Project description
Scalable decarbonisation package for cogeneration plants
The green transition has led to the increasing adoption and integration of various green technologies, ranging from renewable energy to hydrogen solutions. Cogeneration plants have also gained significance by using green technologies to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. The EU-funded HyCoFlex project aims to develop a retrofittable decarbonisation package that enables industrial heat and power cogeneration using 100 % H2-fired gas turbines. This project will build on the power-to-hydrogen-to-power industrial-scale plant infrastructure developed and demonstrated by the HYFLEXPOWER project. It will also establish protocols and pathways to scale up and replicate their package, implement 100 % H2-fuelled cogeneration, and accelerate the decarbonisation of the associated sectors.
Objective
HyCoFlex is aiming at the development of a retrofitable decarbonisation package for cogeneration of power and industrial heat with 100%-fired gas turbines. The solution will be integrated and fully demonstrated at an industrial site in Saillat-sur-Vienne in France. HyCoFlex will leverage on and further advance the infrastructure of a power-to-hydrogen-to-power industrial scale plant which was developed and demonstrated within the HYFLEXPOWER project. The project will develop operational flexibility capabilities and protocols to satisfy the typical operating profiles experienced by industrial cogeneration plants. By doing so, HyCoFlex will elaborate credible pathways for upscaling and replicating the retrofit package, ultimately accelerating the achievement of industrial and energy sector decarbonisation. In order to meet the global objective, within the HyCoFlex project, the HYFLEXPOWER plant concept and infrastructure will be implemented for 100% H2-fuelled cogeneration. In the framework of the project a Siemens Energy SGT-400 gas turbine will be upgraded with an advanced dry low-emission (DLE) H2 combustion system to operate with different natural gas / H2 fuel mixtures. The retrofitted demonstrator plant will be validated for flexible operation under various natural gas/hydrogen mixtures and loads, while aiming at overcoming state-of-the-art efficiencies with decreased NOx emissions. Finally, HyCoFlex will explore pathways for upscaling and commercialization of decarbonised power generation from gas turbines within a circular-economy framework.
