HYDROGEN INTEGRATION IN GAS TURBINES: OEM INNOVATIONS AND CHALLENGES IN ADVANCING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEMSPages 99-108 Abstract
This research analyzes the incorporation of hydrogen as a fuel in gas turbines, highlighting its crucial significance in the shift towards a low-carbon energy framework. Gas turbines operating on hydrogen sustainably stabilize renewable energy systems and diminish greenhouse gas emissions. The research investigates flame stabilization, flashback, thermoacoustic dynamics, and NOx emissions, highlighting the necessity for better combustion technologies. The document analyzes hydrogen production techniques, including steam methane reforming (SMR) and electrolysis, emphasizing their scalability and ecological consequences. Innovations from industry giants such as GE and Mitsubishi are emphasized, including creating specialized combustor designs, hydrogen co-firing systems, and ammonia-cracking technology. These improvements highlight hydrogen's promise as a zero-carbon fuel, which can bolster grid stability, improve renewable energy integration, and meet global decarbonization objectives by 2050. A thorough examination of performance data and operating experiences yields significant insights into the problems and opportunities related to hydrogen integration in gas turbines.
