Ammonia-hydrogen-air gas turbine cycle and control analyses

摘要: Blending ammonia with hydrogen has the potential of replacing conventional hydrocarbon fuels to reduce carbon emissions. However, the uncertainties of determining safe, stable, and efficient operating conditions remain a great challenge. Furthermore, although control technologies have been in the scope of interest for gas turbine manufacturers, those are not yet specialized for NH3–H2/air gas turbines. Therefore, this paper identifies the cycle performance of an NH3–H2/air gas turbine in comparison to a CH4/air gas turbine, thus highlighting the operating conditions in which the NH3–H2/air gas turbines show higher performance compared to the CH4/air gas turbines. The results have been obtained by developing a LabVIEW code which has also been utilized to serve as a control code for the NH3–H2/air and CH4/air gas turbines. The system identification stage of calibrating the controller has been achieved …
