In recent times, the adoption of hydrogen has emerged as a promising frontier in gas turbine technology, offering a pathway to a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape. Yet, the integration of hydrogen presents a set of challenges and considerations due to its distinct combustion properties compared to conventional fossil fuels. This project focuses on developing a numerical platform to assess the performance and efficiency of hydrogen-fueled gas turbines. The economic viability, and the evolution of commercially viable hydrogen gas turbine systems will also be analysed as part of this project . The project will take into account hydrogen's unique combustion characteristics which affects combustion stability, flame dynamics, and the overall combustion process within gas turbines. The project also aims to address the challenges associated with commercial hydrogen gas turbines.
