<p>Electricity is an indispensable amenity in present society. Among all those energy resources, coal is readily available all over the world and has risen only moderately in price compared with other fuel sources. As a result, coal-fired power plant remains to be a fundamental element of the world's energy supply. IGCC, abbreviation of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, is one of the primary designs for the power-generation market from coal-gasification. This work presents a in the proposed process, diluted hydrogen is combusted in a gas turbine. Heat integration is central to the design. Thus far, the SGR process and the HGD unit are not commercially available. To establish a benchmark. Some thermodynamic inefficiencies were found to shift from the gas turbine to the steam cycle and redox system, while the net efficiency remained almost the same. A process simulation was undertaken, using Aspen Plus and the engineering equation solver (EES).The The model has been developed using Aspen Hysys® and Aspen Plus®. Parts of it have been developed in Matlab, which is mainly used for artificial neural network (ANN) training and parameters estimation. Predicted results of clean gas composition and generated power present a good agreement with industrial data. This study is aimed at obtaining a support tool for optimal solutions assessment of different gasification plant configurations, under different input data sets.</p>

The rotating components in the hot sections of land-based gas turbine are exposed to severe environment during several ten thousand hours at above 1100 oC operating temperature. The failure mechanism of the hot gas components would be accompanied by material degradation in the properties of high temperature and creep rupture strength. Many hot gas components in gas turbine are made of Ni-based superalloy because of their high temperature performance. In this work, we surveyed the time and temperature dependent degradation of Ni-based superalloy. We prepared the specimens from GTD111 that are exposed at 871 oC and 982 oC in 1,000 ~ 10,000 hours. We carried out the mechanical test and microstructural observation.

The hot gas in the main annulus of a gas turbine can ingest into the rotor-stator cavities through the rim seal clearance as a result of the interaction of the rotor and the stator disks and the external flow in the hot gas annulus. To prevent the turbine root region from being heated up, this ingestion has to be avoided almost completely. This paper introduces a new idea to improve turbine sealing effectiveness through slot width modification of the rim seal. Unsteady numerical simulations are performed with two different rim seal geometries at the design condition with different cooling flow rates. Both of the rim seal geometries are simple axial seal configurations. One is uniform slot rim seal geometry and is taken as the reference case. The other is a new kind of rim seal geometry with slot width modification. The clearance is bigger in the main flow path and smaller in the stator wake region keeping the area of the two kinds of rim seal surfaces equivalent. The sealing air egress happens in the main path flow region and the ingestion happens in the stator wake region. Through comparing the results of the two kinds of rim seal geometries, it is found out that the contoured slot rim seal geometry can reduce the pressure in the cavity which leads to the decrease of the gas turbine loss. The inward radial velocity of the ingestion increases in the stator wake region and hence the axial seal gap has been reduced in this region. The time-averaged outward radial velocity decreases in the main flow region and becomes more uniform. Unsteady flow patterns in the rim seal region are compared for the two seal configurations. The sealing effectiveness is rapidly improved by using the contoured seal configuration. This work provides an idea to increase the sealing effectiveness and decrease the pressure in the cavity.

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.

One of the most advanced and most effective technology for electricity generation nowadays based on a gas turbine combined cycle. This technology uses natural gas, synthesis gas from the coal gasification or crude oil processing products as the energy carriers but at the same time, gas turbine combined cycle emits SO2, NOx, and CO2 to the environment. In this paper, a thermodynamic analysis of environmentally friendly, high temperature gas nuclear reactor system coupled with gas turbine combined cycle technology has been investigated. The analysed system is one of the most advanced concepts and allows us to produce electricity with the higher thermal efficiency than could be offered by any currently existing nuclear power plant technology. The results show that it is possible to achieve thermal efficiency higher than 50% what is not only more than could be produced by any modern nuclear plant but it is also more than could be offered by traditional (coal or lignite) power plant.

This paper presents an update on the status of the technology of the water-cooled gas turbine developed by the General Electric Company under contracts with EPRI, ERDA, and DOE. Particular emphasis is devoted to the design and development of water-cooled composite turbine nozzles and buckets, and a sectoral combustor designed for low-Btu coal-derived gas operation. The operating characteristics of a low-temperature coal gas chemical cleanup system which is to be added to the coal gasification facility are also discussed. Status of the materials and process developments in support of the designs are also presented, as are updates to the Phase I HTTT Program combined-cycle studies, which evaluate the commercial viability of integrated coal gasification and combined-cycle operation.

Deposition, erosion, and corrosion (DEC) experiments were conducted using three coal-water fuels (CWF) in a staged subscale turbine combustor operated at conditions of a recuperated turbine. This rich-quench-lean (RQL) combustor appears promising for reducing NOx levels to acceptable levels for future turbines operating with CWF. Specimens were exposed in two test sections to the combustion products from the RQL combustor. The gas and most surface temperatures in the first and second test sections represented temperatures in the first stators and rotors, respectively, of a recuperated turbine. The test results indicate deposition is affected substantially by gas temperature, surface temperature, and unburned carbon due to incomplete combustion. The high rates of deposition observed at first stator conditions showed the need for additional tests to identify CWF coals with lower deposition tendencies and to explore deposition control measures such as hot gas cleanup.
