A Universal Mathematical Model for a New Combined-Cycle, Fossil-Fuel Power System (LAJ Cycle): Part 2 — Dynamic Model
A Universal Mathematical Model (UMM) has been developed and applied to a combined-cycle, fossil-fuel power system. The UMM includes static and dynamic models of the system. The static model allows for thermodynamic and thermochemical analyses of the basic system components (reformer, turbine, membrane separator, fuel cell, air compressor, heat exchanger, and other components) and the entire system. The dynamic model provides for mode-to-mode (a partial load to a full or nominal load) time determination for the individual system components and for the entire system. System transient modes were studied, and it was determined that the reforming reactor transition time should be no less than 200 sec, which results in a system mode-to-mode transition time of three to four minutes.
