H2BCTurbo - Effect of H2 combustion on the durability of thermal insulation layers in the hot gas section of gas turbines

The combustion of hydrogen in a gas turbine has been identified as a sustainable solution for reducing CO2 emissions. However, the combustion of pure hydrogen leads to a significant increase in the water content in the exhaust gas stream, which has consequences for the corrosion and oxidation of components exposed to the combustion atmosphere. The changes in the corrosion process caused by hydrogen combustion and their effects on the service life of components have hardly been investigated to date and are the subject of this project. The aim of this project is to systematically investigate the effects of such changes on the service life of thermal insulation coating systems on rotating and stationary turbine components.
