Abstract

The Ceramic Gas Turbine (CGT) has great advantages in terms of energy efficiency, environmental protection, and fuel-diversification. In Japan, R&D on the 300 kW CGT has been carried out as one of the national projects entitled “New Sunshine Program”, which are promoted by the New Sunshine Project Promotion Headquarters, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). R&D on the CGT has progressed faithfully and now the operation of prototype CGTs (Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT) of 1200 °C) is focused. In the paper, the overall status of the R&D activities on the 300 kW CGT will be reviewed with the test results to-date, problems awaiting solution, and perspective for the prototype and pilot CGTs.
