Title: Research and development of hydrogen combustion turbine and very hot side heat exchanger in WE-NET project

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20013546

Japan Power Engineering and Inspection Corporation (JAPEIC) has been conducting research and development into 1,700 C Hydrogen Combustion Turbine and Very Hot Side Heat Exchangers (VHSHE) as part of the World Energy Network Program (WE-NET) entrusted by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Three cooling systems for 1,700 C Turbine blades have been selected and their performance will be tested using an actual hydrogen combustion test facility located at Tasiro, Japan. A new cycle to achieve over 60% plant efficiency has been selected, and the key technology in this cycle is the VHSHE with serious conditions of over 1,700 C of steam. This paper will discuss the present state of 1,700 C Turbine Cooling Systems, the worlds first test of hydrogen combustion test program in 1998, and the new cycle of hydrogen combustion power system concentrating on VHSHE.
