Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of generators or engines, and in particular to a power generation system coupled with an ammonia-to-hydrogen gas turbine and an ammonia steam turbine. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy has the characteristics of abundant sources, high energy density, and being green and low-carbon. Since it does not produce carbon emissions as a fuel, it is the clean energy with the greatest development potential. Ammonia energy, as a hydrogen-rich substance, contains 17.6% hydrogen by mass, making it an ideal carrier of hydrogen. Using ammonia to supply hydrogen and using ammonia to replace hydrogen has become one of the development trends of hydrogen energy.

[0003] When ammonia is burned to produce hydrogen to generate electricity, ammonia is difficult to burn completely and produces tail gas containing nitrogen oxides. The direct emission of the tail gas not only causes environmental pollution, but also causes a large amount of heat energy waste. The utilization rate of ammonia combustion energy is not high, and the system for using ammonia energy to generate electricity is complex. Therefore, how to combine tail gas to improve the comprehensive energy efficiency of ammonia power generation is a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0004] A gas turbine is a power device that generates high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-kinetic energy gas by burning fuel to drive the turbine to do work. At present, power generation or mobile equipment using gas turbines as power sources is developing and applying rapidly. Its main advantage is that it has a better power density. However, in general, the thermal efficiency of gas turbines is often between 30-40%. The gas after the turbine has done work still has a high energy utilization value. It is a reasonable method in principle and practice to couple gas turbines and steam turbines for comprehensive use and use the residual heat of gas to heat steam. However, these two types of equipment usually use different working media, and the superposition of the two machines is bound to have disadvantages in terms of equipment complexity, space requirements, and storage management of different fuels. Therefore, under the current circumstances, how to combine the use of zero-carbon fuels, use gas turbines and steam turbines through a single fuel coupling, improve energy efficiency, and simplify equipment is a technical demand of great significance at present.

[0031] Specifically, the liquid ammonia delivery pump 2 is connected to the liquid ammonia storage tank 1 of the liquid ammonia source, and the liquid ammonia therein is delivered to the inlet of the ammonia channel 3a of the first heat exchanger 3 through the delivery pump at a certain flow rate, and flows out from the outlet of the ammonia channel 3a; the ammonia in the ammonia channel 3a is heated by the material in the compressed gas channel 3b of the first heat exchanger 3, and is completely gasified into gaseous ammonia at the outlet of the ammonia channel 3a; the gaseous ammonia is divided into two air flows at the three-way node 4, wherein the first branch air flow flows to the inlet of the reaction channel 5a of the ammonia decomposition reactor 5, and then is converted into product gas after a decomposition reaction occurs in the reaction channel 5a, and flows to the fuel gas inlet of the burner 6.

[0032] The gas turbine power generation assembly includes a first generator 12 and a coaxially arranged first compressor 10 and a first turbine 11, wherein the first turbine 11 is drivingly connected to the rotor of the first generator 12; the air boost assembly includes a coaxially arranged second compressor 8 and a second turbine 9, wherein the compressed gas outlet of the second compressor 8 is connected to the inlet of the compressed gas channel 3b of the first heat exchanger 3 through a pipeline, so as to exchange heat with the ammonia channel 3a of the first heat exchanger 3, the compressed gas channel 3b outlet of the first heat exchanger 3 is connected to the compressed gas inlet of the first compressor 10 through a pipeline, and the compressed gas outlet of the first compressor 10 is connected to the combustion chamber of the burner 6 through a pipeline; the flue gas outlet of the burner 6 is connected to the inlet of the first turbine 11 through a pipeline, the outlet of the first turbine 11 is connected to the inlet of the flue gas channel 5b of the ammonia decomposition reactor 5 through a pipeline, the outlet of the flue gas channel 5b of the ammonia decomposition reactor 5 is connected to the inlet of the second turbine 9 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the second turbine 9 is connected to the inlet of the exhaust gas channel 7b of the second heat exchanger 7 through a pipeline.

[0033] The second compressor 8 inhales air of normal pressure and temperature from the environment, and outputs high-pressure gas (pressure is p1) at its outlet, and its temperature will also be increased compared to normal temperature.

The flue gas flow drives the blades of the first turbine 11 to rotate, driving its turbine shaft and the rotating shaft of the first compressor 10 to rotate together, and then transmits the kinetic energy of the rotation to the rotor of the first generator 12 to generate electricity. The flue gas flowing out of the first turbine 11 flows into the inlet of the flue gas channel 5b of the ammonia decomposition reactor 5, heating the material inside the reaction channel 5a. The flue gas flows out from the outlet of its flue gas channel 5b and is introduced into the blades of the second turbine 9, pushing the blades to rotate, driving its turbine shaft and the rotating shaft of the second compressor 8 to rotate together, so that the second compressor 8 keeps on compressing the air at normal pressure and temperature sucked in from the environment.

[0034] The ammonia steam turbine power generation assembly provided by the present invention includes a second generator 15 and a third turbine 14. The outlet of the ammonia channel 7a of the second heat exchanger 7 is connected to the inlet of the third turbine 14 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the third turbine 14 is connected to the inlet of the ammonia cooling channel 16a of the cooling device 16 through a pipeline. The third turbine 14 forms a driving connection with the rotor of the second generator 15.

[0035] The second branch airflow branched off from the three-way node 4 flows into the inlet of the ammonia channel 7a of the second heat exchanger 7 and flows out from its outlet; in the ammonia channel 7a of the second heat exchanger 7, the ammonia flow is heated by the gas material in the exhaust channel 7b from the second heat exchanger 7, and the temperature, volume and flow rate are further increased.

The exhaust gas contains substandard emissions, such as NOx, which can be further treated by SCR and other means.

[0036] The ammonia gas flowing out of the third turbine 14 is cooled by the ammonia cooling channel 16a of the cooling device 16, and flows into the ammonia compressor 17 after flowing out of the cooling device.

[0037] The process conditions of the system of the present invention in a continuous working state are as follows:

[0038] The ammonia decomposition reactor 5 adopts a fixed bed reactor technology route, that is, in the reaction channel 5a, the ammonia decomposition reaction catalyst is filled in the reaction channel 5a in the form of a fixed bed layer, and the catalyst temperature in the reaction channel 5a is mainly controlled by heating the flue gas entering the flue gas channel 5b; wherein the ammonia decomposition reaction catalyst is preferably an iron-based catalyst or a ruthenium-based catalyst, or a mixture of the two types of catalysts; after the ammonia decomposition reactor 5 runs smoothly, the reaction conditions are as follows: the reaction temperature is 350-850°C, preferably 450-580°C; the space velocity of ammonia in the reaction channel 5a is 1000-30000h -1 , preferably 5000~12000h -1 The mass flow rate of ammonia entering the ammonia decomposition reactor 5 can be calculated from the filling amount of the catalyst and the target space velocity; the gas pressure in the reaction channel 5a is between 0.06 and 1.8 MPa; after the ammonia flows through the ammonia decomposition catalyst, it is converted into decomposition products to obtain hydrogen and nitrogen, wherein the conversion rate of ammonia is greater than 98.0%.

[0039] The burner 6 contains an ignition device. Under the appropriate fuel flow rate and air flow rate, after successful ignition and stable operation of the system, the flow rate of compressed air is 1 to 40 times the flow rate of ammonia flowing into the ammonia decomposition reactor; whether the combustion state meets the process conditions is judged by whether the outlet gas temperature of the burner is continuously not less than 750°C. The compression ratio of the second compressor 8 to the first compressor 10 is between 1.5 and 15; the ratio of the ammonia mass flow rate of the two tributaries flowing out of the three-way node 4 is defined by the ratio of the ammonia flow rate flowing to the ammonia decomposition reactor 5 / the ammonia flow rate flowing to the second heat exchanger 7, and the preferred ratio is 1:3 to 3:1.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention further provides a starting device in the system, and the starting device includes an air compressor 18 and a fuel gas cylinder 19, which are respectively connected to the combustion chamber of the burner 6 through pipelines. When the system is in a stopped state and needs to be cold-started, or the standby state needs to be changed to a normal operating state, it is necessary to operate the starting device so that the system first reaches the normal operating conditions and then close the starting device. The specific operation method is as follows:

[0041] The air compressor 18 is turned on, and the air compressor 18 provides air to flow into the burner 6. The fuel gas cylinder 19 provides fuel gas to flow into the burner 6 for combustion. After the outlet gas temperature of the burner reaches the target process value, the second turbine 9 and the first turbine 11 start to rotate; when the temperature in the reaction channel 5a in the ammonia decomposition reactor 5 reaches the process value, the delivery pump 2 is started to make the liquid ammonia flow out from the liquid ammonia storage tank 1 and further flow to the ammonia decomposition reactor 5; when it is detected that the outlet air flow rate of the first compressor 10 reaches the process value, the air compressor 18 is turned off or disconnected from the system; when it is detected that the product gas flow flowing out of the reaction channel 5a reaches the process value, the fuel gas cylinder 19 is turned off or disconnected from the system; thereafter, the system can maintain continuous operation, and the first generator 12 and the second generator 15 can continuously output electrical energy; the fuel in the fuel gas cylinder 19 includes but is not limited to natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, methane, ethane, propane, butane, ammonia, hydrogen or a mixed gas containing hydrogen, and a mixture of the above fuel gases.

[0042] The liquid ammonia storage tank 1 used in the present invention can be a storage tank or a combination of two or more tanks. It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the temperature and pressure of the gas sucked from the environment by the second compressor 8 are determined by the specific working environment of the equipment. Normal pressure and normal temperature only represent the conditions under common ground environments, not all possible conditions. The descriptions of normal pressure, high pressure, etc. in the present invention are mainly to illustrate the process effect achieved by the equipment, rather than to limit the working conditions.

[0043] In addition, the implementation methods of the heat exchanger and the cooling device are flexible and diverse. They all have two channels, each channel has one or more inlets and one or more outlets. The fluid materials in the two channels are not connected to each other, but heat exchange can be carried out through the wall of the device, thereby achieving energy optimization or obtaining the target process temperature.

[0044] Anything not described in the present invention is applicable to the prior art.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. However, the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
