Production,Storage and Transportation of Hydrogen Fuel and Its Application in Gas Turbines
Hydrogen fuel has the advantages of a wide range of sources and no carbon emission in combustion.Gas turbines are indispensable equipment in industry,power and other fields.The use of hydrogen fuel in gas turbines can effectively reduce carbon emission and solve the fluctuation problem of renewable energy power generation.In order to provide technical reference for energy saving and emission reduction in China,this paper summarizes four aspects about production,storage,transportation and application in gas turbines of hydrogen fuel,and compares and summarizes the technical principles and advantages and disadvantages of each aspect.Although gray hydrogen has mature preparation technology and low cost,it has the highest carbon emission.With the development of CCUS(carbon capture,utilization and storage)technology and green hydrogen preparation technology,blue hydrogen and green hydrogen will gradually replace gray hydrogen.High pressure gaseous hydrogen storage and low temperature liquid hydrogen storage are the most mature hydrogen storage methods at present,but solid and liquid hydrogen storage with high hydrogen storage density will be the mainstream of hydrogen storage technology development in the future,but the main challenge is that hydrogen storage materials are harsh conditions for hydrogen absorption and emission,and efficient catalysts need to be developed.Hydrogen blending transportation by liquid ship and pipeline is a promising way of hydrogen transportation.Hydrogen gas turbines are divided into hydrogen doped,pure hydrogen gas turbine,the current demonstration project is basically hydrogen doped gas turbine,diffusive-type hydrogen doped burner can burn hydrogen doped up to 90%of the fuel.The premixed type hydrogen doped burner has low hydrogen doped ratio,pure hydrogen burner is mostly still in the experimental stage,but in the long run,pure hydrogen burner is the main direction of the future development of hydrogen gas turbine.
