Fire and explosion safety of power plants, power stations and installations

Laboratory experiments on the explosibility of coal dust aimed at identifying the parameters governing the accidental combustion processes in thermoelectric power plants;

Development and validation of computational models for the study of combustion phenomena of potentially explosive aerosols, gases and dusts to be applied in risk analyses in thermoelectric power generation plants;

Validation of models for the simulation of explosions and fires in primary stations and substations;

Drafting of guidelines to reduce the risks associated with explosions and fires in electrical substations;

Field trials on gas turbine engines to identify test methods to reduce the risk of explosion and fire and to develop control guidelines;

Use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to identify explosion and fire risk scenarios in gas turbine engines and to develop guidelines to support safety improvements in gas turbine operating conditions.
