TURBEC turbine
package (100 kWe) for cogen applications |
The SOLHYCO project focuses on the development of a 100 kWe
prototype solar-hybrid microturbine conversion system for cogeneration.
Innovative project developments are:
- Solar-hybrid microturbine prototype unit based on a
com-mercial microturbine
- New receiver based on a new high-performance tube
technology
- Bio-fuel combustion system
The project started January 1, 2006. In the first year
of the project, development of the bio-fuel combustion system was
completed. The conceptual design for microturbine modification was
completed, and first test runs of combustion components were made. The
hybrid bio-fuel combustion system will be tested in Summer 2007 at the
CESA-1 solar tower facility at the Plataforma Solar de Almeria.
Development of the tube receiver manufacturing method was begun. Tube
test sample thermo-mechanical characteristics will be thoroughly studied
and tested in the lab during 2007. The receiver and turbine system will
be ready for solar-hybrid testing in March 2008.
