17 Combustion stuff Technology for a better society 17

18 BIGH2 - Background (2) Non-premixed combustion of hydrogen-rich fuels in GTs is old tech, but Unmixedness - High T - High NOx NOx removal - Dilution with steam or N2 - Dilution efficiency loss ~5% BIGH2 - Development of lean pre-mixed gas turbine combustors able to burn H2-rich fuels, enabling pre-combustion CCS Fuel flexibility key: Low/intermittent availability of H 2 -stream expected - Combustor must be able to operate on traditional fossil fuels as backup Technology for a better society

19 BIGH2 - International consortium SINTEF's combustion research group Advanced modeling of turbulent reactive flows for 30 years DLR's combustion research group Experimental investigations of GT combustors with laser diagnostics at high p ALSTOM Power Vast know-how in GT/combustor design and testing Funding from CLIMIT and COORETEC Technology for a better society
