Abstract
This study evaluates the feasibility of using pure hydrogen as fuel for the MS5002C gas turbine at the Hassi R'mel gas site in Algeria. THERMOPTIM software was used to analyze key parameters, including compression ratio, excess air (λ), and climatic conditions, identifying an optimal excess air of 4.5. This configuration was validated over a year under local climatic conditions. The results indicate that at a harsh temperature of 50 °C, the hydrogen-fueled gas turbine increased thermal efficiency by 3.66% and power output by 6.18%, while reducing fuel consumption by 62% compared to an optimized natural gas turbine. Hydrogen use eliminated carbon emissions but caused a slight 1.17% increase in NOx emissions. Under reel climatic conditions, hydrogen fuel eliminated carbon footprint and mitigated the adverse effect of harsh climate on turbine performance, with a peak NOx emission of 1.891 ppm in August.
