The 2024 edition of the Turbo Expo Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition, organized by ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers), took place at the modern London ExCeL Exhibition Center from June 24 to 28. This conference, one of the major event in the gas turbine sector, covered not only the technical and scientific aspects but also the socio-economic dimensions of the energy transition and decarbonization process.
Turbo Expo 2024 highlighted crucial discussions on achieving a zero-impact future in propulsion and power generation. Experts presented promising advancements in using high concentrations of hydrogen as fuels for gas turbines, with many sessions dedicated to cutting-edge research on flame dynamics, featuring both experimental and numerical high-level presentations.
Our HELIOS project partner Centro Combustione Ambiente (CCA) participated in this year’s conference, and Antonio Ferrante presented the paper, “Real-time, spatially resolved methodology for flame dynamics investigation by means of fast imaging and image processing”. This methodology, developed in the CCA laboratories, is now enhanced to provide real-time results during characterization campaigns of gas turbine burners. This groundbreaking work is part of the HELIOS Project, funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.
