GE Global Research will optimize an oxy-combustion natural gas-fired turbine—the Allam-Fetvedt cycle—for flexible generation on a grid with high-variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration at near-zero carbon emissions. The team’s approach uses a novel and low-cost heat-pump thermal storage system.
