Research goals
The experiments at the power plant facility pursue two main goals:
Simulation
- Validation of existing design- and simulation programs
- Validation of transient calculations
- Development of reliable models for the thermodynamic cycle and the interaction between the components
- Development of models for the individual components
Experiment
- Development
- Interpretation
- Test
- Characterization
- Optimization of plant components, in particular of the main components
- Investigation of the interaction between the components (systemic approach)
