Under the EPSRC Supergen II programme, a consortium of four world class universities and ten top industrial companies has been formed to address critical technical challenges relating to security of electricity supply and lifetime extension of conventional power plant within the UK.

The ambitious, primary aim of this proposal is to develop an innovative ‘integrated toolbox’ of predictive methods/models (based on improved scientific understanding) and targeted invasive and non-invasive measurement techniques. This will provide UK industries with improved means of reliably quantifying the condition and remaining life of components in all types of conventional, fossil-fired power plant.
