Abstract:
Aiming to reduce carbon emissions for environmental sustainability, hydrogen-blended combustion has emerged as a pivotal advancement in gas turbine technology. Focusing on the hydrogen-blended natural gas combustion characteristics, comprehensive full-temperature, full-pressure, and full-scale combustion tests with a hydrogen-enriched ratio were conducted on an independently developed DeNO
x burner of F-class heavy-duty gas turbine. The burner’s adaptability to hydrogen-blended combustion was analyzed based on performance parameters such as temperature, emissions, humming, and acceleration. Results show that within a hydrogen blending range of 30% to 40%, the NO
x emissions from this burner can be controlled below 30 mg/m~3 across the base load range of 55% to 100%. As the hydrogen blending ratio increases, flame transition occurs at a lower load, which is conducive to stable load increases. Furthermore, the outlet temperature of the burner rises, but no flashback occurs.
