Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) are poised to capture the majority of new electric power generation capacity well into the next century. US Department of Energy (DOE) programs supporting the development of ATS technology will enable gas turbine manufacturers to provide ATS to the commercial marketplace at the turn of the century. A progress report on the ATS Program will be presented in this paper. The technical challenges, advanced critical technology requirements, and system configurations meeting the goals of the program will be discussed. Progress has been made in the areas of materials, heat transfer, aerodynamics, and combustion. Applied research conducted by universities, industry and government has resulted in advanced designs and power cycle configurations to develop at ATS, which operates on natural gas, and coal fuels. Details on the ATS program research, development, and technology validation and readiness activities will be presented. The future direction of the program and relationship to other government programs will be discussed in the paper.
