In this work, a simulation study on net 500 MW class of Poly-Generation was conducted for the retrofit of an aged natural gas combined cycle. An entrained gasifier which has a capacity of maximum $260,000Nm^3/h$, 50 MW class of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell, and H-class Gas Turbine were selected as key processes. After unit design for those employed processes was set up and combined, the simulation was carried out with Gate-Cycle software (Ver. 6.0) for two cases. The selected cases are a retrofit type (Poly-Gen 1) and a new type (Poly-Gen 2). It was found that the efficiency of the retrofit case is 2.7% lower than that of the new case.

본 논문에서는 유기랭킨사이클과 LNG 사이클로 구성된 복합사이클의 열역학적 성능 해석을 수행한다. 이 복합사이클에서는 현열 형태의 저등급 폐열을 사용하며 LNG 냉열은 열싱크 뿐 아니라 동력 생산에도 사용된다. 시스템의 성능에 대한 터빈입구압력, 응축온도, 열원온도 등 주 파라미터들의 영향을 상세하게 분석한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이 복합시스템은 LNG 냉에너지를 사용하지 않은 일반의 ORC에 비해 현저하게 성능이 개선될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Research and development efforts to reduce $CO_2$ emission are in progress to cope with global warming. $CO_2$ emission from fossil fuel fired power plants is a major greenhouse gas source and the post-combustion $CO_2$ capture is considered as a short or medium term option to reduce $CO_2$ emissions. In this study, the application of the post-combustion $CO_2$ capture system, which is based on chemical absorption and stripping processes, to typical fossil fuel fired power plants was investigated. A coal fired plant and a natural gas fired combined cycle plant were selected. Performance of the MEA-based $CO_2$ capture system combined with power plants was analyzed and overall plant performance including the energy consumption of the $CO_2$ capture process was investigated.

In this paper, performance of the gas turbine combined cycle(GTCC) using pre-combustion carbon capture technology was comparatively analysed. Steam reforming and autothermal reforming were used. In the latter, two different methods were adopted to supply oxygen for the reforming process. One is to extract air form gas turbine compressor (air blowing) and the other is to supply oxygen directly from air separation unit ($O_2$ blowing). To separate $CO_2$ from the reformed gas, the chemical absorption system using MEA solution was used. The net cycle efficiency of the system adopting $O_2$ blown autothermal reforming was higher than the other two systems. The system using air blown autothermal reforming exhibited the largest net cycle power output. In addition to the performance analysis, the influence of fuel reforming and carbon capture on the operating condition of the gas turbine and the necessity of turbine re-design were investigated.

The combined cycle plant is an integration of gas turbine and steam turbine, combining the advantages of both cycles. It recovers the heat energy from gas turbine exhaust to use it to generate steam. The heat recovery steam generator plays a crucial role in combined cycle plants, providing the link between the gas turbine and the steam turbine. Simulation of the performance of the HRSG is required to study its effect on the entire cycle and system. Computational fluid dynamics has potential to become a useful to validate the performance of the HRSG. In this study a solver has been implemented in the open source code, OpenFOAM, for combustion simulation in the heat recovery steam generator. The solver is based on the steady laminar flamelet model to simulate detailed chemical reaction mechanism. Thereafter, the solver is used for simulation of HRSG system. Three cases with varying fuel injections and gas turbine exhaust gas flow rates were simulated and the results were compared with measurements at the system outlet. Predicted temperature and emissions and those from measurements showed the same trend and in quantitative agreement.

Interest in renewable energy is increasing for eco-friendly use of energy, and fuel cells are being used in various ways such as houses and buildings as power generation methods that have low emissions such as $NO_X$ and $CO_2$. As the supply of fuel cells expands, more and more boilers are installed in the existing buildings, but safety management is not being performed properly. Therefore, in this study, a prior study was conducted on the status of fuel cell-boiler complex installation and related criteria, and the risk factors were analyzed according to the installation environment and structure. Based on these standards, the safety performance of the fuel cell-boiler combined installation is assessed by conducting a demonstration using the starting product of the simulated operation to derive the installation criteria (proposal) for the fuel cell-boiler combined installation. The installation criteria (proposal) include the construction and connection method of the piping according to the fuel cell-boiler complex installation.

미세먼지 저감 및 에너지원 변환에 대한 정책 추진에 따라 천연가스를 연료로 하는 발전의 비중이 확대되고 있다. 복합화력발전 플랜트, 열병합발전 플랜트 등에서 천연가스 연료공급계통이 가스가 가열된 상태에서 고압으로 운용되고 있으므로, 누출사고를 예방하여 화재 및 폭발에 의해 사고를 방지하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 API RP 581 RBI 코드를 기반으로 복합화력발전 플랜트의 천연가스 연료공급계통을 대상으로 위험도 평가를 수행하였다. API RBI 코드의 적용을 위해 평가 대상 계통의 라인 및 세그먼트를 구분하였다. 파손확률과 파손피해 산출을 위해 운전 데이터 및 입력 정보를 분석하였다. 설치 초기 시점 및 운전시간 경과에 따른 위험도 평가 결과 추이를 분석하였다. 코드 기반 평가 시 가스연료 공급계통은 두께 감육, 외부 손상, 기계적 피로 손상기구의 영향이 주로 반영되었다. 운전 시간이 경과함에 따라 단열재 하부 부식(CUI, Corrosion Under Insulation) 등에 의한 외부손상이 위험도를 상승시키는 원인으로 예상되었다.

고온부에 해당하는 터빈 노즐과 로터의 냉각은 가스터빈의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 냉각 공기의 예냉각이 가스터빈과 복합화력 발전 성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 계산에 사용된 모델은 F-Class 가스 터빈이며 냉각을 고려한 터빈의 구성요소를 사용해 냉각공기의 변화에 대해 보다 정확한 모사를 구사하였다. 냉각공기의 예냉각에 따른 가스터빈의 성능변화를 나타내기 위해 탈설계 해석이 수행되었다. 노즐 및 로터의 냉각에 따른 성능 변화를 보다 정확하게 나타내기 위해 열역학적 냉각모델과 속도삼각형을 고려한 모델이 고려되었다. 또한 복합발전의 경우 냉각공기에서 추출된 열을 하부사이클에서 회수하여 스팀터빈을 구동하는데 추가적인 열을 공급하는 시스템이 구성되었다. 복합발전 시스템의 모든 냉각공기의 온도를 200K 예냉각하는 경우에 주유동가스의 유량증가로 인해 약 1.78%의 출력 증가를 나타내었으며 동일한 터빈 입구온도 유지를 위한 연료소모의 증가로 효율은 0.70% 포인트 감소하였다.

A remediation technology consisting of biodegradation and a modified Fenton reaction was developed to degrade mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site. The original Fenton reaction (i.e., $H_2O$$_2$ + Fe$^{2+}$) was modified to be biocompatible by using ferric ions and chelating agents such as catechol and gallic acid. The modified reaction was effective in degrading PAHs at near neutral pH and thus was compatible with biodegradation. By the combined treatment of the modified Fenton reaction and biodegradation, more than 98% of 2- or 3-ring hydrocarbons and between 70 and 85% of 4- or 5-ring compounds were degraded in the MGP soil, while maintaining its pH about 6.6.

As Decentralized Generation(DG) becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of DG units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This new market penetration of DG technologies is linked to a large number of factors like technologies costs and performances, interconnection issues, safety, market regulations, environmental issues or grid connection constrains. Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) has researched performance characteristics of the 60k W class 1) basic start-up & shutdown operation analysis 2) interconnection test 3) MGT -absorption chiller-heater system in the local condition. Variations of heat recovery from exhaust gas has measured according to micro gas turbine output of 15, 30, 45, 60kW. From those results, the performance of the MGT-absorption chiller/heater system has been evaluated. The suggested strategy and experience for the evaluation of the distributed generation will be used for the introduction of other distributed generation technologies into the grid in the future.
