PowerBlade - Blade Compressor Concept Exploration for Power Generation Feasibility Study

在英国，10-12%的电力用于压缩空气。空气压缩机在发电行业的许多方面都严重依赖于影响能源三难困境的空气压缩机。电力行业需要可靠、高效、低成本的压缩机技术来(1)最大限度地减少发电运行本身的二氧化碳排放(2)避免浪费可以出售的能源(3)协助使可再生能源成为可行和可靠的解决方案。LONTRA的创新和成熟的叶片压缩机®概念证明，在废水处理中，与叶式压缩机相比，效率提高了约20%，可靠性更高。这为电力行业提供了显著的节省。该项目将探索新版本叶片压缩机概念的技术和商业可行性，以解决发电领域的需求，进一步提高能源效率和可负担性，并初步探索压缩空气储能。这将通过叶片压缩机®概念的缩放设计，包括温度和压力限制的数学建模来实现。

10-12% of all power generated in the UK is used for compressed air. Air compressors are heavily relied upon within the Power Generation industry in many ways that impact on the energy trilemma. The Powergen industry requires reliable, efficient, low cost compressor technologies to (1) Minimise C02 emissions of the power generation operation itself (2) Avoid wasting energy that could be sold (3) Assist in making renewables a viable and reliable solution. LONTRA'S innovative and proven Blade Compressor® concept has demonstrated efficiency gains of >20% with better reliability compared to lobe compressors in wastewater treatment. This offers significant savings to the Powergen industry.This project will explore the technical and commercial feasibility of a new version of the Blade Compressor concept to address the needs in Power Generation further advancing energy efficiency & affordability, and initial exploration for compressed air energy storage. This will be achieved through a scaled design of the Blade Compressor® concept, mathematical modelling including temperature and pressure limits.
