Joint project: H2BED; Sub-project: Thermal insulation coating systems for 100% hydrogen-capable gas turbines

H2BED - Development of basic technologies for 100% hydrogen gas turbines to support the energy transition in Germany? Sub-project: Thermal insulation layer systems for 100% hydrogen-capable gas turbines

Other

Germany is faced with the challenge of continuing on its chosen path of phasing out coal-fired power generation (by 2030) and nuclear energy (by 2023), while at the same time guaranteeing security of supply. According to the BNetzA, up to 21 GW of replacement capacity will be necessary by 2030. However, 100% hydrogen-capable gas turbines are not yet commercially available. In addition to the development of improved combustion technologies, material engineering issues for the production of 100% hydrogen-capable gas turbines must also be considered. This sub-project looks at the influence of high water vapor concentrations on thermal insulation layer systems. Both the adhesion promoter layer (AP 3.1) and the ceramic thermal insulation layer (AP 3.2) are considered.
