UKCCSRC - Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Valuing flexible operation of power plants with CO2 capture

The business case for investment in power plants with CO₂ capture is greatly improved if they are able to accommodate uncertainty in future market conditions and variations in local operating requirements.. This paper will outline a range of operating modes that could be important in determining the value of power plants with CO₂ capture from various stakeholder perspectives. Different quantitative techniques that could provide useful insights into plant value with flexible operation are discussed and some preliminary baseline results from a deterministic simulation are reported.
