The Department of Energy High-Temperature Turbine Technology (HTTT) Program is a three-phase program with the objective of developing a high-temperature gas turbine, for use in a combined cycle power plant operating on a coal-derived fuel, to a status of technology readiness. This report documents the results of the work performed for Phase II, the Technology Testing and Test Support Studies phase, of the HTTT Program. The specific objectives for Phase II, component design and technology testing in critical areas, system design and trade-off analysis in support of component design and test, and combined cycle plant update studies, are directly related to the results of the Phase I program, Program and System Definition, documented in a DOE report (FE-1806-22) published in July 1977. The work reported in this document was initiated in August 1977, and includes comprehensive descriptions of the resulting high-temperature turbine component and system designs, test facilities and test hardware, technology testing and test results, and interpretation of the technology test results relative to component, subsystem, and system design performance and degree of technology readiness. Based on the success of the work accomplished during Phase II and reported here, the General Electric Company concludes that a confident commitment to a system verification test can now be made and is appropriate as the next step toward the accomplishment of the overall program objective. This volume contains information on hot-gas path development tests, turbine simulator tests with coal-derived low Btu gas fuel, combustion tests and rotor water delivery tests.
