Please scroll to the bottom of this page to access the Funding Opportunity Announcement. AREA 3- NOVEL MATERIALS FOR SENSING OR MONITORING IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS OF FOSSIL ENERGY SYSTEMS Background: NETLs Advanced Research Program in Sensors and Controls targets the development of novel sensors for FE Systems with a focus on innovations for sensing in high temperature harsh environments. As energy conversion processes (e.g. gasification, oxygen fired combustion, hydrogen rich combustion turbines) strive for higher efficiencies and lower emissions, the conditions in which fuel is consumed to produce electricity trend towards high temperatures, high pressures, and high levels of corrosiveness. Under these conditions, traditional instrumentation and sensors fail to perform adequately. Novel advances are needed in sensor materials and other analytical approaches to monitor process conditions (e.g. temperature, pressure, flow, gas constituents, etc) and ensure that the processes perform efficiently and reliably. Description: Innovations are sought for the development of novel sensor materials and devices for the measurement of process parameters (e.g. temperature pressure, gas constituents, etc.) in extreme environments (>500 degrees C, >250 psi, corrosive) of Fossil Energy (FE) systems. Innovations that capitalize on fundamental advancements at the micro and nano scales are important for the development of compact, powerful online analytical equipment. For spectroscopic / optical devices, the areas of metamaterials, nano photonics, or highly specialized high temperature optical fibers are of interest. For the development of high temperature micro sensors and other analytical approaches, the development of smart dust sensors / networks and highly integrated / embedded monitoring approaches are of interest. Proposed approaches must satisfy the high temperature requirement (>500 degrees C). Applicants must address the following to be considered competitive for award: - A clear outline of the innovative features of the research, - An established basis for the proposed work, - A reasonable development plan for the technology in which the feasibility of the approach can be demonstrated, and - A demonstrated understanding of advanced FE power systems and how the novel technology may be used in a practical application.
