Abstract :
[en] The 10th Liege Conference on Materials for Advanced Power Engineering presents the achievements of international materials related research for high e ciency, low-emission power plants. Furthermore the new demands of the transition of electricity supply towards more and more regenerative power sources are reported. Resource preservation and maximization of economic success by improved plant e - ciency were the driving forces in past materials and power plant technology development. Fossil fuels will still play a considerable role for future energy security, even if renewables gain rising importance. The integration of uctuating renewable energy technologies poses great future challenges in terms of load exibility, thermal cycling capability and downtime corrosion resistance for the materials employed in new concentrated solar power, biomass red or gas to liquid plants and the backing conventional fossil red power plants. In order to balance erroneous availability forecasts of uctuating regenerative power sources (wind, solar) and vice versa to bridge short periods of low conventional power demand, the minimum load capability of conventional power plants will have to be decreased, while on the other hand start-up times and load ramps will have to be increased to ensure grid stability. Above all improved e ciency of plant, implying rising process temperatures and pressures remains of the utmost importance to ensure economic prosperity. All these issues will create even stronger demands for future materials research and development. The series of Liège Conferences on Materials for Advanced Power Engineering re ects the necessity of joint international material research and component development for critical components of power generation equipment by bringing together material scientists, design engineers, alloy producers and component manufacturers. To put European efforts into an international framework there are several invited research and review papers covering materials, component and process development in the USA and Asia. In addition there are more than 75 contributed papers from 22 countries which are presented as posters at the conference.
