Nov. 20, 2023, 2:05 p.m. Updated 35 {"title": ["", "Ultra-Supercritical (USC) steam power generation technology with Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB): Combustion, Materials and Modelling (USC-CFB-CMM)"], "description": ["", "\nTo achieve the UK's ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 without compromising energy security, the UK's conventional power plants must be operated in a flexible manner in terms of high efficiency, using alternative fuels (e.g. biomass) and integrating technologies for carbon abatement (e.g. Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS). Major reviews conducted by International Energy Agency in 2013 on the current status of the most advanced solid fuel-based conventional power generation technologies clearly show that ultra-supercritical (USC) steam Rankine cycle power generation combined with Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) combustion technology is the most viable alternative to the pulverised coal (PC)-based USC power generation. In addition, USC/CFB has a number of advantages over USC/PC, particularly regarding fuel flexibility. \n\nHowever, there are still many fundamental research and technical challenges facing the development of USC-CFB technology. In particular, combustion issues related to safe and stable operation of CFB boilers when burning a variety of solid fuels are not yet fully understood and there is a great need to develop novel materials that will be able to cope with adverse conditions associated with USC/CFB operations.\n\nThis consortium brings together internationally recognised research experts from Universities of Leeds, Nottingham and Warwick in the fields of conventional power generation, fluidized bed combustion, power plant materials, modelling and control with the strong supports of industrial partners in Alstom, Doosan Babcock, Foster Wheeler and E.ON and its international academic partner - Tsinghua University. The project proposed aims to maximize the benefits of USC/CFB in terms of power generation efficiency, fuel flexibility including biomass and integration with CO2 capture by conducting research that addresses the key challenges in combustion, materials and modelling. The specific project objectives are:\n\n(1) To understand how the combustion of a variety of fuels affects bed material agglomeration, fouling and corrosion of boiler heat exchanger tubes and emissions\n\n(2) To understand the influence of the hostile conditions in USC/CFB in terms of creep and oxidation/corrosion resistance on ferritic, austenitic and Ni-based materials and to use the knowledge gained to develop coatings, enablng these materials to withstand the higher temperatures and pressures\n\n(3) To investigate the additional impacts on combustion, emissions and materials when a USC/CFB is operating in the oxy-fuel combustion mode\n\n(4) To develop a whole USC/CFB power plant dynamic model and to use the model to study optimal process operation strategies for higher efficiencies and better fuel flexibility\n\nTo achieve the proposed research aim and objectives and address the fundamental challenges, four inter-connected work packages composed of experimental and modelling studies will be completed:\n\n(1) WP1 - Investigating CFB combustion issues through combustion tests at laboratory- and pilot-scales\n(2) WP2 - Evaluating hostile conditions of USC/CFB on candidate materials\n(3) WP3 - Development of surface engineered coatings & mechanical testing of coated alloys\n(4) wp4 - USC/CFB system modelling\n\n"], "extra_text": ["", "\n\nPotential Impact:\nUltra-supercritical (USC) steam power generation combined with circulating fluidization (CFB) (USC/CFB) is the most viable alternative to USC/PC (pulverised coal) which represents the most advanced coal-power generation technology currently available to the conventional power generation industry. However, USC/CFB has a number of advantages over USC/PC, particularly regarding fuel flexibility. The proposed project has the potential to have a significant impact for the UK both in terms of Academic and industrial Impacts, and Economic and Societal Benefits. The potential impacts and benefits will be delivered by setting up a successful Partnership, maximising the benefits to the Users and Beneficiaries including the Trained Workforce on the project and establishing a range of effective Communication, Exploitation and Engagement Strategies.\n\nThe researchers trained through the project will provide high quality expertise for the power generation sector and its associated sectors in materials and modelling and control. Dozens of PhD students of the three partner universities working in the related research fields will be given opportunities to fully engage with the project teams, for example, through doing mini-projects alongside the employed PDRAs, attending research team meetings and consortium meetings, to enhance the academic impact at the partner universities.\n\nThe project will act as a catalyst for encouraging allied research and development of ultra-supercritical steam power generation, fluidized bed combustion, high temperature materials and coating, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and power plant system modelling. The successful outcome of this project, together with our current research portfolio of Conventional Power Generation, CCS, Power Plant Materials and Modelling will contribute to ensuring the UK can claim an international reputation in these research areas and thus encourage international students and researchers in the field to study in the UK. Know-how acquired in this project for USC/CFB will be of direct benefit to academics, conventional power generation, materials and CCS research communities, power generation, steel and energy industries, energy policy makers/regulators, and government departments such as DECC.\n\nSuccessful delivery of the proposed research on USC/CFB will provide the UK with a platform to lead this new technology in the future, which will bring economic and societal benefits. There are many additional beneficiaries of the new technology in the long term including the public and industry who are the users of electricity.\n\nThe Project Consortium brings together strong research expertise in Power Plant Combustion Engineering, Chemical Engineering/Chemistry, Materials and Modelling, and the support from its industrial partners encompassing power plant technology developers and power generator. There are excellent links and proven working relationships between the project academic partners and the industrial partners.\n\nMonthly local research team meetings, quarterly project consortium meetings and six-monthly Steering Committee meetings will be held to report research findings, to discuss any technical or management issues, and future research and implementation plans.\n\nKnowledge Transfer Office of each partner university will liaise with industrial partners and other potential users of the developed IPs for commercial exploitation.\n\nFindings with academic value will be disseminated at key international conferences and published with open access with the leading peer reviewed journals. We will host at least one workshop on Conventional Power Generation during the project period with the workshop fully open to the Conventional Power, Materials and CCS research communities and relevant industries. We will further disseminate the project results to national and international organisations and policy makers (e.g. DECC, Parliamentary Groups) through the established connections.\n\n\n"], "status": ["", "Closed"]}
