[0002] LNG-powered ships gradually become the mainstream of green shipping due to their high-efficiency emission reduction advantages. With the increasingly stringent emission regulations and the strong pursuit of "zero-carbon" ships, how to further increase efficiency and reduce emissions has become a research hotspot. At present, LNG-powered ships mostly use dual-fuel engines, which cannot truly achieve zero-carbon emission.
[0003] Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a device that can directly convert the chemical energy of hydrogen and other fuels into electrical energy. It can be combined with gas turbines, Rankine cycles, etc. to improve the energy utilization efficiency of the system. Although combining SOFC with other power systems can achieve efficiency far exceeding that of traditional internal combustion engines, natural gas itself contains carbon, so additional carbon capture devices need to be added after the power device to achieve zero-carbon emission.

On the basis of the LNG fuel supply system, the SOFC fuel cell cathode reaction gas and anode reaction gas are isolated from each other, the nitrogen gas not participating in the reaction is excluded, and the generated carbon oxides are concentrated and treated, greatly reducing the energy consumption of separation, collection and liquefaction of CO2. However, in this carbon emission reduction system, neither the LNG cold energy nor the SOFC tail gas heat energy can be fully utilized, and the system energy efficiency is low.

[0044] The working principle of the zero-carbon emission ship SOFC / GT / SCO2 hybrid power system provided in the embodiments of the present application is specifically introduced below.
[0045] (I) Air separation and oxygen production subsystem
[0046] The air separation and oxygen production subsystem combines membrane separation and low-temperature distillation air separation processes, and uses the cold energy of LNG and air separation products to liquefy gas.
[0047] Specifically, air is purified by an air separation membrane 1 to contain 40.81% of oxygen-enriched air, a vacuum pump 2 is used to provide gas diffusion driving force, then the oxygen-enriched air is compressed by a first compressor 3 and liquefied by a first heat exchanger 4, and then depressurized by a pump turbine 6 and enters a first rectifying column 7 for preliminary rectification.

The LNG, the high-purity liquid oxygen and the combined high-purity nitrogen are respectively introduced into the first heat exchanger 4 to liquefy the oxygen-enriched air.
[0048] (II) SOFC / GT hybrid power subsystem
[0049] The LNG gasified by the second heat exchanger 5 is compressed by a second compressor 11 to a certain pressure, heated by a third heat exchanger 12, and mixed with water vapor gasified by a water pump 26 and an eighth heat exchanger 27 in a second mixer 13. The mixed gas is heated by a fourth heat exchanger 14 and a fifth heat exchanger 15 in turn, and then sent to a reforming chamber 16. The heat for the operation of the reforming chamber 16 is provided by a post-combustion chamber 19. The hydrogen-rich reforming gas at the outlet of the reforming chamber 16 is cooled by the fourth heat exchanger 14 and introduced into the anode of an SOFC 17.
[0050] The oxygen-enriched gas, which is gasified by the second heat exchanger 5 and compressed by the fourth compressor 28, is mixed with the cathode recirculation gas from the left end outlet of the ninth heat exchanger 30 in the third mixer 29, and then enters the cathode of the SOFC 17. The hydrogen-rich reforming gas reacts with the oxygen-enriched gas in the SOFC 17 to generate electric energy. The gas after the anode reaction of the SOFC 17 directly enters the afterburner 19 for combustion. The gas from the cathode outlet of the SOFC 17 is separated by the separator 18 into two streams. One stream enters the afterburner 19 for combustion, and the other stream drives the first SCO2 circulation subsystem through the ninth heat exchanger 30. The SOFC can adjust the operating temperature by adjusting the cathode recirculation ratio.
[0051] The high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas after combustion in the afterburner 19 drives the second turbine 20. The gas after work is sequentially passed through the fifth heat exchanger 15, the third heat exchanger 12, the seventh heat exchanger 25, and the eighth heat exchanger 27. The seventh heat exchanger 25 drives the second SCO2 circulation subsystem using the waste heat of the exhaust gas.
[0052] (Three) SCO2 Circulation Subsystem
[0053] The first SCO2 circulation subsystem is driven by the cathode recirculation gas. The ninth heat exchanger 30 heats the circulating working medium, which is then expanded to do work at the fourth turbine 31. The expanded working medium gas is cooled by the tenth heat exchanger 32 and further cooled at the second cooler 33. The further cooled gas is compressed at the fifth compressor 34 and heated by the tenth heat exchanger 32, and then returns to the ninth heat exchanger 30 to complete a cycle.
[0054] The second SCO2 circulation subsystem is driven by the waste heat of the SOFC exhaust gas. The circulating working medium is heated at the seventh heat exchanger 25 and expanded to do work at the third turbine 21. The expanded working medium gas is cooled by the sixth heat exchanger 22 and further cooled at the first cooler 23. The further cooled gas is compressed at the third compressor 24 and heated by the sixth heat exchanger 22, and then returns to the seventh heat exchanger 25 to complete a cycle.
[0055] (Four) Carbon Capture Subsystem
[0056] The carbon capture system uses a low-temperature method to capture liquefied CO2, realizing simultaneous carbon capture and carbon storage.
[0057] In the carbon capture subsystem, the exhaust gas is cooled to 25°C by the third cooler 35, at which time most of the water vapor condenses and is separated out. Then, the uncondensed gas is compressed by the sixth compressor 37 and then enters the second heat exchanger 5 to be condensed into liquid high-purity CO2. The second heat exchanger 5 uses the remaining cold energy after air separation of the air separation product and LNG to liquefy CO2, achieving full utilization of the cold energy of the system.
[0058] The following gives a specific example to further introduce the feasibility of the present application.
[0059] The system initial conditions are shown in Table 1, and the system simulation results are shown in Table 2.
[0060] Table 1 System initial conditions
[0061]
[0062] Table 2 System simulation results
[0063]
[0064] From Table 2, under the system initial conditions of Table 1, the present application can achieve a system net power generation efficiency of 55.92% and a system net power generation of 6730 kW, and the present application can achieve a CO2 capture rate of 15 mol / s, achieving zero carbon emission operation of the system. If calculated according to 6000 hours of system operation per year, 22963 tons of CO2 emission can be reduced per year.
[0065] In summary, the present application achieves efficient zero emission operation of a ship, and provides a feasible scheme for green and efficient development of a LNG powered ship.
