CO2 is a main greenhouse gas fazing the Earth. So countries around the world are actively studying the methods of capturing CO2 to reduce emission. In this paper, firstly a brief review was carried out on the research development and technical problems of three typical near-zero CO2 emission power generation systems. Focus was made on the construction of one possible commercially applied zero emission system, which has new principle but relatively conservative sections. Preliminary analysis and calculation of energy and mass flow have been finished to evaluate its performance. The results showed that apart from zero CO2 emission, a relatively tempting efficiency could be sustained. Theoretically, higher than 90% purity of CO2 and 63% generation efficiency of the whole system can be achieved.

Methane hydrate dissociation is studied using numerical and experimental approaches for a low carbon dioxide (CO2) emission power generation system utilizing methane hydrate. A novel power generation system has been proposed by authors, in which methane gas produced from oceanic methane hydrate reservoir by thermal stimulation method is used as fuels. The performance of the power generation system and the heat loss during the injection of hot seawater to the methane hydrate layer were investigated in previous study. However, the estimation of the methane gas production rate from the methane hydrate reservoir is necessary to evaluate the performance of whole system. In this study, we conducted the numerical simulation of methane hydrate reservoir. In order to evaluate the reaction rate of methane hydrate dissociation, the methane hydrate formation and dissociation experiment was conducted. The result of numerical simulation indicates the necessity of improvement of the production process to supply the heat of hot water effectively. From the experimental result, it comes to see that consideration of the scale effect of the methane hydrate construction is necessary to describe the dissociation rate.

From the view point of future coal utilization technology for the thermal power generation systems, the coal gasification combined cycle system has drawn special interest recently. In the coal gasification combined cycle power generation system, it is necessary to develop a high temperature gas turbine combustor using a low-BTU gas (LBG) which has high thermal efficiency and low emissions. In Japan a development program of the coal gasification combined cycle power generation system has started in 1985 by the national government and Japanese electric companies. In this program, 1300°C class gas turbines will be developed. If the fuel gas cleaning system is a hot type, the coal gaseous fuel to be supplied to gas turbines will contain ammonia. Ammonia will be converted to nitric oxides in the combustion process in gas turbines. Therefore, low fuel-NOx combustion technology will be one of the most important research subjects. This paper describes low fuel-NOx combustion technology for 1300°C class gas turbine combustors using coal gaseous low-BTU fuel as well as combustion characteristics and carbon monoxide emission characteristics. Combustion tests were conducted using a full-scale combustor used for the 150 MW gas turbine at the atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, high pressure combustion tests were conducted using a half-scale combustor used for the 1 50 MW gas turbine.

Coal and industrial waste heat synergetic utilization power generation system (the synergetic system) is proposed according to the energy cascade utilization principle. The industrial waste heat is used for feedwater heating of coal-fired power generation system to substitute steam extraction from steam turbine. The thermal performance of stand-alone waste heat power generation, stand-alone coal-fired power generation, and synergetic systems were studied, to compare the power generation capability of each system using heat balance method. The results show that the power generation capability of synergetic power generation system is larger than that of the two stand-alone systems. The equivalent and same grade waste heat synergized with higher-parameter, larger-capacity coal-fired power generation systems can generate more electricity than with the low-parameter ones; the high-parameter waste heat synergized with the higher-parameter and larger-capacity power generation systems can reach larger power generation capability. The multi-energy synergetic heating mode can greatly improve the comprehensive energy efficiency and reduce the coal consumption compared with the stand-alone energy heating mode.

Temperature is one of the important factors affecting the power generation efficiency of PV cells. In order to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation systems and heat utilization efficiency, we used Matlab/Simulink to build photovoltaic power system analysis model based on thermal power. By changing the heat and illumination input to the photovoltaic cell model and the heat generated by the battery we got the characteristics and temperature characteristics of the photovoltaic cell the system model, the photovoltaic power generation system model and the output power correction, etc. We got the environmental temperature change equation through the actual air temperature and curve fitting and used real and detailed data to compare the data obtained using the equation for online correction. PV cells temperature factor was used to get the PV cells temperature with the environment temperature changes. In order to get PV module thermal /energy efficiency the dates was processed and analyzed by using Matlab and Excel through actual observation data of school 120KW PV power station. The results showed that power generation efficiency increased and year average efficiency PV improved 21.3279% through the use of some heat about PV cells.

A 3kW PEMFC power generation system is developed by Energy and Resources Laboratories in 2002. This system integrates hydrogen storage, fuel reformer, power conversion, hot water tank as well as a 3kW PEMFC stack. The power generation efficiency at 30% and total energy efficiency with hot water recovery at 67% are designed. The stack is key component of this system, and its performance is tested and analyzed before it is integrated into the system. This paper presents its performance in I-V polarization curves with controlling parameters such as fuel cell operating temperature, air humidity, hydrogen humidity and stoichimetric ratio of air. Detailed discussions are given for the effect of each parameter on stack’s performance.
