Development of high-temperature turbine subsystem technology to a ''technology readiness status''. Phase II. Quarterly report, April-June 1978
The objective of the High-Temperature Turbine Technology (DOE-HTTT) program is to bring to technology readiness, over a six- to ten-year duration, a high-temperature turbine for use in a combined cycle, using coal-derived fuel at a firing temperature of 2600/sup 0/F with growth capability to 3000/sup 0/F. Phase I, Program and System Definition, was completed and progress in Phase II, Technology Testing and Test Support Studies, is reported. The objectives of Phase II are to: perform component design and technology testing in critical areas; perform system design and trade-off analyses in sufficient depth to support the component design and test tasks; and update the Phase I combined cycle studies to evaluate the commercial viability of a GE-TRV turbine system. Information is included on hot gas path development test facilities, turbine simulator tests, shock tunnel test, low-temperature, low-BTU gas cleanup system, motorized rig tests, air turbine tests, liquid- and gas-fueled combined-cycle power plants, turbine subsystem design, update of verification test system definition (GE-TRV), and technology readiness vehicle (GE-TRV) design.
