University Turbine Systems Research: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit and competitively award university-based R&D projects that address and resolve scientific challenges and applied engineering technology issues associated with advancing the performance and efficiency of combustion turbines in combined cycle applications (e.g., IGCC/NGCC) in fossil fuel power generation. The laboratory/bench-scale R&D applications are sought in five areas of interest (AOI) that include AOI 1- Pressure Gain Combustion; AOI 2- Advanced Materials Development for Hot Gas Path Turbine Components; AOI 3- Advanced Manufacturing Development for Hot Gas Path Turbine Components; AOI 4 - Fundamental Research for sCO2 Power Cycle Development and AOI 5- Fossil Fuel-Based Power Generation with Large-Scale Energy Storage. This FOA will focus on conducting early stage R&D for advanced turbines that are fueled with coal derived fuels and natural gas. Results from this R&D can be adopted by the turbine industry for the early resolution of technical issues that will improve heat rates and thereby reduce CO2 emissions per MWh.
