“The Future of Power Generation – The Role of Particulate Materials” identifies key development opportunities for particulate materials and products in power generation, transformation, transmission, distribution and storage industries. Written recently by PowdermatriX, the group which covers ceramics, powder metals, hard metals and magnetic materials within the UK Materials Knowledge Transfer Network, the report can be downloaded from the PowdermatriX website, www.powdermatrix.org
The study covers plant and equipment for:
- Fossil-fuelled combustion generation technologies
- Nuclear Power Generation
- Water Power Generation technologies
- Power generation from other renewable sources
- Fuel cell technologies
- Power transformation, distribution and storage systems
The report's recommendations could make significant contributions in satisfying the future performance needs of the energy sectors, forecast to grow significantly in the next 25 years in order to meet stringent environmental requirements.
Highlighted development areas include:
