This paper presents the results of analysis of energy and economic efficiency of the hierarchical gas-gas engine, with a note that a trigeneration system was analyzed, in which the production of electricity, heat and cold are combined. This solution significantly increases the energy efficiency of the gas and gas system compared to a system without cold production. The analysis includes a system comprising a compressor chiller which is driven by an electric motor in the system, as well as a system applying the mechanical work that is carried out via a rotating shaft of rotor-based machines, i.e., a gas turbine and a turboexpander. The comfort of the regulation of the refrigerating power rather promotes the use of a solution including an electric motor. Analysis contains also a schematic diagram of the system with a absorption chiller, which is driven by low-temperature enthalpy of exhaust gases extracted from a hierarchical gas-gas engine. Application of turboexpander with heat regeneration in the trigeneration system is also analyzed. Based on the multi-variant economic and thermodynamic calculations, the most favorable system variant was determined using, among others, the specific cost of cold production.

The Impact

This paper discusses issues that influence the decision on the arrangement of compressors and the type of equipment in gas pipeline compressor stations. Different concepts such as multiple small units versus single large units are considered, both regarding their impact on the individual station and the overall pipeline. The necessity of standby units is discussed. Various concepts for drivers (gas turbine, gas motor and electric motor) and compressors (centrifugal and reciprocating) are analyzed. The importance of considering all possible operating conditions is stressed. With the wide range of possible operating conditions for the pipeline in mind, the discussion will be brought into the general context of operational flexibility, availability, reliability, installation issues, remote control, and operability of gas turbine driven centrifugal compressors compared to other solutions such as electric motor driven compressors or gas engine driven reciprocating compressors. The impact of different concepts on emissions and fuel cost is discussed. Among the assumptions in this paper are the performance characteristics of the compressor. It will be outlined how these performance characteristics influence the conclusions.

Thermochemical Heat Recovery

The research’s subject is the processes of energy transformation of fuel in the ship gas turbine plant with thermochemical regeneration. Modern approaches to assessing the energy efficiency of ship power plants were considered. The characteristics of traditional and alternative marine fuels were analyzed. The use of methanol as a low-carbon marine fuel is discussed. It is proposed to increase the efficiency of methanol use by using synthesis gas obtained through thermochemical heat recovery of secondary energy resources of ship engines. The main objective of the study is to analyze the effects on the energy efficiency of steam thermochemical transformation of methanol of the limitations associated with the system of supplying gaseous fuel to the engine. The influence of pressure in the thermochemical reactor on the steam’s efficiency of reforming of methanol was analyzed. The design schemes of two variants of the ship gas turbine installation with thermochemical heat recovery by steam conversion of methanol are presented. The methanol conversion efficiency was determined by the heat potential of the exhaust gases and was calculated based on the thermal balance of the thermochemical reactor. The reactor’s model is two- component. The mathematical model of the turbocompressor unit is based on an enlarged calculation taking into account the total pressure loss in all elements of the gas-air duct. The results of mathematical modeling of processes in plants based on gas turbine engines of simple and regenerative cycles under conditions of fixed methanol’s consumption, the fixed temperature of the gas in the turbine’s front for environmental parameters according to ISO 19859: 2016 are presented. The efficiency of the scheme which used steam conversion of methanol at pressures corresponding to the working pressure in the combustion chamber was revealed. The increase in the energy efficiency of the installation is 3 ... 5 % with basic parameters and 10 ... 11 % for higher conduction temperatures or for catalytic reactors. The research results can be used in the promising power plants designing.

The re-evaporation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is capable of acting as a low temperature heat sink for power cycles, thereby enhancing the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Leaving aside the detail of the appropriate heat exchanger technology, the comparative performance of improved high and low temperature closed cycle gas turbines is investigated using non-dimensionalized performance analysis. It was shown that the effect of lowering the minimum cycle temperature on the efficiency is equivalent to raising the maximum cycle temperature by a multiple amount. The specific output, however, decreases to a fraction of that achieved by the cycle with the original minimum cycle temperature. Implications are drawn for the application of the closed cycle gas turbine utilizing cryogenic cold.

Abstract Design of gas turbine packages is subjected to safety issues and the related guidelines are provided by ISO-21789. According to this code, the ventilation system shall guarantee a good and safe dilution in case of an unexpected gas leakage from components of the fuel gas system inside the enclosure. The evaluation of the dilution is commonly carried out by CFD simulations and the ISO-21789 indicates the criteria to evaluate the danger of a gas leak by estimating the cloud volume of the explosive mixture. To follow this prescription and to properly calculate the exact volume cloud, it is fundamental to accurately reproduce the fuel gas leak, which is always a supersonic jet of fuel gas into an air-ventilated domain. The main criticality is to simulate a supersonic jet into a complex domain such as the gas turbine package, considering the industrial goals in terms of accuracy and time constraints. The complexity is due to the geometry of the package and to the multiple locations where the leakage could occur. In such context, it is preferable to develop an advanced modeling of the phenomenon rather than simply improve the detail of the CFD, that could turn out to be unfeasible for industrial goals. For this reason, the authors present a series of simulations of under-expanded jets at high pressure ratios carried out to investigate the applicability of the sonic source approach to not-round jets.
