Adv. Research - Computational Energy Science projects

1. Graph Trace Analysis Based Multi-Discipline, Multi-Fidelity, Integrated System Design, Monitoring and Control Analysis and Information Management
   The project proposes to combine and extend existing GTA based software to build and test a demonstration integrated feed water, thermal, steam, and power output model for a conventional steam powered generation plant. If successful, this software will be used to develop detailed GTA based simulation and analysis for an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant that can be... Read more >

2. Pd-Based Metallic Membranes for Hydrogen Separation: First Principles Studies of Separation Mechanisms Aimed at Knowledge-Based Rational Formulations of Improved Materials
   Novel materials are usually formulated using Edisonian trial and error approaches which are fairly inefficient. Various computational and experimental tools will be used to understand underlying physical mechanisms that govern materials' performances. An important research area is the separation of hydrogen from various by-products that are produced during coal gasification. The m... Read more >

3. Process/Equipment Co-Simulation of Oxy-Combustion and Chemical Looping Combustion
   Alstom Power Inc. (Alstom), through its US Power Plant Laboratories in Windsor, Connecticut, has been active in teaming up with ANSYS, Aspen Technologies, universities, and others to promote the ongoing development and demonstration of the NETL Advanced Process Engineering Co-Simulator (APECS) tool kit. The APECS tool kit (winner of a 2004 "R&D 100" award) consists principally of a... Read more >
