10 TPG-NETL one dozen years collaboration The past 2005 First visit at the NETL Hyper lab, the first hybrid system emulator of the world (TPG emulator followed in 2006, DLR-Germany emulator followed in 2008) 2006 Mario Ferrari visiting researcher at NETL for 2 months 2009 TPG: 1 sabbatical year of prof. Alberto Traverso at NETL 2011 NETL: 1 sabbatical year of prof. Larry Banta at TPG 2014 Paolo Pezzini, the first joint TPG-NETL PhD 2015 BioHyPP, EU-USA project awarded together 10

11 TPG-NETL collaboration The present and future Now The Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) no. AGMT-0562 signed between U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, NATIONAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY and UNIVERSITY OF GENOA after 6 (six) years of negotiation! Scope of the work (not limited to): - Research facility upgrades on fuel cell and gas turbine hybrids - Innovative control system development and validation - Compressor surge investigation under large variable volumes 11
