29th Nov 2001 Dr. David Bailey Thematic Network CAME-GT Cleaner And More Efficient Gas Turbines New Opportunities for Newly Associated Countries

INTRODUCTION CAME-GT  CAME-GT is a Thematic Network established under Framework 5 (Contract No: ENK5-CT )  Project is co-ordinated by Dr. David Pollard (ALSTOM Power)  Covers whole range of gas turbines 250MW  Budget of 725 KEuro and will run for 38 months (Kick-Off October 2000)  Currently 7 Partners

PARTNERS

To co-ordinate RTD projects in Industrial GT’s including –Natural Gas, biomass, coal gas and other fossil derived fuels –CHP applications –Combined cycles including steam turbines and/or fuel cells Four technology clusters bring together gas turbine related projects –turbomachinery, combustion, materials and systems (advanced cycles) Study groups provide plans for –RTD Strategy –Exploitation / Dissemination –Training and Education OBJECTIVES

NEXT STEPS 1.) To Assess the Strategic Priorities for Gas Turbine RTD 2.) Identify the potential for a European Research Area in Gas Turbine Technology through –Networks of Excellence –Virtual Institutes 3.) Bring together GT manufacturers and researchers in EU member states and the Accession Countries to –Increase competitiveness –Improve the quality of life for all European citizens

NASINT - GT New proposal NASINT-GT will be submitted by ALSTOM Power to the Call ENERGIE-NAS on December 14th –New proposal will introduce researchers from newly associated countries to the European Research Area in Gas Turbine Technology –Partners from Newly Associated States (NAS) will contribute own expertise directly to the clusters and study groups –Partners from NAS will be funded to perform investigations and to attend workshops and conferences –Further funding provided to enable researchers from other NAS organisations to attend CAME-GT workshops –Will help researchers from NAS be better informed about the GT technology needs of industry –Will increase the ability of NAS researchers to take part in the Framework programmes
