INTRODUCTION

CAME-GTCAME-GT

CAME-GT is a Thematic Network established under Framework 5 (Contract No: ENK5-CT-2000-20062)

Project is co-ordinated by Dr. David Pollard (ALSTOM Power)

Covers whole range of gas turbines <1MW to >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

Launch Meeting - 7th December 2000– Introduction and organisation of first general workshop

First Workshop - 16th February 2001– Hosted by European Commission and attended by 48 representatives of

industry, academia, research establishments, and national programmes.

– Representatives from 12 of the 15 member states and 26 speakers from European or National Funded Projects.

– Clusters agree to define state-of-the-art, priority areas for research and list of strategic test facilities in Europe.

Second Workshop - 1st October 2001– Hosted by European Commission and attended by 46 representatives.

– Presentations given by the co-ordinators of 11 FP 5 RTD projects in the area of GT Technology. Presentations were also given by representatives of German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish National Programmes

– EC led discussion on greater links with US researchers.

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 2001.

– 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
