Combined cycle gas turbine for combined heat and power production with energy storage by steam methane reforming

The co-generation facilities have maximal thermal efficiency. In the case of Russian Federation, for power production industry, development combined cycle (CCGT-CHP) is especially urgent. CCGT-CHP daily load schedule requires demand both electricity and heat, heat depends only upon ambient air temperature. gas turbine reduction subsequent steam during electric drop down are limited by necessity to maintain flow district water heater supply power. Methane reforming allows recovery excess in form synthetic together with reduction. This paper considers three versions use reforming: Bleeding supply, throttling generator exit this a transformer. Steam 25% system down. daytime, load, produced used it necessary peak turbine, which 23% increase. Energy storage increases contribution margin 2.9%.
