The first ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฉ event of the project ๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ก๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก will be held next May 21st in Florence, kindly hosted at the Florence Learning Center of Baker Hughes
The event represents the planned mid-term dissemination action of the project, and will showcase the TRANSITION partners’ recent achievements in improving knowledge on the use of ๐๐๐ฅ (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) in heavy-duty gas turbines to enable more efficient adoption of carbon capture technologies (๐๐๐จ๐ฆ).
Project partners will present outcomes achieved in the first two years of the project. The workshop will also see the contributions by two external experts as Invited Speakers: Prof. Epaminondas Mastorakos and Prof. Ward De Paepe.
On October 16 & 17, the third Review meeting of TRANSITION project took place in Stuttgart at DLR Institute of Combustion Technology, premises.
During the meeting each task leader provided updates on the progress of activities. The event was completed by a visit to the laboratories: high pressure combustion test rig, micro gas turbine lab, fuels research, direct air capture
On October 11-12, 2023, TotalEnergies hosted the 2nd Internal Technical Review meeting (M12) of TRANSITION project. The meeting was held at TotalEnergies Technical Center (CSTJF), Pau, France and was attended by all project Partners. The latest updates on the WPs activities were presented, and two very interesting visits were made to โPANGEAโ HPC and to โRAIDโ Remote operations monitoring center visit.
ASME Turbo Expo 2023 was well represented by UNIFI, Heat Transfer and Combustion research group (Alessio Picchi,ย Tommaso Bacci,ย Sofia Galeotti,Matteo Amerighi,ย Lorenzo Orsini,ย Simone Castellani,ย Umberto Sandri,ย Niccolรฒ Castelli) that contributed to the conference with 13 papers ranging from combustion modelling and testing, turbine and combustor cooling and secondary air systems testing and modelling.
On April 17-18 2023, Universitร degli Studi di Firenze hosted, at THT-Lab, the first Internal Technical Review (M6 meeting) of TRANSITION project.
The meeting was attended by all project partners (Baker Hughes,ย TotalEnergies,ย CERFACS,ย German Aerospace Center (DLR),ย SINTEFย andย SINTEF Ocean). Preliminary results related to WP2 (EGR Gas Turbine integration) and WP4 (CCS-GT integration and assessment) were presented, with useful discussions on how to approximate the EGR process during experimental testing and with the presentation of a number of concrete application scenarios of combined power-plants where the combustion technologies under development could be used.
The meeting was held in a friendly atmosphere helping to consolidate the team!
