SP1 System integration and optimisation

SP-leader: Alstom UK

In SP1 – System integration and optimisation the project will take advantage of the work performed in ENCAP and DYNAMIS using the common guidelines and boundary conditions reference documents that have been developed. The nature of the work in SP1 does not lend itself easily towards strict performance targets so a more qualitative description is provided. The following performance/research indicators are defined:

  • Development of new cycle simulation models that incorporates the dynamics and control system of integrated plants including novel unit operation components.

  • Improved cost estimation of novel component technologies, like membrane and sorbents, today and in the 2015 – 2020 time period.

  • Improve cost estimation taking into account uncertainty and availability aspects.

  • Risk and safety analysis of novel components, including the evaluation of the hydrogen-rich fuel delivery system for an ZEIGCC.

  • Establishment of an European Benchmarking Task Force (EBTF) among the 3 projects DECARBit, CESAR and CAESAR to provide a best practice guideline document – thus securing consistency of such work in the future.
