HyPowerGT
Horizon-JU-IA (2023-2026) – GA 101136656
The HyPowerGT project aims at moving technological frontiers to enable gas turbines to operate on hydrogen, in compliance with NOx regulations, using neither catalysts, nor diluents or thermodynamic efficiency reduction. The core technology is a novel dry-low emission combustion technology (H2 DLE) able of handling any blend of natural gas and hydrogen up to pure H2. To reduce the thermal driven NOx, the reaction temperature of flame is lowered by means of an enhanced premixing of fuel and air, still maintaining the flashback margin required to operate with fuel composition up to 100% H2. The development strategy is supported by an incremental verification approach, lowering through experimental testing the development risks, time, and costs.
FLEXnCONFU
HORIZON 2020 – GA n.884157
Combined-cycle gas turbine plants represent a technology with the required flexibility to compensate for the intermittency of renewable energy sources. The project will develop innovative, viable and replicable power-to-X-to-power solutions to be integrated with existing and new power plants to level the load, to untap their flexibility, converting electricity into H2/NH3, to be locally re-used in the same power plant to respond to varying demand, reducing the environmental impact.
FLEX4H2
Horizon-JU-RIA (2023-2026) – GA n. 101101427
The project aims at developing a new low-emission hydrogen combustion with up to 100% H2 in large-frame gas turbines (GT36) at high firing temperature and high pressure via constant pressure sequential combustion technology (CPSC). The project aims at at gas turbines of 760 MWe (combined cycle), the technology ensures high engine performance and efficiency, as well as fuel and load flexibility without diluents, in compliance with emission targets set by the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA.
