A Small Capacity Methane-Hydrogen Blend Fueled Gas Turbine
Keywords:
hydrogen, fuel admission system, micro gas turbine unit
Abstract
Nowadays the environmental problem is of issue for many scientists around the world. This is stemming from climate changes caused by greenhouse gas emissions (the industrial sector accounts for 50% of them). Therefore, urgent measures have to be taken to reduce the emissions of these gases significantly. In this connection, we are witnessing a worldwide trend toward predominant use of renewable energy sources, with the hydrogen energy being the most significant one of them.
The aim of the work was to study the effect an addition of hydrogen to methane as fuel has on the thermal characteristics of a 100 kWe micro gas turbine unit and on the geometrical dimensions of the fuel admission device at constant values of the volumetric flow rates of air supplied and flue combustion gases generated in the same installation.
The study, which was carried out using the EPSILON computer program, has shown that the addition of hydrogen to methane leads to an increase in the volumetric fuel flowrate and, hence, generates the need to increase the fuel admission device cross-section area. An increase in the percentage content of hydrogen leads to a decrease of temperatures upstream of the turbine by no more than 12°C. If methane is completely replaced by hydrogen, the power unit efficiency decreases by only 1%. Thus, the thermal characteristics of the micro gas turbine unit under study do not change significantly; however, the design of the fuel injection device has to be modified.
