Humidification Towards Flashback Prevention in a Classical Micro Gas Turbine: Thermodynamic Performance Assessment

Combustion air humidification has proven to be effective stabilize hydrogen combustion and avoid flashback apparition in a typical micro Gas Turbine (mGT). However, both the fuel alteration dilution will impact cycle performance. A complete characterization of this thermodynamic is essential ensure that mGTs become cleaner, fully flexible fit with expectation future small-scale decentralized power production. Therefore, objective work twofold: determination necessary for stabilization, depending on type fuel, as well assessment In framework, hybrid model Turbec T100 mGT combustor, combining 0D Chemical Reactor Network 1D Laminar flame calculations, used first assess limits. The laminar speed evaluated predetermine minimal water several CH 4 /H 2 blends. Second, analysis performed stabilization measures performance using Aspen Plus. 0D/1D simulation results show combustor can operate fuels containing up 100% hydrogen. shows leads decreased electrical Future consists iterative coupling correctly predict limits, considering altering operating conditions. To conclude, work, we provide framework operations alternative fuels.
