Abstract
The proposed research FLEX-GEN aims to provide innovations in the Free Linear Piston Generator (FLPG) technology, considered as mid- and long-term sustainable solution for power generations and power units for mobile applications. FPLG has the potential of high net efficiency (>50%), low pollutant emissions (depending on the configuration), and a high flexibility to operate with all sustainable fuels. Therefore, the main aim of the proposal FLEX-GEN is to develop models, simulation tools and prototypes of innovative combustion systems (e.g. ultra-lean pre-chamber) that could maximize the sustainability of the FLPEGs both for genset and mobile applications.
