Project objective
Small-scale turbomachinery for decentralized applications has recently been identified as an enabling technology toward a more sustainable energy landscape. Due to the small scale and the required accuracy, the manufacturing of gas-bearing supported compressors for heat pumps or PEM fuel cells, and turbines for organic Rankine cycles, or gas turbine engines coupled to solid oxide fuel cells, becomes more challenging. This is due to the small scale, the tight manufacturing tolerances, and uncertainty in the material selection. The main obstacle to deploying such systems, however, is the lack of an efficient manufacturing process for materials compatible with small-scale turbomachinery and capable of withstanding high temperatures in some applications. Therefore, this project focuses on the concurrent development of (1) system and component level design methodologies to identify designs that are robust towards manufacturing imperfections, variations in operating conditions, and uncertainty in material properties, (2) an integrated and sustainable manufacturing process platform, and (3) multi-material joining techniques to enable efficient production of small-scale turbomachinery and components. The goal will be achieved by establishing a network of Doctoral Candidates (DC) working in synergy on complementary topics and supported by highly qualified supervisors from European elite universities and research-intensive European companies.
