“…Several studies were performed also purely on virtual level what was in some cases a prerequisite for performed experimental work. Thus 0-D and CFD analyses of combustion chambers were performed in several studies either with the aim to analyze the atomization, mixing and combustion process [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], however most of the research was oriented towards gaseous biofuels which are out of the scope of this paper.…”

Increased public concerns and stricter regulatory frameworks promote the role of bioliquids (liquid fuel for energy purposes other than for transport, including electricity and heating and cooling, produced from biomass). This is a driving force for development and employment of micro-gas turbines (MGTs) due to their ability to combust bioliquids with less favorable properties in a decentralized manner. Gas turbines are characterized by relatively high combustion efficiency at relatively low concentrations of harmful emissions, relatively high effective efficiency and durability when utilizing a common portfolio of gas turbine approved fuels. It is thus desired to preserve these advantages of gas turbines also while burning bioliquids and further relying on their scalability that is crucial to efficient support of decentralized energy production at small scales. To support these objectives, MGT technology needs to allow for utilization of bioliquids with much wider spectrum of physical and chemical properties compared to common commercially available MGTs in a single MGT-based plant. In this view, the present study is providing the first thorough overview of challenges and solutions encountered by researchers across the wide area of bioliquids in MGTs.

In the context of the great research pulse on clean energy transition, distributed energy systems have a key role, especially in the case of integration of both renewable and traditional energy sources. The stable interest in small-scale gas turbines can further increase owing to their flexibility in both operation and fuel supply. Since their not-excellent electrical efficiency, research activities on micro gas turbine (MGT) are focused on the performance improvements that are achievable in several ways, like modifying the Brayton cycle, integrating two or more plants, using cleaner fuels. Hence, during the last decades, the growing interest in MGT-based energy systems encouraged the development of many numerical approaches aimed to provide a reliable and effective prediction of the energy systems' behavior. Indeed, numerical modeling can help to individuate potentialities and issues of each enhanced layout or hybrid energy system, and this review aims to discuss the various layout solutions proposed by researchers, with particular attention to recent publications, highlighting the adopted modeling approaches and methods.

“…Ouchikh et al [14] investigated of the influence of hydrogen enrichment in natural gas on the combustion parameters of a dual-fuel diesel engine. Cappelletti et al [15] described a numerical redesign of a 100 kW MGT combustion chamber for 100 percent hydrogen and showed that a hydrogen-powered combustion chamber produces more NOx than a CH4 combustion chamber, but combustion with hydrogen enables the combustion chamber to operate in lean conditions. De Santoli et al [16] carried out the potential use of H2NG blends in established technologies such as internal combustion engines to evaluate the application's strengths and weaknesses.…”

This study deals with implementing an analytical model to simulate the energy performance associated with a Micro Gas Turbine when H2NG (Hydrogen Enriched Natural Gas) blends are used as fuel. The experimental campaign validated the simulation results at the actual operating conditions of the Micro Gas Turbine. The experimental campaign for model validation has been carried out over the spring and summer periods. Additionally, the MGT performance has been detected when fuelled H2NG with hydrogen fraction ranges between 0% vol. to 10% vol., with a 2% vol. Step., according to the main findings, the fuel consumption is reduced significantly. Also, heat recovery and electrical reliability improve slightly even though environmental factors influence the system. A numerical model was developed with MATLAB-Simulink to model the operation of the MGT. Thus, the relative standard errors affecting the main output parameters have been determined.
