Comparative assessment of the parameters of the gas turbine on biohydrogen and biogaz
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.03.010-026
Abstract
The energy industry is the most important industry, the achievement of development goals in which leads to the country’s economic independence. Fossil fuel is used as the main source of energy. The burning of traditional fuels has a negative impact on the environment. At the moment, the use of alternative fuels in the energy sector is a promising direction. The use of biogas and biohydrogen is a potential replacement for traditional fuels in regions with a lack of electricity. An alternative gaseous fuel can be obtained from various organic raw materials (waste of animal and plant origin, such as cow manure, chicken droppings, corn silage, straw, lusk). Getting biofuels will allow you to build new energy systems that will generate electric and thermal energy from organic waste. In this study, the work of the GTU on various biofuels is considered with an assessment of performance indicators and emissions into the environment. To simulate the operation of the gas turbine installation, a mathematical model of the gas turbine engine was created in the GRAT AC software complex, and the mathematical model was identified.
