Researchers have developed a generative design method using Invertible Neural Networks (INNs) to address the challenge of redesigning gas turbine combustors for 100% hydrogen fuel. This AI-driven approach aims to reduce the significant design effort required across a wide range of engine power outputs, from 4 MW to 600 MW. By training an INN on a database of combustor designs and their performance data, the system can generate multiple design proposals that meet specific performance criteria, facilitating stable operation with low NOx emissions and preventing flashback.
