ENEA R&D program on Italian MHD power plants

Abstract

ENEA, the Italian Agency for New Technology, Energy and the Environment, with reference to the input from the Italian Energy Plan concerning the rational use of fossil fuels, is carrying out a promotional action towards Italian industry for components and advanced technologies (combined cycles, fuel cells, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), fluid beds) in cooperation with the other national Energy Boards. In order to coordinate ENEA programs and activities in the field of MHD technology, a Management Committee, chaired by ENEA and composed by ENEA and the industrial partners of the Consorzio MHD, was formed in 1988. The Management Committee has defined a multi-annual reference R&D program on MHD technologies and critical components. The main goal of this program is to achieve a critical engineering data base for the final decision on proceeding with the design and realization of a power plant retrofitted with a MHD system. This approach foresees a gradual development of experimental test-facilities to support scale-up and component design. The ENEA R&D program both for gas and coal fired MHD plants is very extensive and deep. Therefore it allows, jointly with the CNR (Italian National Research Council) program concerning superconducting magnets, to cover the most critical fields connected to the  More>>
