- Although lean premixed mode combustors can deliver lower NOx emissions, they require a deep understanding of combustion stability so that this complex regime can be controlled effectively. This paper is significant because it is the first comprehensive analysis of the effect of fuel composition on premixed gas turbine combustion, with a particular emphasis on system stability and emissions, for hydrogen-rich synthetic gas (syngas) mixtures. This work enables the wider use of hydrogen blends and syngas in combined cycle power plants, as an alternative to standard natural gas. This research underpinned a successful grant EPSRC application (EP/P012744/1) with MIT (USA).
