Cardiff University - EU Infrastructures
• EU Panel - 1990’s - large unique European combustion facilities available for research/ training
• Major accessible combustion Facilities identified.
• Lead to EUROFLAM- Cardiff, IFRF, the Netherlands and ENEL, Italy, 1994.
![Page 3: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
EUROFLAM -the last 10 years
• Separate applications- common management structure - publicity, assessment, etc.
• Yearly seminar- investigators present work.
• Access up to 9 months• Operated under HCM, then TMR etc• Followed by EUROFLAM 2 and 3
+extension

EUROFLAM, the last 10 years
• Later 6 months study • PICOFLAM for FSU (3)• EUROFLAM Marie Curie
Industrial training site-same management structure-Cardiff 4 fellows -42 months
• Positive Investigator feedback
![Page 5: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
EUROFLAM -the last 10 years• 3 Institutions -different strengths/
weaknesses.• Institutions - major Industry -
Industrial Research + University - unique complimentarity
• Feedback from assessors very good • Lead ↑ research co-operation• ENEL exceptional-liked young
investigators + ‘tangential’ ideas -mature Investigators

EUROFLAM - the last 10 years
• IFRF, the Netherlands, support by National flame Committees- European, USA, Japan, Australia, Canada etc- Investigators liked global flavour/contacts
• I3 funding sort- EUROFLAM 4- more co-ordinated approach, 3x3 months in 3 Centres. Not funded
![Page 7: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Concerted Actions in Energy• Round table/Infrastructure Co-Op.
network - 8 years with:• IFRF, ENEL, Cardiff - EUROFLAM
consortium • +Ciemat PSA, Spain (Solar Energy)• +FAPS/CRNS Orleans,
Combustion/Aerothermal studies• +IMP, CRNS, Font Romeu, France-
large solar mirrors• Most synergy FAPS and EUROFLAM +
Ciemat-PSA

Concerted Actions in Energy
• Euroflam OK - difficult to collaborate with others
• No point unless leads to sustained co-operation - needs financing.
• Too diverse? ie IMP, CRNS• Solar Energy mirrors-materials
research via high temp. furnaces• CIEMAT-PSA-very co-operative
![Page 9: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CA’s in Energy- a way forward?
• Focus/bridge between fossil fuel energy & renewables?
• How large/membership?• CA’s in various energy areas -
steering committee?• Need targeted R&D calls to
bind diverse groups. • ie Solar/Combustion,
wind/wave/tidal etc
![Page 10: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The future?• Varying national priorities, funding,
privatisation?• Common research for 10 years?• Large scale facilities-regular
upgrading/obsolescence? Long employment staff problematic
• Instrumentation regular maintenance/replacement.
• EUROFLAM-good model-diverse Institutions co-operating, ↑common research
![Page 11: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The future?
• Integration beyond certain levels?• Success - small groups of persons -
‘succession’ ?• EUROFLAM-I3 concept 9 month
package, 3 months at 3 Institutions attractive?
• Great diversity of Large Scale Facilities, many benefits of linking diverse but related facilites as EUROFLAM
• Energy Facilities very diverse?

What can be done-illustrate by what we are doing in Wales
• Welsh Assembly Govt. ↑energy research
• CU large rigs laser diagnostics/lab. equipment ↑10 years-upgrading?
• Move- new areas, upgrade existing rigs/diagnostics
• Co-operation other Welsh Universities
• Better site needed

What can be done-illustrate by what we are doing in Wales
• Relocation high pressure, 16 bar, GT combustor rig to Port Talbot.
• Rig-upgrade-full optical access -laser diagnostics- 21st C needs.
• Operational 2006• Run by University- agreements
with donating organisation• Other smaller rigs to follow

What can be done-illustrate by what we are doing in Wales
• Development via :• Bidding industrial work globally• Government grants• EU R&D progs.• Other Universities access?• EU trans national access
![Page 19: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How can we relate this to the development of new Infrastructures?
• UK ↑concentration, Universities science/ tech.↓
• Student nos. same • Technician courses↓• R&D in Eng. Depts in UK• Rolls Royce → R&D to
Universities/Cambridge/ Nottingham.• Aided Govnt. funding to Universities• Rolls Royce same Germany/ USA• Can cause problems
![Page 20: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How can we relate this to the development of new Infrastructures?
• New infrastructure needs?• Closure of IFRF research
station?• Why?• Relied on International
Contributions• Failed to develop new areas• Dutch costs too high
![Page 21: Infrastructures in Energy- 10 years experience –how does this feed into the future? Nick Syred Cardiff University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a79ae550346e0158b4659/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How can we relate this to the development of new Infrastructures?
• Dynamic areas in combust.?• Gas turbines- oscillations-diverse
fuels, ↑compressors, turbines, materials etc
• High pressure data needed• New cycles CO2 sequestration,
components/fuel cells• Coal utilisation/co-firing,↑ cycles,
novel cycles• Mini/micro- propulsion/power
systems

How can we relate this to the development of new Infrastructures?
• Small biomass power, ↑small steam turbines, gas turbines
• H2 alternatives ? lousy for storage
• Gas engines-CNG ?• IC engine ↑?- • ↑ compression ratios• Combustion fundamentals?
