Foreword The 1997 Advanced Turbine Systems Annual Program Review Meeting was held October 28-29, 1997, in Morgantown, West Virginia. The annual DOE meeting is cosponsored by the Office of Industrial Technologies in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, and the Federal Energy Technology Center in the Office of Fossil Energy. Projects in the Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) Program, begun in 1992, are funded jointly by DOE and private industry. The objective of the Program is to achieve greater than 60-percent system efficiency and superior environmental performance at a lower cost of electricity. Two classes of gas turbines are being developed under the ATS Program: (1) simple-cycle industrial gas turbines, less than 20 megawatts (MW) in capacity, for distributed-generation, industrial, and cogeneration markets; and (2) gas turbines greater than 20 MW, used in combined-cycle systems, for large base-load central-station electric-power generation markets.
The ATS Program is on schedule to have pre-commercial demonstrations operating in the year 2000. ATS technologies are ready to capture most of the new electric power-generation market well into the next century. The technologies are yielding significant, environmentally sound benefits worldwide. Completion of the ATS Program and successful prototype testing of the ATS are critical to sustain U.S. gas turbine industry dominance in the global marketplace.
The 1997 conference was the largest and most successful to date. Over 300 participants from government organizations, industries, and academic institutions included engineers and scientists from the U.S. and nine foreign countries: Argentina, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
The 2-day conference was organized into about 25 papers in five technical sessions, two panel sessions, and a poster session with about 30 presentations. Topics included discussions on the convergence of the gas and electric industries, the role of ATS in climate change mitigation, overviews by major ATS manufacturers and national research organizations, the ATS users perspective, and research and interactions between universities and industry in the Advanced Gas Turbine Systems Research (AGTSR) Consortium.
Most of the papers and presentations in this Proceedings were produced from electronic files provided by the authors. They have been neither refereed nor extensively edited. Panel discussions and some presentations are edited transcripts of the actual speeches. The Proceedings was provided to participants on CD, and is also available worldwide on the FETC Homepage over the internet (http://fetc.doe.gov/publications).
