Final component and technology verification tests have been completed for application to a 2600°F rotor inlet temperature gas turbine. These tests have proven the capability of combustor, turbine hot section, and IGCC fuel systems and controls to operate in a combined cycle plant burning a coal-derived gas fuel at elevated gas turbine inlet temperatures (2600–3000°F). This paper presents recent test results and summarizes the overall progress made during the DOE-HTTT Phase II program.
