General Scheme
UHPP concept is a novel thermal power generation system with innovation in Combustor
and Power Conversion Units (PCUs) to deliver high efficiency electrical power :
Main sources for the commercial
production of hydrogen:
 Natural gas (48%)
 Oil (30%)
 Coal (18%)
 Electrolysis (4%)

Concept Benefits
*
1.
Ultrahigh- efficiency and novel power generation system, with efficiency up to 20% more
compared with existing solutions.
* Patentstyret (Norwegian Industrial Property Office)
2.
Utilizing the extremely High Temperature Steam (HTS) leaving the combustor, in an
associated H2 Production Plant or other neighbor process facilities to improve the overall
efficiency more than 80%.
1.
Using of the hydrogen produced from fossil fuels (96% of the total hydrogen production)
2.
Flexible in type of fuels (Hydrogen, Natural / Fuel Gas, etc.).
3.
UHPP, Pre-Combustion Carbone Capturing / CO2 free power generation
4.
UHPP, No liquefaction, storage and transportation requirements for H2 feed.
5.
Suitable for both onshore and offshore.
6.
Recently, under study for ship propulsion applications

Thermodynamic Modeling and Simulation
Where:
 λ is excess air factor
 n is:
 0.0, in case pure O2 is used for the combustion
 0 < n < 3.76, when the inlet air is enriched with O2
 n = 3.76, in case H2 combustion is with pure air
