Research abstract
A dual pressure Euler turbine (dpEt) will be developed for fuel cell energy recovery and for distributed power generation. The power output will be 500 kW. The developed unit will be available for both military and commercial hybrid fuel cell systems in the1-3 megawatt range and for gas turbine distributed power systems of 500 kW. The dpEt is an efficient, compact prime mover with the advantage of being able to operate with poor quality gas streams and fuels. A compact high speed generator with dual IGBTs will be used enabling black startup and interface with the ship grid or stand alone power.
