Abstract

In the process of vaporizing water within the biogas-driven CCHP system based on chemical recuperation, a significant temperature disparity in heat transfer exists, leading to increased irreversible loss, and the methane conversion rate is low because the gas turbine exhaust gas is difficult to drive efficient methane conversion. This paper proposed a novel biogas-driven CCHP system based on chemical reinjection. Through the reinjection of a portion of the exhaust gas into the reactor, a self-thermal reforming reaction process is engineered, leading to a substantial enhancement in methane conversion rate. The heat matching of the heat exchange unit is optimized by the reheat air, and the power generation and cooling capacity of the system are improved. Notably, the electricity and cooling generation of the new system increased by 55.52 kW (6.20 %) and 542.49 kW (101.49 %), respectively, while the exergy efficiency increased by 8.31 %. The study delves into the influence of key parameters on the system thermal performance. During the reforming process, the exhaust gas split ratio has a significant impact on carbon deposition and methane conversion. When the methane is nearly completely converted, there is no significant change in electricity generation of the system. Excessive turbine inlet temperature is found to be unfavorable for improving the exergy efficiency of the new system from a holistic system perspective. Finally, a comprehensive comparison of the thermal performance between the new system and the reference system is conducted under various ambient temperatures. This study offer a new design scheme for the efficient utilization of biogas.
