Advanced virtual reality future power plant dynamic simulations
This project aims to combine computational fluid dynamics, chemical process modelling and virtual system simulation techniques to develop a dynamic modelling tool for power plant performance simulations. Read more
An Investigation into the Potential for the Development of a Fusion Fuel Production Industry to service Fusion Power Plants for Electricity and Industrial Heat Production
Fully funded PhD Studentship available with the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University. This PhD Studentship is funded by the UK AEA, Nuclear Fusion CDT (though the EPSRC) and Bangor University. Read more

High resolution methods for assessment of heat loss from plants and arrays of buildings.
PROJECT SUMMARY. . With this project, we propose an investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of an array of buildings (or a set of heat sources in an industrial plant or in a power plant) with a cross flow (horizontal wind). Read more
Ash Melting Behaviour and Deposition in Oxyfuel Biomass Combustion
The combustion of biomass is proposed as a “carbon neutral” alternative to fossil fuel utilisation and even a “carbon negative” technology when combined with Carbon Capture and Storage technologies such as oxyfuel combustion (Bio-CCS). Read more
Dynamic simulation of power generation plant for carbon capture and storage
The new generation of power plants should offer effective solutions to reduce emissions and implement CO2 capture and storage. However, the combination of a complex fuel-processing plant and the level of integration lead to challenging problems with respect to the dynamic/transient operation. Read more
Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants
This project will primarily be based at The University of Manchester. The performance of nuclear power plants, including Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) can be affected by the formation of corrosion deposit. Read more
Modelling gas turbine based power generation system incorporating CCS technology
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an emerging near-zero emission technology that can applied to next generation gas turbine based power stations, new and retrofit, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emission to the atmosphere. Read more
Modelling post combustion amine CO2 capture plant
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an emerging near-zero emission technology that can applied to next generation gas turbine based power stations, new and retrofit, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emission to the atmosphere. Read more
Analysis of post-combustion CO2 capture from natural gas power plants using CFD and process co-simulation
The use of natural gas as a fuel for electricity production is expected to gradually increase in the next decades. Since it is acknowledged that large CO2 emission cuts should be achieved in the near future, it seems plausible that these systems may have to be coupled to CO2 capture schemes. Read more
Novel gas turbine configurations for carbon capture
Natural gas will play a significant role in the future energy mix. Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants produce around half the emissions of advanced coal-fired power plants. Read more
Dynamic simulation of load-following power plants integrated with CO2 capture technologies
Flexible operation of fossil fuel power plants is becoming a hot topic in the energy generation sector due to the expected increase of intrinsically intermittent renewable technologies in the energy mix in the near future. Read more
