    Uploaded by

    mystratex
    The document discusses Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), which are used to assess the maturity of technologies. It provides background on TRLs, including their origin with NASA and later adoption by other organizations. It then details the common uses of TRLs and describes the specific levels used by organizations like the EU, NASA, ESA, and DoD. The document concludes with two case studies assessing the TRLs of potential new technologies: a Salmiakki product and an automotive interior panel that uses nanocellulose and carbon nanotubes. It determines the Salmiakki is at TRL 6-7 while the interior panel is currently at TRL 3-4.

    • Communication • Guide/measure for engineering
    • Set a target / Success criteria development prior to a preliminary design
    • Project planning development review

    • Technology selection • Determining if the technology is ready for
    infusion into projects
    • Indicator for readiness of infusion
    • Evaluating proposals against the
    • Communicate/establish integration target/success criteria
    agreements
    • Assessing project risk based on
    • Portfolio management technology maturity
    • Cost estimation • Project formulation
    • Risk indicator • Technology portfolio management

    Case study: Salmiakki

    • Possibilities to combine
    esthetics and functionality
    • Main technologies
    – Nanocellulose (NCF)
    – Carbon nanotubes (CNT)

    Salmiakki - TRL level 6-7

    Salmiakki TRL level 6-7

    Jarkko Pakkanen, BioÄly seminar, TUT 20.11.2018


    Salmiakki TRL level 6-7

    • Salmiakki has been demonstrated as a system in an operating environment.


    • Next technology level requires more detail design.
    – E.g. enclosure, power supply, final design / design options
    • TRL 8 requires that no further engineering is required and the technology
    does not include any major design issues. Therefore, Salmiakki cannot be
    considered as TRL 8 technology at the moment.

    Jarkko Pakkanen, BioÄly seminar, TUT 20.11.2018


    Case study: automotive interior panel
    • Similar to Salmiakki,
    possibilities to combine
    esthetics and functionality
    • Main technologies
    – Nanocellulose (NCF)
    – Carbon nanotubes (CNT)
    • NCF-CNT panels would not
    require Non-Woven Mat

    NFC-CNT automotive interior panel - TRL level 3-4
    NFC-CNT automotive interior panel - TRL level 4

    Jarkko Pakkanen, BioÄly seminar, TUT 20.11.2018


    NFC-CNT automotive interior panel - TRL level 3-4

    • Analytical and experimental proof of concept (Salmiakki) exists.


    • Validation and basic functionality of technology has been tested in laboratory
    and other environments, but not in the actual operating environment (car)
    • Requirements and plans for test environment are required.
    • TRL 5 requires that a set of panels, or a single panel, would be designed,
    produced and tested in a car or car-like environment in varying conditions.
    • Also, this concept has more advanced requirements related to how the
    functionality (heating) should be controlled in order to adapt to climate.
