Comparison between Hydrogen and Syngas Fuels in an Integrated Micro Gas Turbine/Solar Field with Storage

Abstract: In recent years, the use of alternative fuels in thermal engine power plants has gained more and more attention, becoming of paramount importance to overcome the use of fuels from fossil sources and to reduce polluting emissions. The present work deals with the analysis of the response to two different gas fuels—i.e., hydrogen and a syngas from agriculture product—of a 30 kW micro gas turbine integrated with a solar field. The solar field included a thermal storage system to partially cover loading requests du… Show more

“…A number of research studies [23][24][25][26][27][28] have focused their attention on the use of different types of natural gas-derived fuels. One of the most studied investigations deals with the enrichment of NG with a fast-burning fuel, such as hydrogen, aiming at extending the lean operation limitations of NG fueled SI engines thanks to the improvements in terms of laminar burning velocities (i.e., hydrogen has a laminar burning velocity seven times higher than NG) [25].…”

“…The maximum temperature achieved by these plants is consistent with those of a MGT. Hence, those studied have been conducted on optimal integration between these two power plants, considering for the solar field: a tower [11], a parabolic dish [12], or parabolic trough collectors [13]. The research is moving towards solutions that aim to associate MGT with CSP to increase the maximum operating temperature of the receiver and consequently increase the conversion efficiency of the thermodynamic cycle.…”

“…Sattar et al [3] investigated the potentiality of using suspended nanoparticles of various materials to improve the absorption efficiency of water in a Direct Absorption Collector in solar applications. Cameretti et al [4] proposed a solar field equipped with a two-tank TES system integrated with a micro gas turbine fed by hydrogen or syngas.…”
