讲座内容

The advancement of marine power plants involves improving their efficiency and significantly reducing pollutant emissions, which necessitates a transition to carbon-free fuels. This chapter explores the development of a marine energy system tailored for decarbonization using hydrocarbon feedstocks and ammonia, integrating solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with a gas turbine. Theoretical studies were conducted to evaluate the potential of hybrid SOFC–gas turbine (SOFC-GT) systems for marine power applications. Currently, the full potential of these systems remains unrealized due to challenges such as the insufficient reliability and durability of SOFCs, as well as inefficiencies in heat recovery processes within the gas turbine section of the power plant. Unlike previous research, this study highlights the feasibility of employing a steam-injected gas turbine (STIG) cycle and an overexpanded turbine to optimize exhaust gas heat recovery from fuel cells, enhance overall system efficiency, and extend the lifespan of critical components. To support this approach, a comprehensive mathematical model was developed, accompanied by optimization calculations for the proposed cycles. Key parameters, such as compressor and expander pressure ratios, were identified as pivotal for increasing specific power output. Implementation of the proposed STIG cycle with overexpanded gas turbine led to a 4.4% improvement in system efficiency compared to conventional configurations. Furthermore, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to analyze the combustion of SOFC off-gas in various afterburner designs. The aerodynamic characteristics of chemically reactive flows were examined, along with the formation mechanisms of toxic components during the combustion of low-heating-value SOFC off-gas. The proposed systems demonstrate significant potential for incorporation into the design of next-generation marine power plants, offering a pathway toward cleaner and more efficient maritime energy solutions.
