The Ceramic Stationary Gas Turbine (CSGT) Program has utilized the SPSLIFE computer code to evaluate the preliminary design of ceramic components. The CSGT program is being performed under the sponsorship of the United States Department of Energy, Office of Industrial Technology, to improve the performance of stationary gas turbines in cogeneration through the selective replacement of hot section components with ceramic parts. Preliminary design evaluation and life assessment results are presented here for the following components: (1) Stage 1 turbine blade, (2) Stage 1 turbine nozzle, and (3) combustor inner liner. From the results of the analysis, recommendations are made for improving the life and reliability of the components. All designs were developed in Phase I (preliminary design) of the CSGT program and will be optimized in Phase II (detail design) of the program.
