Method of generating power using a combined cycle
This application is a divisional application of Australian patent application number 2016353483 filed on 10 November 2016, whose specification as originally filed is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The present invention relates to method and system for generating power using a combined cycle, in particular a combined cycle in which an organic Rankine cycle is used as second power system. Power plants, such as gas turbines, produce power by combusting fuel. The power is usually produced in the form of electricity. This is usually referred to as the first (power) system. In order to increase the efficiency of power plants, it is known to add a waste heat recovery system (the second (power) system) to generate additional power from the hot flue gasses produced by the first system. The combination of the first and second system is usually referred to as a combined cycle. Often the first system is a gas turbine operated by a Brayton cycle and the second system is a Rankine cycle, such as an organic Rankine cycle (ORC). It is known to use water/steam as working fluid for the Rankine cycle. However, the use of water introduces corrosion risks and necessitates anti-corrosion measures. The flue gasses produced by a gas turbine may typically have a temperature greater than 4500C, e.g. in the range of 4500C - 6500C.
Commercial available organic Rankine cycles are typically made for situations with the source heat temperatures in the range of 2500C - 3000C. At higher temperatures, the stability and operability of available organic Rankine cycle working fluids become an issue. Commercial available organic Rankine cycles therefore require an intermediate hot oil loop in order to avoid direct heat exchange between the working fluid and the turbine flue gasses. This reduces their efficiency, increases cost, and ultimately reduces their returns on investment. US2013/0133868 describes a system for power generation using an organic Rankine cycle. A number of possible ORC fluids are mentioned, comprising pentane, propane, cyclohexane, cyclopentane, butane, fluorohydrocarbon, a ketone such as aceton or an aromatic such as toluene or thiophene. US2005188697 describes the use of organic working fluids in Rankine cycles including polyfluorinated ethers and polyfluorinated ketones and mixtures thereof. EP1764487 disclose the use of organic working fluids for use in an organic Rankine cycle for energy recovery, especially for utilization of heat sources having a temperature up to approx. 2000C, preferably up to approx. 1800C. US2011/0100009 describes a system and method including heat exchangers using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) fluids in power generation systems. The system includes a heat exchanger configured to be mounted inside an exhaust stack that guides hot flue gases. The heat exchanger is configured to receive a liquid stream of a first fluid and to generate a vapor stream of the first fluid. The heat exchanger is configured to include a double walled pipe, where the first fluid is disposed within an inner wall of the double walled pipe and a second fluid is disposed between the inner wall and an outer wall of the double walled pipe. The double walled pipe is used to shield the working fluid from direct exposure to the high temperature of the flue gasses and suggests to keep the temperature of the working fluid below
3000C. Other examples of waste heat recovery are provided by
US2013/0152576, W02013/103447 and EP2532845.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome or
ameliorate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior
art, or to provide a useful alternative.
Therefore there is provided a method of generating
power using a combined cycle, the method comprising:
- operating a first power system in which fuel is
burned to generate primary power and a flue gas stream at a
flue gas temperature greater than 4500C,
- operating a second power system to generate secondary
power from the heat comprised by the flue gas stream, the
second power system comprising a waste heat recovery heat
exchanger,
the method further comprising:
- passing the flue gas stream through the waste heat
recovery heat exchanger,
- passing a pressurized waste heat recovery fluid
through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger to receive
heat from the flue gas stream thereby obtaining a
pressurized vaporous waste heat recovery fluid having a
temperature in the range of 3500C - 5000C,
wherein the waste heat recovery fluid consists of
fluorinated ketones.
Further provided is a system for generating power, the
system comprises:
- a first power system comprising a fuel burning stage
arranged to burn fuel to generate primary power and a flue
gas stream at a flue gas temperature greater than 4500C,
- a second power system arranged to generate secondary
power from the heat comprised by the flue gas stream, the second power system comprising a waste heat recovery heat exchanger and a waste heat recovery fluid, wherein the waste heat recovery heat exchanger comprises a first fluid path arranged to receive and convey at least part of the flue gas stream, and a second fluid path arranged to receive and convey the waste heat recovery fluid, the first and second fluid paths being separated by a heat exchange wall, the heat exchange wall being suitable to to be exposed to the flue gas stream at a flue gas temperature in the range of 4500C - 6500C, and the heat exchange wall being suitable to to be exposed to the waste heat recovery fluid at a temperature in the range of 350°C - 5000C, wherein the working fluid comprised by the second power system consists of fluorinated ketones. The waste heat recovery fluid is temperature stable up to a temperature of 5000C. The term temperature stable is used to indicate that the molecules don't decompose under the influence of the temperature. The waste heat recovery fluid substantially consists of fluorinated ketones, preferably consists of fluorinated ketones with 4 - 6 carbon atoms of which 4 - 6 are fluorinated carbon atoms. Most preferably the waste heat recovery fluid substantially consists of dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one. Preferably the waste heat recovery fluid comprises more than 90 mol% dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one, preferably more than 95 mol% dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one, more preferably more than 98 mol% dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3 one and most preferably 100 mol% dodecafluoro-2 methylpentan-3-one. The waste heat recovery fluid may be essentially pure dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one, where the skilled person will understand that the term pure is used to indicate a level of purity that is practically achievable, e.g. a purity of more than 99 mol%. For instance, the waste heat recovery fluid essentially consisting of pure dodecafluoro 2-methylpentan-3-one may be obtained from 3M at a purity of more than 99 mol%. Fluorinated ketones, in particular dodecafluoro-2 methylpentan-3-one, can advantageous be used as waste heat recovery fluid, for instance in a Rankine cycle, as it can be exposed to temperatures above 450°C. This way, an intermediate working fluid, such as an intermediate hot oil loop, could be omitted and direct heat exchange between the flue gasses and the working fluid is made possible. This reduces cost and increases the efficiency of the cycle. Alternatively, fluorinated ketones, in particular dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one, may also be used in an intermediate loop. The term direct heat exchange is used in this text to indicate that the exchange of heat takes place without intermediate fluid or cycles. The term direct heat exchange is not used to indicate that the fluids exchanging heat are mixed or brought into contact as is done in a direct heat exchanger (in which the fluids to exchange heat are mixed). Heat exchange between the waste heat recovery fluid and the flue gas stream is typically done by an indirect heat exchanger in which the fluids are kept separated by a heat exchange wall through which the heat is transmitted. It is discovered that a waste heat recovery fluid as defined above, in particular consisting of dodecafluoro-2 methylpentan-3-one, is stable at relatively high temperatures, i.e. in the range of 350-500°C. This avoids degradation of circulating fluids.
Also it is discovered that the above identified waste
heat exchange fluid produces power (mechanical work) in a
relatively efficient way, i.e. at a 9-11% efficiency from a
flue gas stream in the indicated temperature range (compared
to 6 - 9% when using water).
Furthermore, the suggested waste heat recovery fluid is
non-corrosive to all metals and hard polymers.
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the waste heat
recovery fluid is low, compared to known waste heat
recovery fluids, such as chlorofluorocarbon (CFC, also
known as Freon), due to the ozone depletion potential.
Further advantages and details of the present invention
will become apparent with the benefit of the following
detailed description of embodiments and upon reference to
the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 schematically shows a system according to an
embodiment, and
Figure 2 schematically shows an system according to an
alternative embodiment.
While the invention is susceptible to various
modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments
thereof are shown by way of example in the figures and will
herein be described in detail. It should be understood that
the figures and detailed description thereto are not
intended to limit the invention to the particular form
disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover
all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling
within the scope as defined by the appended claims.
Further, although the invention will be described in
terms of specific embodiments, it will be understood that
various elements of the specific embodiments of the
invention will be applicable to all embodiments disclosed
herein.
According to the embodiments a method and system is provided in which a first and second power system are operated, wherein the second power system is powered by the heat of the flue gas stream of the first power system. The second power system comprises a waste heat recovery heat exchanger through which a pressurized waste heat recovery fluid is circulated, wherein the waste heat recovery fluid comprises fluorinated ketones, in particular dodecafluoro-2 methylpentan-3-one. According to an embodiment, the first power system comprises a gas turbine operated by a Brayton cycle. The flue gass stream produced by such a first power system typically have a temperature greater than 4500C, typically in the range of 4500C - 6500C
According to an embodiment operating the second power system comprises circulating a working fluid through a heat engine cycle, in particular a Rankine cycle. Rankine cycles are an efficient way to transform heat into power. The waste heat recovery fluid may be circulated through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger as part of an intermediate heat transfer cycle. This embodiment will be described in more detail below with reference to Fig. 2. According to an embodiment the working fluid circulated through the heat engine cycle is the waste heat recovery fluid. In such an embodiment, the waste heat recovery heat exchanger is part of the heat engine cycle. The above identified waste heat recovery fluid is suitable for being cycled through a waste heat recovery heat exchanger which is exposed to a flue gas stream at a flue gas temperature greater than 4500C.
According to an embodiment, the pressurized vaporous waste heat recovery fluid as obtained from the waste heat recovery heat exchanger has a temperature in the range of 3500C - 5000C, preferably in the range of 4500C - 5000C. The waste heat recovery fluid is stable up to temperatures in the range of 4000C - 5000C and can therefor advantageous be used in an organic Rankine cycle.
According to an embodiment the heat engine cycle
comprises a condenser in which the waste heat recovery fluid
is condensed against an ambient cooling stream, the ambient
cooling stream being an ambient air stream or an ambient
(sea) water stream. The working fluid may be cooled to a
temperature in the range 150C - 800C in the condenser.
The waste heat recovery fluid can be used in a cycle in
which it experiences a temperature difference of more than
3200C, even more than 4000C or even more than 4500C. This
allows cooling the waste heat recovery fluid against the
ambient and heating the waste heat recovery fluid against a
flue gas stream having a temperature greater than 450°C.
According to an embodiment operating the second power
system comprises circulating the waste heat recovery fluid
as working fluid through a heat engine, such as a Rankine
cycle. The Rankine cycle comprises the following steps,
which are performed simultaneously:
1) Passing the pressurized waste heat recovery fluid
through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger to receive
heat from the flue gas stream thereby obtaining a
pressurized vaporous waste heat recovery fluid. The
pressurized vaporous waste heat recovery fluid may have a
temperature in the range of 3500C - 5000C and pressure of
more than 40 bar, e.g. 50 bar.
2) Expanding the pressurized vaporous waste heat
recovery fluid over a (turbo-) expander, thereby obtaining
the secondary power and an expanded lower pressure vaporous
waste heat recovery fluid. The expanded lower pressure
vaporous waste heat recovery fluid may have a pressure of
less than 3 bar, e.g. 1 bar and the temperature between 500C
- 1500C, e.g. 1000C.
3) Passing the expanded lower pressure vaporous waste
heat recovery fluid through a condenser to obtain a liquid
waste heat recovery fluid. The liquid waste heat recovery
fluid may have a pressure of less than 3 bar, e.g. 1 bar and
a temperature between 150C - 1000C, e.g. 50°C.
4) Passing the liquid waste heat recovery fluid through
a pump to obtain the pressurized liquid waste heat recovery
fluid. The pressurized liquid waste heat recovery fluid may
have a pressure of more than 40 bar, e.g. 50 bar and
temperature in the range of 150C - 100°C.

exchanger, wherein the first fluid path is at the shell side
and the second fluid path is at the tube side.

that more than one tube may be present, each tube wall
forming a heat exchange wall.
Preferably, for any type of waste heat recovery heat
exchanger 21, the heat exchange wall is a single layer wall.
The heat exchange does not comprise internal cooling
facilities, intermediate isolation layers, double walls and
the like.

comprising waste heat recovery heat exchanger 21, (turbo-)
expander 23, condenser 25 and pump 27, being in fluid
communication with each other by conduits 22, 24, 26, 28.

fluid communication with an inlet of expander 23 via first
conduit 22; an outlet of the expander 23 is in fluid
communication with an inlet of condenser 25 via second conduit 24; an outlet of the condenser 25 is in fluid communication with an inlet of pump 27 via third conduit 26; an outlet of the pump is in fluid communication with an inlet of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 21 via fourth conduit 28.
The condenser 25 comprises an ambient inlet to receive
an ambient cooling stream 41 and an ambient outlet to
discharge a warmed ambient cooling stream 42.
In use, the first power system 1 generates primary
power and flue gas stream 16, while the second power system
2 cycles the waste heat recovery fluid as working fluid
through the above described Rankine cycle. The expander 23
drives drive shaft 29 which is coupled to a secondary
generator 30, such as an electric generator, to generate
secondary power.
Fig. 2 schematically shows an alternative embodiment
wherein the waste heat recovery fluid is not used as working
fluid in a heat engine, but is used in an intermediate loop
3 to transfer heat from the waste heat recovery heat
exchanger 21 to a heat engine wherein a different fluid is
circulated as working fluid, such as water/steam. The second
power system 2 comprises the heat engine and the
intermediate loop 3.
According to this embodiment operating the second power
system 2 comprises circulating the waste heat recovery fluid
(consisting of fluorinated ketones, in particular consisting
of dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one) through the
intermediate loop 3 and circulating a working fluid through
a heat engine, such as a Rankine cycle, to generate the
secondary power, the heat engine comprising a heat source
heat exchanger 42 and a heat sink heat exchanger 25, wherein

recovery heat exchanger 21,

In use, the first power system 1 generates primary power and flue gas stream 16, while the second power system 2 cycles the waste heat recovery fluid through the above described intermediate loop 3 transferring heat from the flue gas stream 16 to the heat engine via heast source heat exchanger 42. In the heat engine, a working fluid is circulated, driving expander 23, which drives drive shaft 29 coupled to a secondary generator 30, such as an electric generator, to generate secondary power.
Simulation results Simulation experiments have been performed using UniSim Design software. In the simulation the embodiment as shown in Fig. 1 has been simulated with a waste heat recovery fluid comprising 100 mol% dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one and has been compared to a similar embodiment in which the waste heat recovery fluid comprises 100 mol% water. The following parameters were used
Ambient temperature [K] 298.15 Ambient pressure [kPa] 101.325 Turboexpander efficiency [%] 85 Pump efficiency [%] 85 Heat Source Temperature [K] 686.15
Turboexpander Inlet Pressure 25 bar Pressure ratio 25
Efficiency rmWHR of the second power system is computed as the ratio of net power generated to the total amount of heat available with the exhaust gas:
rWHR = mf (WTE - Wpump) / (mexhaustCpexhaust(Tiexhaust - Tambient),
wherein
mfis the mass flow of the waste heat recovery fluid as
working fluid,
WTE is the work done by turbo-expander 23,
Wpap is work done by pump 27,
Mexhaust is the mass flow of the flue gas stream 16, Cpexhaust is heat capacity of flue gas stream 16, Tinexhaust is the temperature of the flue gas stream 16,
and
Taibient is the ambient temperature.
Above parameters were either taken from the table above or resulted from the simulations. The simulations showed that the efficiency of 100 mol% water was found to be 7.50%, while the efficiency of 100 mol% dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one was found to be 10.68%. Using dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one thus resulted in an increase in efficiency of 42%. The person skilled in the art will readily understand that many modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
