A thermodynamic simulation method is developed for the process design and the performance evaluation of the gas turbine in IGCC power plant. The present study adopts four clean coal gases derived from four different coal gasification and gas clean-up processes as IGCC gas turbine fuel, and considers the integration design condition of the gas turbine with ASU(Air Separation Unit). In addition, the present simulation method includes compressor performance map and expander choking models for considering the off-design effects due to coal gas firing and ASU integration. The present prediction results show that the efficiency and the net power of the IGCC gas turbines are seperior to those of the natural gas fired one but they are decreased with the air extraction from gas turbine to ASU. The operation point of the IGCC gas turbine compressor is shifted to the higher pressure ratio condition far from the design point by reducing the air extraction ratio. The exhaust gas of the IGCC gas turbine has more abundant wast heat for the heat recovery steam generator than that of the natural gas fired gas turbine.

This study is aimed to investigate changes of combustion characteristics and heat efficiency when syngas from gasification process using low-rank fuel such as waste and/or biomass is applied partially to an industrial boiler. An experimental study on syngas co-combustion was performed in a 0.7 MW (1 ton steam/hr) water tube boiler using heavy oil as a main fuel. Three kinds of syngas were used as an alternative fuel: mixture gas of pure carbon monoxide and hydrogen, syngas of low calorific value generated from an air-blown gasification process, and syngas of high calorific value produced from an oxygen-blown gasification process. Effects of co-combustion ratio (0~20%) for each syngas on flue gas composition were investigated through syngas injection through the nozzles installed in the side wall of the boiler and measuring $O_2$, $CO_2$, CO and NOx concentrations in the flue gas. When syngas co-combustion was applied, injected syngas was observed to be burned completely and NOx concentration was decreased because nitrogen-containing-heavy oil was partially replaced by the syngas. However, heat efficiency of the boiler was observed to be decreased due to inert compounds in the syngas and the more significant decrease was found when syngas of lower calorific value was used. However, the decrease of the efficiency was under 10% of the heat replacement by syngas.

An apparatus for generating flames and more particularly the microwave plasma burner for generating high-temperature large-volume plasma flame was presented. The plasma burner was composed of micvrowave transmission lines, a field applicator, discharge tube, coal and gas supply systems, and a reactor. The plasma burner is operated by injecting coal powders into a 2.45 GHz microwave plasma torch and by mixing the resultant gaseous hydrogen and carbon compounds with plasma-forming gas. We in this work used air, oxygen, steam, and their mixtures as a discharge gas or oxidant gas. The microwave plasma torch can instantaneously vaporize and decompose the hydrogen and carbon containing fuels. It was observed that the flame volume of the burner was more than 50 times that of the torch plasma. The preliminary experiments were carried out by measuring the temperature profiles of flames along the radial and axial directions. We also investigated the characteristics for coal combustion and gasification by analyzing the byproducts from the exit of reactor. As expected, various byproducts such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, etc. were detected. It is expected that such burner cab be applied to coal gasification, hydrocarbon reforming, industrial boiler of power plants, etc.

정유공장으로부터 발생하는 중잔사유를 이용하는 가스화 복합발전 플랜트에 대한 공정모사를 수행하였다. 가스화 복합사이클의 발전계통을 모델링하기 위해 본 연구는 MS7001FA 가스터빈이 공기분리장치와 연계되어 있고, 공기분리장치를 위한 공기 추출과 공기분리장치로 부터의 질소희석이 이루어진다고 가정하였다 가스터빈의 폐열은 삼중압력의 페열회수 증기발생장치로부터 회수하였다. 가스터빈의 합성가스 연료는 중잔사유가 Shell 가스화 및 Sulfinol-SCOT-Claus 공정을 거쳐 발생되는 것으로 가정하였다. 공정 최적화 결과로부터, 가스화 복합사이클의 효율이, 질소 희석이 없는 경우와 있는 경우에 대해, 공기추출비 20% 또는 40∼60%에서 가장 우수했다. 그리고, 연소지의 질소희석은 NOx 저감에 매우 바람직하고 현저한 효과를 가져오나, 반면에 가스터빈의 운전조건을 써지 조건에 가깝게 이동시킴을 알 수 있었다.

석탄가스화 복합발전(IGCC) 시스템의 공정 시뮬레이션의 일환으로서 석탄가스용 복합발전 플랜트의 성능해석을 하였다. Texaco 가스화기와 저온가스 정제공정에서 생성된 가스를 연료로 하는 가스터빈/증기터빈/폐열회수보일러로 구성된 복합사이클발전시스템을 구성한 후, ASPEN(Advanced System for Process Engineering) Code를 이용하여 정상상태 성능해석을 수행하였다. 가스터빈 사이클(GE MS 7001FA)은 공기분리 공정과의 연계성(Integration)이 고려되었고, 증기사이클은 가스화공정과 가스정제 공정과의 연계성(Integration)을 고려하여 구성하였다. 공정해석결과 가스터빈출력(MWe)은 천연가스를 사용하는 경우에 비하여 동일 입열량(연소기 입구기준)기준으로 약 20%의 증가를 가져왔다. 본 연구의 결과를 Bechtel Canada Inc.에서 Nova Scotia 발전소를 대상으로 1991년에 수행한 연구결과와 비교하였을때 잘 일치하였으며, 이를 통하여 본 연구에서 사용된 해석방법이 상용화 공정의 시뮬레이션에 적정하게 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

One of the most critical issues in sol id oxide fuel cell (SOFC)running on hydrocarbon fuels is the risk of carbon formation from the fuel gas. The simple method to reduce the risk of carbon formation from the reactions is to add steam to the fuel stream, leading to the carbon gasification react ion. However, the addition of steam to fuel is not appropriate for the auxiliary power unit (APU) and potable power generation (PPG) systems due to an increase of complexity and bulkiness. In this regard, many researchers have focused on so-called 'direct methane' operation of SOFC, which works with dry methane without coking. However, coking can be suppressed only by the operation with a high current density, which may be a drawback especially for the APU and PPG systems. The single chamber fuel cell (SC-SOFC) is a novel simplification of the conventional SOFC into which a premixed fuel/air mixture is introduced. It relies on the selectivity of the anode and cathode catalysts to generate a chemical potential gradient across the cell. Moreover it allows compact and seal-free stack design. In this study, we fabricated honeycomb type mixed-gas fuel cell (MGFC) which has advantages of stacking to the axial direction and increasing volume power density. Honeycomb-structured SOFC with four channels was prepared by dry pressing method. Two alternative channels were coated with electrolyte and cathode slurry in order to make cathodic reaction sites. We will discuss that the anode supported honeycomb type cell running on mixed gas condition.
