Main area of activities in the Energy Conversion Field

1. Cycle Innovation (Gas Turbine based or not)

2. Coal Utilisation: IGCC, CO2 capture, H2 production (utilisation and storage).

3. Fuel Cells and Hybrid Systems

4. Distributed Generation and Poligeneration (including chemicals)

5. Renewables, biofuels, and sustainable energy

6. Biomass Gasification and Pyrolisis

7. Monitoring and diagnostic of Power Plants, including thermoeconomic approach.

Methodologies

1. Steady state (design, off design), transients, dynamics (real and ultra-real time) models of advanced energy systems (including validation !).

2. Thermoeconomics and environomics analysis using innovative and original approaches.

3. Multilevel hyerarchical optimisation of multiproduct systems (polygeneration)

4. Control systems, remote control, monitoring, RAM analysis.

5. CFD models of components and subsystems of innovative energy systems (fuel cells, heat exchangers, turbomachinery, reformers, etc.)

Test Rigs at TPG labs (Genoa and Savona)

1. MOSAT rig – saturator for GT cycles steady and dynamic analysis.

2. Anodic recirculation rig for ejector design validation including transients.

3. Externally fired Micro Gas Turbine test rig (CHP and Trigeneration) with Ansaldo Ricerche.

4. Biomass district heating plants (3) and Biogas 1MW Power plant: technical and economic monitoring.

5. Biomass gasifier rig (downdraft) including ICE (10 kWe)

6. Hybrid system Cathodic early start-up rig (including turbomachinery emulator)

7. Hybrid system emulator using a modified 100kWe MGT (including start-up and shut-down control valves and anodic recirculation loop with apt instrumentations)

8. Hydrogen generator using Borohydrure (developed with ENEL and Regione Veneto)

9. Direct Contact Condenser Rig (developed with ENEL)
