Abstract Scope |
Hydrogen use in power generating equipment such as gas turbines or internal combustion engines, traditionally fueled by natural gas, promises to reduce the generation of CO2. The fraction of hydrogen in the fuel mixture has a significant impact on the overall combustion characteristics and can pose unique operational challenges such as flashback in gas turbines and knocking in IC engines. Design and optimization of such power generation equipment fueled by NG-H2 blends present unique challenges on account of the large design space and conflicting constraints. We present the development of a massively parallel framework for generating data needed for AI-based models. Open-source code Cantera was used to generate over 16000 data points predicting ignition delay, flame-speed, burned gas temperatures and/or emissions over a range of conditions relevant to the operation of engines/gas turbines to generate a fast-running ROM. We will discuss current applications and possible future work. |
