Overview of Advanced Turbine Systems Program

OSTI ID:7141123
The US Department of Energy initiated a program to develop advanced gas turbine systems to serve both central power and industrial power generation markets. The Advanced Turbine Systems Program win lead to commercial offerings by the private sector by 2002. ATS will be developed to fire natural gas but will be adaptable to coal and biomass firing. The systems will be: Highly efficient (15 Percent improvement over today's best systems); Environmentally superior (10 percent reduction in nitrogen oxides over today's best systems); Cost competitive (10 percent reduction in cost of electricity). The ATS Program has five elements: Innovative Cycle Development will lead to the demonstration of systems with advanced gas turbine cycles using current gas turbine technology. High-Temperature Development will lead to the increased firing temperatures needed to achieve ATS Program efficiency goals. Ceramic Component Development/Demonstration will expand the current DOE/CE program to demonstrate industrial-scale turbines with ceramic components. Technology Base will support the overall program by conducting research and development (R D) on generic technology issues. Coal Application studies will adapt technology developed in the ATS Program to coal-fired systems being developed in other DOE programs.
