Technical and economic assessment of the parameters of thermal schemes of thermal power plants with a hydrogen generator

Abstract

THE PURPOSE. The study is aimed at studying the effect of fuel gases of various component composition on the environmental performance of the GE 6FA gas turbine unit. Consider using hydrogen as primary sweat to minimize emissions and improve performance of the GE 6FA gas turbine. METHODS. To achieve this goal, the ASGRET (Automated system for gas-dynamic calculations of power turbomachines) software package was used. RESULTS. The article discusses promising directions for the utilization of CO2 using highly efficient technologies with further use or disposal. A mathematical model of a GE 6FA gas turbine unit, diagrams of changes in the main characteristics and the composition of emissions when operating on various types of fuel, including hydrogen, are presented. CONCLUSION. The studies carried out show that a change in the component composition of the gas affects the energy characteristics of the engine. The method for determining the quantitative composition of COx, NOx, SOx in the exhaust gases of a gas turbine plant is presented. The transition to the reserve fuel kerosene leads to an increase in the amount of emissions, which must be taken into account when designing systems for capturing harmful emissions with a dual-fuel fuel gas supply system. The use of hydrogen as a fuel for gas turbines allows to reduce not only the cost of fuel preparation, but also to minimize emissions and improve the performance of the gas turbine plant.

Analysis of Technologies for Hydrogen Consumption, Transition and Storage at Operating Thermal Power Plants

“…In addition, there are studies based on the use of thermochemical processes that require a direct coupling of a chemical plant to a nuclear reactor [30] or generally on high-temperature gas cooled reactors, even in the connection with steam methane reformation [31][32][33][34]. Recently, studies have begun to appear integrating hydrogen production plants into the technological scheme of thermal power plants [19,20,[35][36][37]. Hydrogen production by these methods is possible both at the TPP and off-site.…”
