Influence of Hydrogen in Fuel Gas on the Processes in Gas Turbine Combustion Chambers (Review)

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

This paper presents a review of studies on the effect of hydrogen in fuel gas on the processes occurring in low-emission combustion chambers (LECC) of gas turbine electric power plants (GTPP). This study analyzes the influence of the hydrogen fraction and the quality of the resulting air-fuel mixture on the laminar flame propagation velocity, shape of the stabilized flame, pressure loss in the fuel lines, lean flameout boundary, and flashback velocity into the premixing zone. This article provides the results of experimental studies on the effect of hydrogen content in the fuel on the boundaries of stable, pulsationless combustion in LECC and evaluates the possibility of using the Wobbe index as a criterion for the applicability of hydrogen-containing fuel gas in a burner designed for other gaseous fuels without upgrading its geometry.
