Abstract

Micro gas turbine (MGT) is one of the main candidates for green distributed cogeneration since it allows the utilization of wider range of renewable fuel sources. A new chamber geometry was designed and optimized for liquid biofuels combustion. Prior to the testing of the chamber, a cold-flow fuel atomization test rig was tested with different fuel injector sizes covering flow range of 50–200 ml/min. Spray characteristics of palm biodiesel were investigated and compared to diesel as the benchmark. The chamber was then tested with diesel fuel followed by biodiesel in a single-stage MGT configuration. Turbine inlet temperature (TIT) was limited below 900 °C to avoid damaging turbine blades, thus, limiting the operating gauge pressure below 0.6 bar. A Power turbine with high-speed alternator and heat recovery unit (HRU) were then added to the test rig in a combined heat and power (CHP) configuration. The lab-scale MGT-CHP system was fully characterized in the pressure range of 0.1–0.4 bar and achieved overall efficiency of 24.7% and total NOx emissions range of 22–70 ppm with palm biodiesel.
