. Especially the demand for electricity would eventually result in an increase of coal usage. Therefore ultra supercritical circulating fluidized bed boiler has been developed as solutions of economic eco-friendly technologies for coal and of increasing supplies of low grade fuels. Ultra supercritical circulating fluidized bed boiler has an once through type of steam cycle different from drum type in subcritical circulating fluidized bed boiler. Also, the duplication of a proven commercial module with 100-300 MWe subcritical circulating fluidized bed might be the key for design of 500~800 MWe ultra supercritical circulating fluidized bed boiler. After 2017, ultra supercritical circulating fluidized bed boiler might become standard model over subcritical circulating fluidized bed boiler. Therefore, this paper will help you to understand ultra super critical circulating fluidized bed (USC-CFB) through describing the background, status and prospect of the CFB technology.

Part load operation usually covers large periods of the total operation time on the economic ground and electricity demand in small-scale boilers. Performance analysis of part load behavior is very important for the purpose of boiler operation optimization. A simple thermal calculation approach is applied to predict performance of a pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler at part load operation. Verification has been carried out by comparing between calculation results an operation data of the boiler.

340 MWe circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler in Yeosu power station is under construction. The circulating fluidized bed boiler in the Yeosu power plant has a number of differences from other domestic boilers in terms of scale and design. Evaluation of design parameters of the Yeosu CFB boiler should be required because the direct application of existing technology is limited. In this study, design characteristics of the Yeosu CFB boiler was summarized. And thermogravimetric analysis was conducted with comparing other rank coals. Watersteam side heat absorption, flue gas temperature and heat transfer coefficient were calculated by heat and mass balance. Design parameters for the Yeosu CFB boiler were discussed along with typical value in the CFB design range.

The circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler has some problems to scale up. Several engineering solutions have been proposed by a few suppliers which had advanced CFB technology. Large-scale CFB design concepts from different suppliers were reviewed and compared. Points of the hydrodynamic and heat recovery were summarized and discussed for developing the guideline of the large-scale circulating fluidized bed boilers.

The structure and combustion characteristics, and the economic feasibility of the circulating fluidized bed combustion(CFBC) boiler using low grade coal were introduced. The economic feasibility is evaluated by comparing a 500 MW CFBC boiler power plant using low grade coal and a pulverized combustion boiler power plant with high grade coal. As the result of the evaluation, the pulverized coal combustion boiler power plant has an internal rate of return of 12.95%, 1,395.9 billion Korean won of net present value, and 6.26 years of payback period. On the other hand, CFBC boiler power plant has an internal rate of return of 13.54%, 1,704.3 billion Korean won of net present value, and 6.02 years payback period. Therefore, the CFBC boiler power plant has better feasibility in all aspects, as 0.59% higher of internal rate of return, 308.4 billion Korean won of higher net present value and 0.24 year of shorter payback period.

Circulating fluided bed(CFB) furnace which can use a variety of low-grade fuels because of high heat capacity and good mixing characteristic in its furnace have turned out to be effective system. There is no many research to predict performance considering total boiler system with water-steam side. Most of performance prediction model have focused on hydrodynamics or chemical mechanism in furnace. so, This study is aimed to develop performance prediction model which consider water-steam side.

The present paper discusses thermal design parameters of different sizes of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers with capacities ranging from 2 MWe pilot scale boiler to a 600 MWe utility boiler. Physical boiler size and shape of furnace were identified and dimensional data have been summarized. By performing thermal design for each of the boilers, heat transfer surface area, furnace shape and size, and allocation of heat transfer surface for water-steam side heat absorption have been recalculated, and presented. Although boilers may have significantly different capacity, the facilities have common design parameters, when they are evaluated as basic thermal design processes. The significance of thermal design procedure is explicitly discussed.

Combustion of RDF and wastewater sludge was performed in a 0.1MWth bench scale circulating fluidized bed combustor(CFBC), Combustion characteristics of the RDF and sludge mixture demonstrated stable combustion conditions. Component analysis, Combustion characteristics was measured before and after the test, and applications for commercial 1MWe CFBC boiler were prepared. The release of hazardous components such as $SO_2$ and HCl was relatively low values of 50 and 150ppm, respectively.

In this study, unstable CaO was converted into a stable Ca compound by using carbonation in a circulating fluidized bed boiler of fly ash to confirm material usability as cement admixture; also undertaken was carbonation test and mortar to examine chemical and physical change by measuring absorption rate and compressive strength. To investigate the chemical properties of circulating fluidized bed boiler fly ash, XRD and TG-DTA were used to determine how the properties of the reaction product change quantitatively during carbonation. In order to stabilize CaO, carbonation of CaO is considered to be the most desirable process. This is because $CaCO_3$, which is a Ca compound, was produced by carbonate reaction of unstable CaO, and decrease of the absorption rate and improvement of the compressive strength were observed when the carbonated fly ash was replaced with cement.

With the increasing trend in CFB(Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler scale, the EHE(External Heat Exchanger) must be adopted to the large-scale boilers to recover insufficient heat transfer surface. In this study, the numerical analysis model for EHE in commercial 300MWe CFB boiler was developed with the inclusion of mechanistic model, which enables the heat transfer prediction. Finally, the calculated absorbed heat and derived heat transfer coefficient are evaluated through the verification with experimental data.
