Due to environmental regulations and social obligation towards society, more and more attention has been paid to the natural gas-fired for its excellent performance of environmental protection, energy saving and green economy. The present paper is devoted to the design and operational analysis aspects of natural gas-fired cupola. The basic structure of natural gas-fired cupola, including combustion section, melting section, preheating section and cupola well, etc has been discussed. The key technologies of burners, water-cooled grates, lining refractory, refractory balls, air preheater and cupola well are analyzed, and the basic parameters are determined. The melting process is briefly introduced, and the thermal balance of the whole furnace is analyzed. Application of the test in the case shows that natural gas-fired cupola has obvious advantages and high practical value.

As demand for electricity grows significantly, the main drivers of new capacity are the disposal of older, less efficient fossil fuel units; the near-term prospect of having tax credits for renewable energy; and long-term reductions in capital costs for renewable energy, especially solar photovoltaic. Low natural gas prices and favorable renewable energy costs make natural gas and renewable energy the main sources of new generation capacity by 2050. The main purpose of the scientific article is to cover the main problems of the electricity market of Ukraine, to analyze the process of promotion of green energy, to highlight the cases when the transition to alternative sources is a profitable process, in the context of uncertainty and rising prices for traditional energy sources. The article uses a number of general scientific and specific research methods, including methods of analysis and synthesis, scientific deduction and induction. The practical significance of the research is to develop recommendations for improving the state's regulatory function in the field of alternative energy. The large-scale introduction of non-traditional renewable energy in Ukraine will make a significant step in reducing the country's energy dependency, protecting the environment and creating the conditions for a country to join the European community. The scientific novelty is to study the stimulation of energy production using alternative sources, to study the creation of favorable economic conditions for the construction of alternative energy facilities, the development of a "green" economy and to ensure sustainable development of Ukraine. Conclusions and prospects for further research. In Ukraine, the alternative energy sector is developing slowly, but some structural shifts are noticeable, though far from planned. Many small and medium-sized enterprises have already installed solar panels in order to reduce the cost of production and generate additional profits. Further research requires the search for tools and mechanisms in the RES incentive system, with an assessment of the economic impact of their use, using modeling and forecasting methods and models. Keywords: electricity market, energy efficiency, energy intensity of the economy, renewable energy, green tariff

The fluid flow in the double cyclone separator is numerical simulated, using the Navier-Stokes equations with the Reynolds stress model (RSM). The basic parameters of gas flow are obtained as functions of radius such as the tangential velocity, the axial velocity and the static pressure. The numerical results show that in the cyclones water liquids are centrifuged onto the walls and removed from the natural gas due to the strong centrifugal field, while the natural gas stays in the central region and moves out from the up-outlet. The water can be well removed from the natural gas.

The present study has been attempted to systematically perform a visualizing analysis plan which can improve the flow rate, velocity and mass flow rate as a function of the size of the welding section in the injector as a key for the determination of the injection amount and time of the fuel (CH4) system for natural gas. As the setting conditions for the analysis, a minimum pressure of 2 bar and a maximum pressure of 8 bar were set to be the total pressure values in the case of the inlet, while 0 bar was set for opening drain to represent the state in the atmosphere in the case of the outlet. As a result, the characteristics with an increase in velocity could be affirmed as strong flow separation and eddy current were produced according to the model with a large size of welding section. An excellent performance with an improvement in the performance of velocity flow rate by about 40% could be affirmed in the model where the size of the welding section was designed to be 6 EA.

The paper presents the results of the optimisation of burner nozzle diameters during the combustion of natural gas under the conditions of increasing oxygen concentrations in the oxidizer in aluminium melting processes in drum rotary furnaces. The optimisation of outlet nozzle diameters was performed employing the method of experimental measurements, the results of which can be used for aluminium melting in hearth furnaces. The measurements were carried out using an experimental upstream burner with 13.5 kW input power. The monitored oxygen concentrations in the oxidizer ranged from 21% to 50%. The measurements were performed and evaluated in two variations of the burner configuration (geometry). In the first study, the impact of the enriched oxidizer on the melting of aluminium ingots was evaluated with the defined diameter of the air nozzle, which resulted in a reduction of the aluminium charge melting time by 50% at 45.16% oxygen concentration in the oxidizer, thus achieving savings in the consumption of fuel used for melting. In the second study, the diameter was optimised depending on the combustion rate of the natural gas and oxidizer mixture. The optimisation of the nozzle parameters resulted in the reduction of the charge melting time by 23.66%, while the same 25% enriched oxidizer was used. With the rise of the enrichment level to 35%, further reduction by approximately 12% was observed. The measurement results prove considerable influence of the parameter (geometry) optimisation of the outlet nozzles and oxidizer enrichment. Appropriately selected parameters of the burner can contribute to achieving comparable results at a lower enrichment of the oxidizer. The obtained results demonstrate the intensification of the heat transfer in the current thermal aggregates. The research conclusions confirm that oxygen-enhanced combustion and modification of existing burners reduces the specific energy consumption on the process and reduces CO2 emissions.

A procedure is offered for recalculation of values of the centrifugal natural gas injectors’ basic parameters characterizing the technological capabilities of these machines and their performance efficiency. The recalculation is based on the data on the machines current technical state. This procedure use allows for operating the injectors more rationally with the account of their actual state and thus improving the cost/performance ratios of gas-transporting systems.
