Development of Gas Turbine Energy Technologies in Russia

Abstract

Gas plays an important role in the fuel-energy balance of the countries that are the largest consumers of energy, Russia, the United States, and Europe. Efficiency of energy resources is provided in many respects using gas—turbine technologies, which have reached a high level of development. Russia has experience in gas—turbine construction and scientific and industrial potential in this field, however, it has not yet created a relevant government program. To ensure energy security and scientific technological development of the Russian Federation and to solve long-term problems of the energy industry of the twenty-first century, the formation and implementation of a comprehensive investment scientific and technological program (a national project) on developing and mastering domestic gas-turbine energy technologies under the scientific methodological guidance of the Division of Energy, Machine Building, Mechanics, and Control Processes, Russian Academy of Sciences, are suggested.
