###### Abstract

The present work aims to study the transient performance of a commercial-scale natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant with post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC) system via linked dynamic process simulation models. The simulations represent real-like operation of the integrated plant during load change transient events with closed-loop controllers. The focus of the study was the dynamic interaction between the power plant and the PCC unit, and the performance evaluation of decentralized control structures. A 613 MW three-pressure reheat NGCC with PCC using aqueous MEA was designed, including PCC process scale-up. Detailed dynamic process models of the power plant and the post-combustion unit were developed, and their validity was deemed sufficient for the purpose of application.
