Annotation Volumes 2A and 2B of the five-volume set comprising the proceedings of the June 2002 conference contain approximately 135 contributions discussing all types of gas engines, in particular, their controls, diagnostics, and instrumentation; cycle innovations; marine engines; and oil and gas applications. A sampling of topics: automated fault diagnosis for small gas turbine engines; noise reduction from engine tests at airports; comparison of blade cooling performance using alternative fluids; and limits and trade-off in the control of compressor surge. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

The proposed approach is to build on Westinghouse's successful 501 series of gas turbines. The 501F offered a combined cycle efficiency of 54%; 501G increased this efficiency to 58%; the proposed single-shaft 400 MW class ATS combined cycle will have a plant cycle efficiency greater than 60%. Westinghous's strategy is to build upon the next evolution of advances in combustion, aerodynamics, cooling, leakage control, materials, and mechanical design. Westinhouse will base its future gas turbine product line, both 50 and 60 Hz, on ATS technology; the 501G shows early influences of ATS.

US DOE's ATS program has the goals of increased efficiency of natural gas-fired power generation plants, decreased cost of electricity, and a decrease in harmful emissions. The Westinghouse ATS plant is based on an advanced gas turbine design combined with an advanced steam turbine and a high efficiency generator. Objectives of the ATS Program Phase 2 are to select the ATS cycle and to develop technologies required to achieve ATS Program goals: combustion, cooling, aerodynamics, leakage control, coatings, materials. This paper describes progress on each.
