Low grade waste heat utilizat ion and new combustion technology are challenging tasks for researchers to achieve these objectives. This paper is concerned with the integration of coal gasification system with a comb ined gas turbine, steam turbine power plant cycles and with ammon ia-water cycle, wh ich is known as Kalina cycle. A l-maghara coal in North Sinai is used as the solid fuel in gasification process.Three cycles configurationsare compared as follows: Scheme (A) with dual pressure Heat recovery boiler with the condenser of steam cycle as the evaporator for Kalina cycle,scheme (B) with heat recovery boiler for both of steam and Kalina cycleand scheme (C), similar to scheme (A), but with a superheating in Kalina cycleto identify the most promising one for implementation. Key parameters of Kalina cycle were the main elements of comparison. Results revealed that scheme (A) has the best performance with regard to the output power, thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption. Substantially, the integration of Kalina cycle with coal gasification comb ined cycle counterbalances the reduction of the overall efficiency due to the gasification thermal efficiency. Therefore, integration of Kalina cycle in the IC GCC is justified.Furthermo re, part load calculations were made fo r scheme (A) and identified that the integration of Kalina cycle to ICGCC imposed restrictions to Kalina cycle constrains, so that it is more economical to keep such configuration of combined plants at nearly full load conditions.
