Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine fuel supply technology, specifically to a hydrogen-blended fuel supply system for offshore platforms and its implementation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial application of hydrogen energy, hydrogen-fired gas turbines are a key factor in achieving a carbon-free, hydrogen-based society by 2050 through the use of renewable energy globally. Offshore operating platforms possess a significant number of gas turbine-driven compressors and generators, providing a wide range of possibilities for hydrogen energy utilization. Simultaneously, offshore operating platforms also have oil and gas boilers, which can also serve as hydrogen energy utilization devices. Compared to natural gas, hydrogen has the advantages of faster combustion speed and higher flame temperature. The blending of hydrogen increases the flame propagation speed of the fuel, lowers the minimum ignition energy, and widens the lean fuel limit. Therefore, existing gas turbines and boilers on offshore operating platforms need to undergo hydrogen blending assessments, and where necessary, appropriate modifications should be made to ensure compatibility with hydrogen-blended natural gas. Current research primarily focuses on ensuring gas performance and safety on offshore platforms after adjusting the hydrogen blending ratio, without altering the end-user gas equipment. The main impacts of blending hydrogen into natural gas on the mixed gas include changes in calorific value, specific gravity, combustion limits, flame emissivity, the Joule-Thomson effect, and minimum ignition energy. These effects are crucial to the operational stability and safety of gas-consuming equipment such as gas turbines and boilers. Therefore, it is necessary to configure a reasonable and reliable hydrogen-blended gas supply system based on the specific application of gas turbines and boilers on offshore platforms.

[0003] Currently, due to limitations in hydrogen production and storage technologies, the large-scale application of hydrogen energy is still in a transitional stage. Natural gas blending with hydrogen directly utilizes the advantages of natural gas pipelines, while also offering benefits such as lower investment, rapid economic returns, and wide connectivity to end users. This makes it a feasible solution for transitioning from fossil fuels to a hydrogen economy and accelerating the development of the hydrogen energy industry, while also providing technological reserves for large-scale hydrogen energy applications. More importantly, the use of blended hydrogen natural gas can increase the proportion of hydrogen in the energy mix, reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, and help expand hydrogen demand and reduce hydrogen production costs through large-scale production. This is of great significance for the promotion of hydrogen energy in transportation, construction, manufacturing, and power. The hydrogen blending ratio of HCNG has a significant impact on gas transmission equipment, combustion, and emission characteristics. HCNG equipment used by end users, especially industrial users, typically has parameters set for a certain hydrogen blending ratio, and the actual hydrogen blending ratio of supplied HCNG can fluctuate within a certain range. If the volume of hydrogen blended in upstream HCNG exceeds this range, it may pose risks or lead to a decrease in energy efficiency; therefore, it is essential to maintain a relatively stable hydrogen blending ratio in HCNG. The flow rate of natural gas in natural gas pipelines generally fluctuates within a certain range. If the amount of hydrogen blending is not adjusted in time according to the flow rate, the hydrogen blending ratio may exceed the control range, posing a safety risk to the entire gas transmission system and downstream users.

[0004] However, existing natural gas hydrogen blending devices rely on natural gas pipeline systems to achieve hydrogen-blended natural gas transportation. Existing technologies for natural gas hydrogen blending devices suffer from significant deviations in hydrogen blending ratios, cumbersome metering processes, and unstable hydrogen-blended gas supply, all of which severely impact the stable operation of gas equipment.
