Performance of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) can be enhanced by converting thermal energy of its high temperature exhaust gas to mechanical power using a micro gas turbine (MGT). A MGT plays also an important role to pressurize and warm up inlet gas streams of the SOFC. In this study, the influence of performance characteristics of the tubular SOFC on the hybrid power system is discussed. For this purpose, detailed heat and mass transfer with reforming and electrochemical reactions in the SOFC are mathematically modeled, and their results are reflected to the performance analysis. The analysis target is 220kWe SOFC/MGT hybrid system based on the tubular SOFC developed by Siemens-Westinghouse. Special attention is paid to the ohmic losses in the tubular SOFC counting not only current flow in radial direction, but also current flow in circumferential direction through the anode and cathode.

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.

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. This paper describes the procedures and results for the mechanical, electrical, and environmental tests of MGT on actual grid-connection under Korean regulations. As one of the achievements, the simulation model of MGT was developed, so that it will be able to analyze or propose new distributed generation system using MGT. The field test was conducted in order to respond to a wide variety of needs for noise reduction and utilization and its performance was evaluated in consideration of its operational problems. The MGT is successfully supplying electricity to Korean grids with satisfying various regulations. 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.

전기자동차 레인지 익스텐더는 소형 엔진으로 구동되는 발전기 시스템(초소형 파워팩)으로서 자동차 운행 중 지속 충전을 통하여 운전 거리 및 시간을 연장한다. 기존 가솔린 엔진 파워팩은 복잡한 구조와 낮은 에너지 밀도로 인하여 고출력 소형 시스템 구현에 한계가 있다. 반면, 가스터빈 파워팩은 출력밀도가 매우 높고 고속화를 통해 시스템의 소형화가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 전기자동차 레인지 익스텐더로 활용하기 위하여 초소형 가스터빈, 자동차용 알터네이터, 배터리를 사용한 초소형 가스터빈 파워팩 실험장치를 개발하고, 무부하 및 부하 조건에서 동력전달 기어비 및 알터네이터 전기부하에 따른 운전 특성 및 발전 성능을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 부하 변화에 따른 발전 성능의 변화는 없었으며, 코어터빈 속도가 150 krpm 일 때 최대 전기적 출력은 0.8 kW 로 측정되었다. 또한, 동력축의 3:1 감속을 통해 전기적 출력은 1.5 kW 로 88% 증가하였다. 따라서, 본 연구의 초소형 가스터빈 파워팩은 배터리 부하변동에 대해 안정적인 전력생산이 가능하며, 전기자동차용 레인지 익스텐더로 적용가능함을 확인하였다.

마이크로 가스터빈의 높은 연료 다양성은 광범위한 범위의 적용처에 적용할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 최근에는 가스터빈 발전시스템의 연료로서, 유기성폐기물의 소화가스와 쓰레기 매립지로부터 발생되는 바이오 가스에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 우리는 매립지 가스를 이용하여 마이크로 가스터빈 열병합 발전시스템의 성능특성 및 운전 특성에 대한 영향을 연구하고 있다. 메탄과 이산화탄소를 동시에 회수하는 공정을 개발하여 현장 실증 플랜트 규모로 시험을 수행하였으며, 유리온실에 농작물의 이산화탄소 고농도 집적을 목적으로 철-킬레이트 화합물을 기본으로 하는 액상촉매를 이용하여 매립지 가스내에 있는 불순물을 저렴한 비용으로 제거하고자 한다. Fe-EDTA(철-킬레이트)를 이용한 내부순환 다판식 기포탑 반응기에 의하여 농축정제와 이산화탄소 제거가 매립지 가스의 최적화 연료화를 추진하였다. 매립지가스의 유량은 0.207 $m^3$/min이고 5.5 kg/$cm^2$의 압력으로 공급되며 메탄농도 70%, 이산화탄소 27%로 공급되도록 농축반응기를 설계하였고 황화수소 99% 제거를 목표로 한다. 유리온실은 마이크로 가스터빈 배가스와 온수를 이용하여 대기중의 이산화탄소 농도에서 1500 ppm의 농도범위로 공급되도록 설계되었다.

In this study, a 2W micro-gas turbine engine was designed using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, and experimental investigations of its potential under actual combustion conditions were performed. A micro-gas turbine (MGT) contains a turbo-charger, combustor, and generator. Compressor and turbine blades, and generator coil were manufactured using MEMS technology. The shaft was supported by a precision computer numerical control (CNC) machined static air bearing, and a permanent magnet was attached to the end of the shaft for generation. A heat transfer analysis found that the cooling effect of the air bearing and compressor was sufficient to cover the combustor's high temperature, which was verified in an actual experiment. The generator performance test showed that it can generate 2W at design rotational speed. Prototype micro-gas turbine generated maximum 1 mW electric power and lasted up to 15 minutes.

This study aims to analyze operating performance of a micro gas turbine with the aid of detailed measurements of various system parameters. In addition to embedded measurements, parameters such as exhaust temperatures, engine inlet temperatures and fuel flow rates are measured. Variations in measured data and estimated performance parameters are analyzed. Those data are processed to calculate losses along the power transmission line and the net gas turbine performance (power and efficiency based on the gas turbine shaft end) is isolated from the overall system performance. A method to estimate characteristic parameters such as component efficiencies, based on the comparison between measured and predicted performance data, is suggested and exemplified for the full load condition.

Micro gas turbines are designed with low turbine inlet temperature and pressure ratio. To overcome the efficiency defect of the simple cycle, adoption of the recuperator is an inevitable choice. In addition to the design performance, we should also pay attention to the off-design performance of gas turbines since they usually operate at part-load conditions lot a considerable amount of their lifetime. This study analyzes off-design performance characteristics of micro gas turbines and addresses the importance of the recuperation process doting the part load operation. Comparative analyses have been performed to evaluate the part load performance differences among various design and operating options : simple vs recuperative cycles, single vs two shaft configurations, various operating strategies for the single shaft configuration, and current vs advanced engines. Major finding is that maintaining high turbine exhaust temperature is crucial for efficient operation of micro gas turbines.
