 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'This project is focused to advance considerably the efficiency of power generation in gas turbine processes by the development of improved thermal barrier coated parts or components of significantly improved performance as well as software products providing optimized process parameters. The proposed project addresses the following scientific and technological issues: New TBC formulations with long-term stability, more resistant under extremely severe operating conditions (e.g. creep, fatigue, thermal-mechanical fatigue, oxidation and their interactions, at high service temperatures) thus the maximum application temperature will be higher (e.g.1450-1500oC) and so performance during energy generation. Flexible and cost effective production systems based mainly on thermal spray (SPS/SPPS, APS, HVOF) but also EB-PVD in order to realize patterned functional TBCs with improved properties. Application of structural analysis and fluid simulation software, including radiation, combustion, heat transfer, fluid-structure interactions and conjugate heat transfer models for the development of detailed models for the operational performance and prediction of spallation phenomena and failure. Environmentally friendly process using chemical formulations free of hazardous and toxic solvents. The aim of this project is the development of materials, methods and models suitable to fabricate, monitor, evaluate and predict the performance and overall energy efficiency of novel thermal barrier coatings for energy generative systems. By the radical improvement of the performance (working temperature, lifetime etc) of materials “in service”, by the application of novel thermal barrier coatings, structural design and computational fluid simulations a significant improvement in energy efficiency and cost effectiveness will be achieved.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Gas turbines operate with very high temperatures and thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are a requirement to prevent degradation of components and increase efficiency. Novel coating formulations promise to significantly enhance their performance.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Power generation using gas turbines relies on the combustion of fuel and subsequent use of the very hot gases to power a turbine. Currently, gas turbines are one of the most widely used technologies for power generation, mostly using natural gas seen as having major benefits compared to combustion of coal. Future plans include exploiting hydrogen or syngas (a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide).

TBCs protect components from the high operating temperatures and also significantly enhance the efficiency of electricity generation by minimising heat loss. A large European consortium launched the project http://www.thebarcode.eu/ (THEBARCODE) (Development of multifunctional thermal barrier coatings and modelling tools for high temperature power generation with improved efficiency) to develop improved, cost-effective TBCs. The team is investigating both wet and dry topcoat formulations as well as bond coats to be used directly below the topcoat.

THEBARCODE researchers successfully prepared a number of unconventional materials with eco-friendly synthesis techniques and a corrosion-resistant nanopowder formulation for the bond coat. Surface modification of market-ready thermal spraying powder was investigated as a simple and cost-effective route to surfaces with graded functionality.

Low-cost application methods, including thermal spray technologies and pulsed vapour deposition, are being considered. Scientists have now applied most of the formulations via either wet or dry thermal spraying methods. The wet method appears to have promising advantages and is currently being optimised. In preliminary tests using the YSZ topcoat, the bond coat and the graded structuring provided significant improvements in thermal shock and degradation behaviour. Similar tests on the new materials are under way.

In parallel, the team has established reactors for synthesis of the new materials, test equipment for their evaluation, and models and predictive tools to optimise formulations and processing technologies.

Scientists expect to deliver a holistic TBC technology complete with new materials and cost-effective processing that will significantly improve the efficiency of gas turbine power generation. This is an important transition technology as the world moves to relieve dependence on fossil fuels. Enhancing its efficiency will increase its impact.
