Grant Description: NOTE: The following paragraph is for informational purposes ONLY. ALL questions must be submitted through FedConnect. Application preparation Instructions are included in the Body of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) which can be located in the upper right hand corner of the FedConnect Home Page for this specific FOA (DE-FOA-0000031). The Turbine Program addresses key technologies needed to enable the development of advanced turbines and turbine-based systems that will operate cleanly and efficiently when fueled with coal-derived synthesis gas and hydrogen fuels. Developing turbine technology to operate on coal-derived synthesis gas and hydrogen is critical to the development of advanced coal based power generation technologies such as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and the deployment of IGCC power plants that capture and sequester carbon dioxide. The Advanced Turbine Program is an investment in secure U.S. electric power production that is clean, efficient, affordable and fuel-flexible, and will make possible the continued use of coal, our Nations largest domestic fossil energy resource. The overall goal (2015) of the Turbine Program within NETL is to provide high efficiency, near-zero emissions and lower cost turbines for coal-based stationary power systems. The research areas addressed in this FOA cover certain DOE Turbine Program topics in combustion, aerodynamics, heat transfer, and materials. Applications are solicited that address technology needs of turbines operating with HHC fuels. HHC fuels are a challenge due to their differing combustion and working fluid characteristics as compared with natural gas. Also, HHC fuels may contain limited levels of impurities (e.g., up to 100 ppm sulfur, 0.1 to 2 ppm particulate) thought to be detrimental to components in the turbine flow path. For the purposes of this FOA, it should be assumed that the gaseous fuels derived from coal have undergone a water-gas shift process to increase the hydrogen content and cleaned with a cold gas cleaning process. Fundamental and basic research applications are solicited to help define and address HHC fuels issues thought to impact the goal of designing robust turbines for HHC power plant environments.
