The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) has earmarked up to $20 million for cost-shared research and development projects involving coal and gas-based steam cycle challenges.
“This Administration is committed to developing transformational technologies that can enhance new and existing coal-fired power plants,” Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said. “These investments in innovation will help allow coal to remain a strategic fuel well into the future, with less impact on our environment.”
The initiative is under the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) Extreme Environment Materials for Power Generation, supporting FE’s Crosscutting Research program.
The effort possesses the unique ability to identify needs and foster technology development across many applications, officials said, adding by focusing on both new and existing applications, the program is intended to improve cost, performance, and reliability of fossil power generation while enhancing the competitiveness of the nation’s high-temperature materials supply chain in the global marketplace.
“Our crosscutting research supports fossil energy infrastructure across the United States,” Steven Winberg, assistant secretary for Fossil Energy, said. “We are proud to be a global leader in this field, and our R&D will enable the adoption of cutting-edge data technologies for plant owners and operators.”
The two areas of interest, per officials, will address fatigue failures at dissimilar metal joints in High-Temperature Steam-Cycle Components and erosion and corrosion with surface technologies in High-Temperature Steam-Cycle Components.
