The U.S. Department of Energy is in its 7th year of a 9-year program to develop the next generation of advanced turbine systems (ATS). Under this program, partnerships between industry, universities, national laboratories, government agencies and institutions, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are performing research and development required to commercialize the ATS. The ATS Program is jointly sponsored by the U.S. DOE Offices of Fossil Energy and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Supporting R&D, recent ATS accomplishments and future advanced concepts for next generation gas turbine systems are described and discussed in this paper. As the ATS program winds down, DOE’s National Energy Technology Center (NETL) is evaluating the technology and market needs for continuing DOE support to develop advanced turbine systems. As part of this effort, NETL is sponsoring market and technology assessments, regional focus group discussions, and public workshops. The purpose of this paper is to provide the status of the ATS Program and the NETL perspective on potential options for future research and development needs, and public-private development programs addressing turbine based power generation for systems 30MW or greater in output.

This paper discusses some of the advanced concepts and research and development associated with implementing catalytic combustion to achieve ultra-low-NOx emissions in the next generation of land-based gas turbine engines. In particular, the paper presents current development status and design challenges being addressed by Siemens Westinghouse Power Corp. for large industrial engines (> 200 MW) and by Solar Turbines for smaller engines (< 20 MW) as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) program. Operational issues in implementing catalytic combustion and the current needs for research in catalyst durability and operability are also discussed. This paper indicates how recent advances in reactor design and catalytic coatings have made catalytic combustion a viable technology for advanced turbine engines and how further research and development may improve catalytic combustion systems to better meet the durability and operability challenges presented by the high-efficiency, ultra-low emissions ATS program goals.

In the age of volatile and ever increasing natural gas fuel prices, strict new emission regulations and technological advancements, modern IGCC plants are the answer to growing market demands for efficient and environmentally friendly power generation. IGCC technology allows the use of low cost opportunity fuels, such as coal, of which there is a more than a 200-year supply in the U.S., and refinery residues, such as petroleum coke and residual oil. Future IGCC plants are expected to be more efficient and have a potential to be a lower cost solution to future CO2 and mercury regulations compared to the direct coal fired steam plants. Siemens has more than 300,000 hours of successful IGCC plant operational experience on a variety of heavy duty gas turbine models in Europe and the U.S. The gas turbines involved range from SGT5-2000E to SGT6-3000E (former designations are shown on Table 1). Future IGCC applications will extend this experience to the SGT5-4000F and SGT6-4000F/5000F/6000G gas turbines. In the currently operating Siemens’ 60 Hz fleet, the SGT6-5000F gas turbine has the most operating engines and the most cumulative operating hours. Over the years, advancements have increased its performance and decreased its emissions and life cycle costs without impacting reliability. Development has been initiated to verify its readiness for future IGCC application including syngas combustion system testing. Similar efforts are planned for the SGT6-6000G and SGT5-4000F/SGT6-4000F models. This paper discusses the extensive development programs that have been carried out to demonstrate that target emissions and engine operability can be achieved on syngas operation in advanced F-class 50 Hz and 60 Hz gas turbine based IGCC applications.

Technical Discussion

This paper reviews the status of in situ gas stream cleanup technologies which are an integral part of the direct coal-fired gas turbine systems being developed through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC). The technical discussion focuses on the proof-of-concept systems under development in the DOE/METC Advanced Coal-Fueled Gas Turbine Systems (ACFGTS) program initiated in 1986. In this program, Solar Turbines Inc., the Allison Gas Turbine Division of General Motors Corporation, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation have completed bench-scale tests of integrated combustion and hot gas cleanup systems in preparation for full-size subsystem tests. All these projects include the development of cleanup systems for contaminants resulting from the combustion of coal. These systems will both control emissions of pollutants and protect the turbine gas path from fouling, erosion, and corrosion. The bench-scale tests have demonstrated efficient combustion of coal-water slurries (CWS) and dry coal in high-pressure, short residence-time combustors. The tests have also yielded promising results in the abatement of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile alkali and in the removal of ash and sulfur species from the hot gas streams.

Next Generation Lithography

Since the late 1980s, the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) has been a prominent vehicle used to support collaboration between US federal laboratories and private firms. This paper examines the structure and goals of one of the most ambitious CRADAs conducted to date, the EUV CRADA, which involves three Department of Energy laboratories and leading US firms in the semiconductor industry and is aimed at the development of next-generation lithographic technologies. This large project is an important case study in ‘post-Cold-War’ technology policy and government-industry collaboration. Although the EUV project represents significant improvements in the design and management of CRADAs, it also illustrates the inherent difficulties of balancing political and economic goals in complex technology development programs.
