【 摘 要 】

The modern power generation solutions focus on several key factors: economy, efficiency, reliability as well as environmental impact. The natural way to protect environment and secure project feasibility is to move from more and more expensive conventional fuels like oil, coal and natural gas towards unconventional and more environment friendly fuels. That group includes many fuels that are currently mainly disposed without usage which means creating direct pollution without any direct value. The main problem is that there are many problems with such fuels and practical usage requires lot of investments and operational costs. The innovative fuel supply system HE-MUZG designed for 4-stroke gas engine developed together by Horus-Energia and Cracow University of Technology enables wide range of gas fuels to be used for power generation. This paper will present results from operational tests of the HE-MUZG system installed on gas genset. The test program covered many various fuels, which are problematic for typical modern gas engines, due to fuel low calorific value, low methane number or wide and rapid fluctuations of fuel properties. The presented results show main achievements obtained during HE-MUZG system development. Additionally the article describes some engine modifications implemented to optimise engine operation and to improve the efficiency.
