AI-Based Generative Design Framework for Rapid Deployment of H2-Fueled Power Genreration Technologies

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is developing a pioneering high-throughput, performance-specific, and cost-effective generative materials design and discovery framework tailored for hydrogen (H2) -fueled gas turbine technologies. It will create a specialized platform for evaluating novel materials and establishing design limits for existing alloys and addressing complex failure mechanisms specific to industrial and aeroengine H2-fueled gas turbines. The proposed technology will be applicable equally to the power generation and transportation industries and will be leveraged by alloy and component manufacturers to design, fabricate and employ hydrogen resistant materials.
