Qi Yinke Published A Paper in An International Top Journal Energy

Recently, Qi Yinke of class 2018 from School of Energy and Power Engineering published a paper titled “Energy and Exergy Analysis of Supercritical/Transcritical CO2 Cycles for Water Injected Hydrogen Gas Turbine”in an top journal: Energy (IF：8.857). Qi Yinke was the first author; USST was the first unit; Professor Huang Diangui was the corresponding author.
In the field of energy, gas turbine enjoys the advantages of small footprint, good reliability, high efficiency, quick start and stop, etc. As a distributed energy, it can realize the cascade utilization of energy through the triple supply of cold, heat and power, and a modern energy supply method that can be realized near the load center. Under the "dual carbon" goal, as an important support for the future new power system, gas turbine power generation will become increasingly important, while the traditional gas turbine power generation is dominated by fossil fuels such as high-emission natural gas. Therefore, how to balance carbon reduction and economic development through energy technology innovation has become an urgent problem for China's energy transformation.
Against this context, the paper selects green, clean, high-energy, sustainable hydrogen as the fuel of gas turbine, and blends water into the combustion process to reduce the combustion temperature, so as to achieve low-emission and near-zero of nitrogen oxides. At the same time, supercritical and trans-critical carbon dioxide cycles are established at the outlet of gas turbine to absorb the heat of exhaust gas, so as to realize the cascade utilization of energy. Thus, a combined cycle system with zero carbon dioxide emissions, low pollution, high efficiency, low cost and other advantages is also established.
Under the guidance of Professor Huang Diangui, she also published a paper titled “Investigation on Aerodynamic Performance of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine by Setting Micro-plate in Front of the Blade Leading Edge”in the international journal Renewable Energy as the first author. Qi’s graduate paper also won the one of the Best 100 Outstanding Bachelor’s Papers about energy and engineering. At present, she has been recommended to further doctor’s degree at Tsinghua University.
