瓦斯是與煤炭共生的優質潔凈能源，其主要成分是CH4，但它又是一種溫室氣體，其溫室效應是CO2的21倍．國際清潔能源組織要求各國盡可能地減少瓦斯向大氣中的排放．瓦斯發電技術作為新能源發電技術，將煤礦未能利用的瓦斯燃燒轉化成電能。瓦斯發電技術都是采用小型發電機組，常用的有燃氣輪機機組和內燃機發電機組，它采用小型燃氣能源轉換裝置和煙氣回熱技術，在提高燃氣燃燒效率的同時，降低各環節的能源損耗，從而實現能源利用效能的最優化。

　　Gas is a high-quality clean energy source that coexists with coal. Its main component is CH4, but it is also a greenhouse gas with a greenhouse effect 21 times that of CO2. The International Clean Energy Organization requires countries to minimize the emission of gas into the atmosphere as much as possible. Gas power generation technology, as a new energy generation technology, converts the unused gas in coal mines into electricity through combustion. Gas power generation technology uses small generator sets, commonly including gas turbine units and internal combustion engine generator sets. It adopts small gas energy conversion devices and flue gas reheating technology to improve gas combustion efficiency while reducing energy losses in various links, thereby achieving optimal energy utilization efficiency.

　　瓦斯熱電聯產是分布式能源的一種典型應用，將用戶的電力、采暖、供熱等多種需求整合在一起，進行協調優化，將發電后的余熱用于采暖或余熱發電，再將采暖后或余熱發電后的余熱用于解決熱水的供應，這不僅緩解了電力的緊張，也合理利用了燃氣資源，又降低了瓦斯氣對空氣的污染。

　　Gas cogeneration is a typical application of distributed energy, which integrates users' various needs such as electricity, heating, and heating, coordinates and optimizes them, and uses the waste heat generated after power generation for heating or waste heat power generation, and then uses the waste heat generated after heating or waste heat power generation to solve the problem of hot water supply. This not only alleviates the shortage of electricity, but also makes reasonable use of gas resources and reduces the pollution of gas to the air.

　　目前，瓦斯發電技術不斷地發展，著力于降低發電成本，增強發電的穩定性，從而可使瓦斯發電能夠更高效、穩定地運行。1、瓦斯特性及其發電技術1.1瓦斯特性煤礦瓦斯是指儲集在煤層中的一種非常規天然氣體，是在煤礦采煤過程中散發出來的一種有害氣體，無色、無味、易燃、易爆．它的主要成分是甲烷，當空氣中甲烷的濃度達到5％～15％時，遇明火就極易發生爆炸。

　　At present, gas power generation technology is constantly developing, focusing on reducing power generation costs and enhancing power generation stability, so as to enable gas power generation to operate more efficiently and stably. 1. Gas Characteristics and Power Generation Technology 1.1 Gas Characteristics Coal mine gas refers to an unconventional natural gas stored in coal seams, which is a harmful gas emitted during coal mining. It is colorless, odorless, flammable, and explosive. Its main component is methane. When the concentration of methane in the air reaches 5% to 15%, it is highly prone to explosion when exposed to open flames.

　　瓦斯是煤礦的“安全殺手”，但同時瓦斯也是一種具有較高利用價值的潔凈能源。我國煤層氣資源豐富，居世界第3位，每年在采煤的同時排放1.3×1010m3以上的瓦斯，約折合標準煤1.6×107t。過去除了少部分用于當地供暖外，瓦斯沒有其他的利用途徑，未能得到充分利用，抽放出的瓦斯絕大部分排入大氣，不但造成資源的浪費，還造成了大氣污染。

　　Gas is the "safety killer" of coal mines, but at the same time, gas is also a clean energy source with high utilization value. China has abundant coalbed methane resources, ranking third in the world. Every year, more than 1.3 × 1010m3 of gas is emitted during coal mining, which is equivalent to 1.6 × 107t of standard coal. In the past, apart from a small portion used for local heating, there were no other ways to fully utilize the gas, and the vast majority of the extracted gas was discharged into the atmosphere, causing not only waste of resources but also air pollution.

　　1.2瓦斯氣開采的3種發電利用方式

　　1.2 Three power generation utilization methods for gas extraction

　　1.2.1燃氣輪機瓦斯發電通過直接在煤層上鉆孔開采出的瓦斯氣，含有的甲烷濃度高達90％以上，與天然氣相似，危險系數相對較低。此類瓦斯氣可以加壓罐裝運輸，也可以遠距離管道輸送，因此多用于民用燃料(如天然氣汽車)和化工原料等。這類高濃度的瓦斯發電技術較容易控制，發電技術相對穩定，一般采用燃氣輪機發電。然而由于這類高濃度瓦斯相當寶貴，氣源也相對緊張。針對節能減排的瓦斯發電技術而言，這僅是瓦斯發電發展的最初階段。

　　1.2.1 Gas turbine gas power generation uses gas extracted directly from coal seams through drilling, which contains methane with a concentration of over 90%, similar to natural gas, and has a relatively low risk factor. This type of gas can be transported in pressurized cans or through long-distance pipelines, making it commonly used for civilian fuel (such as natural gas vehicles) and chemical raw materials. This type of high concentration gas power generation technology is relatively easy to control and stable, usually using gas turbines for power generation. However, due to the high concentration of such gas being quite valuable, the gas source is also relatively tight. For gas power generation technology aimed at energy conservation and emission reduction, this is only the initial stage of its development.

　　1.2.2內燃機瓦斯發電通過煤礦井下瓦斯抽放系統和地面輸送系統開采瓦斯。這類瓦斯一般是煤礦開采時的附屬氣體，其瓦斯濃度變化較大，約在3％～80％之間，氣體流量也不穩定。這類瓦斯是在煤礦采煤過程中通過負壓風機抽取到地面的，當瓦斯濃度較低而接近于瓦斯的爆炸濃度范圍(5％～15％)時，遇明火則容易爆炸。為了安全起見，這類瓦斯的利用需根據其濃度大小來確定。

　　1.2.2 Gas power generation using internal combustion engines is extracted through underground gas drainage systems and surface transportation systems in coal mines. This type of gas is generally an ancillary gas during coal mining, with a gas concentration that varies greatly, ranging from 3% to 80%, and the gas flow rate is also unstable. This type of gas is extracted to the ground through negative pressure fans during coal mining. When the gas concentration is low and close to the explosive concentration range of gas (5% to 15%), it is easy to explode when exposed to open flames. For safety reasons, the utilization of this type of gas needs to be determined based on its concentration.

　　在關于瓦斯氣的調研中，發現有些煤礦把濃度大于40％的高瓦斯無償供給當地居民使用或點燃排空，而濃度低于40％的瓦斯就直接排空或點燃排放。這類瓦斯的利用率較低，但卻有很高的發電利用價值，因此現階段大多是針對此類瓦斯的發電技術研究開發，是最可行的節能減排的瓦斯發電技術。目前，這類瓦斯發電技術只能把大于30％濃度的瓦斯用來發電．由于瓦斯爆炸濃度范圍的上限隨著瓦斯壓力的提高而升高，為了安全起見，煤礦抽放瓦斯發電常用燃氣內燃機發電工藝(要求供氣壓力不高于0.05MPa，爆炸濃度范圍上限大于15％)，而采用燃氣輪機發電工藝(要求供氣壓力大于0.7MPa，爆炸濃度范圍上限大于30％)。燃氣內燃發電機組通過將空氣和瓦斯的混合氣體加壓，電子點火爆燃做功，推動活塞移動，曲軸轉動帶動發電機發電，典型的抽放瓦斯燃氣內燃機發電工藝流程見圖1。1.2.3乏風瓦斯發電典型的乏風瓦斯發電工藝流程見圖2。

　　In the research on gas, it was found that some coal mines supply high gas with a concentration greater than 40% to local residents for free or ignite and discharge it, while gas with a concentration lower than 40% is directly discharged or ignited and discharged. The utilization rate of this type of gas is relatively low, but it has high value for power generation utilization. Therefore, at present, most of the research and development on power generation technology for this type of gas is focused on it, which is the most feasible energy-saving and emission reducing gas power generation technology. At present, this type of gas power generation technology can only use gas with a concentration greater than 30% for power generation. Due to the fact that the upper limit of gas explosion concentration range increases with the increase of gas pressure, for safety reasons, coal mine gas drainage power generation commonly uses gas internal combustion engine power generation technology (requiring a supply pressure not higher than 0.05 MPa and an upper limit of explosion concentration range greater than 15%), while using gas turbine power generation technology (requiring a supply pressure greater than 0.7 MPa and an upper limit of explosion concentration range greater than 30%). The gas internal combustion engine generator set generates electricity by pressurizing a mixture of air and gas, electronically igniting and detonating to work, pushing the piston to move, and the crankshaft to rotate and drive the generator. The typical process flow of gas extraction gas internal combustion engine power generation is shown in Figure 1. 1.2.3 The typical process flow of exhaust gas power generation is shown in Figure 2.

　　在煤炭開采過程中，為了保證礦工呼吸到新鮮空氣，必須向井下壓送潔凈空氣，而從井下通風排出來的廢氣則稱為乏風，其中含有微量的瓦斯，甲烷濃度一般低于1％，這部分瓦斯也會造成能源的浪費和對大氣環境的污染。煤礦乏風瓦斯發電是將瓦斯(甲烷)濃度大于0.2％的乏風送入氧化器進行無焰燃燒，通過瓦斯燃燒的能量來穩定燃燒過程，達到銷毀瓦斯的目的，同時可以利用換熱器吸收燃燒過程的余熱來制取蒸汽或熱水。蒸汽可以帶動汽輪機進行發電，熱水可以供熱或制冷。

　　In the process of coal mining, in order to ensure that miners breathe fresh air, clean air must be pressurized underground. The exhaust gas discharged from underground ventilation is called exhaust gas, which contains trace amounts of gas, with methane concentration generally below 1%. This gas can also cause energy waste and pollution to the atmospheric environment. Coal mine exhaust gas power generation is the process of sending exhaust gas (methane) with a concentration greater than 0.2% into an oxidizer for flameless combustion. The energy from gas combustion is used to stabilize the combustion process and achieve the goal of destroying gas. At the same time, heat exchangers can be used to absorb the waste heat from the combustion process to produce steam or hot water. Steam can drive a steam turbine to generate electricity, while hot water can provide heating or cooling.

　　2、我國瓦斯發電技術的發展現狀在20世紀80年代，美國、英國和澳大利亞等國家就開始利用瓦斯發電。最初的瓦斯發電都采用燃氣輪機發電，由于燃氣輪機一般都要對瓦斯進行壓力提升，而瓦斯氣體在高溫加壓的情況下會提高爆炸上限，即此時低濃度瓦斯容易著火爆炸。因此，燃氣輪機發電一般要求瓦斯濃度較高(一般40％以上)，當瓦斯濃度變低時，就停止發電運行。另外，瓦斯濃度降低使壓縮設備的壓縮量增大，從而使功耗增加，經濟效率降低。我國的瓦斯發電起步較晚，第一座煤層氣發電示范項目——遼寧撫順礦務局的老虎臺電站——采用的是燃氣輪機發電，其瓦斯濃度略大于40％。晉城礦務局的寺河煤礦最初采用的是2臺2000kW的燃氣輪機機組，其瓦斯濃度為55％～65％。由于燃氣輪機機組不能適應濃度稍低的瓦斯，因此限制了瓦斯發電的利用。然而內燃機瓦斯發電機組的出現，使甲烷濃度高于30％的瓦斯得到充分的利用。目前一些國外品牌的內燃機瓦斯發電機組企業已進入中國市場，其中美國的卡特比勒、奧地利的顏巴赫和德國的道依茨都是在我國運作成功的品牌企業。國內也有不少企業成功研發了內燃機瓦斯發電機組，并且在一些煤礦得到廣泛應用。山西的晉城五里廟煤礦建成了國內第一個內燃機瓦斯發電項目，采用山東勝動集團的400kW內燃機瓦斯發電機組，其機組適應的瓦斯濃度在30％以上。

　　2. The current development status of gas power generation technology in China began in the 1980s, when countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia began to use gas power generation. The initial gas power generation used gas turbines for power generation. As gas turbines generally need to increase the pressure of gas, the explosion limit of gas will be raised under high temperature and pressure, which means that low concentration gas is prone to ignition and explosion. Therefore, gas turbine power generation generally requires a high gas concentration (usually above 40%), and when the gas concentration decreases, the power generation operation is stopped. In addition, the decrease in gas concentration increases the compression capacity of the compression equipment, resulting in an increase in power consumption and a decrease in economic efficiency. China's gas power generation started relatively late, and the first coalbed methane power generation demonstration project - the Laohutai Power Station of Liaoning Fushun Mining Bureau - used gas turbines for power generation, with a gas concentration slightly higher than 40%. The Sihe Coal Mine of Jincheng Mining Bureau initially used two 2000kW gas turbine units with a gas concentration of 55% to 65%. Due to the inability of gas turbine units to adapt to slightly lower concentrations of gas, the utilization of gas power generation is limited. However, the emergence of internal combustion engine gas generator sets has fully utilized gas with methane concentrations higher than 30%. At present, some foreign brands of internal combustion engine gas generator companies have entered the Chinese market, among which Caterpillar from the United States, Jenbach from Austria, and Deutz from Germany are all successful brand enterprises operating in China. Many domestic enterprises have successfully developed internal combustion engine gas generator sets, which have been widely used in some coal mines. The Wulimiao coal mine in Jincheng, Shanxi has completed the first domestic internal combustion engine gas power generation project, using Shandong Shengdong Group's 400kW internal combustion engine gas generator set, which can adapt to gas concentrations of over 30%.

　　另外，現行使用內燃機瓦斯發電機組的國內企業還有江蘇啟東寶駒、濟南柴油機廠、淄博柴油機廠等。隨著國家對新能源開發支持的力度越來越大，很多企業也逐漸注重瓦斯發電技術的發展，目前的內燃機發電機組對瓦斯濃度的適應性也越來越好，機組單機容量越來越大，自動化程度越來越高，瓦斯發電技術日臻成熟，對瓦斯發電電站的管理也日益完善，使瓦斯資源能夠得到更充分的利用。從山西的調研情況看，瓦斯發電從最初的低效率、自動化水平低、個體經營的小容量牛棚電站逐漸轉變為高效率、自動化程度高、大發電企業主導的大規模大容量瓦斯電站。

　　In addition, domestic enterprises currently using internal combustion engine gas generator sets include Jiangsu Qidong Baoju, Jinan Diesel Engine Factory, Zibo Diesel Engine Factory, etc. With the increasing support of the country for the development of new energy, many enterprises are gradually paying attention to the development of gas power generation technology. Currently, the adaptability of internal combustion engine generator sets to gas concentration is also getting better. The single unit capacity of the unit is getting larger and the degree of automation is getting higher. Gas power generation technology is becoming more mature, and the management of gas power plants is also becoming more perfect, so that gas resources can be more fully utilized. From the research in Shanxi, it can be seen that gas power generation has gradually transformed from the initial low efficiency, low automation level, and small capacity cowshed power stations operated by individuals to high-efficiency, highly automated, and large-scale gas power stations dominated by large power generation enterprises.

　　3、內燃機瓦斯發電的關鍵技術內燃機瓦斯發電存在的問題及技術難點可以歸納為氣源品質處理和進入發電機前瓦斯氣的濃度、氣量的控制。

　　3. The key technology of internal combustion engine gas power generation can be summarized as the problems and technical difficulties of gas source quality treatment and the control of gas concentration and volume before entering the generator.

　　3.1瓦斯氣的品質處理目前用來發電的瓦斯大多數都是煤礦為了安全生產而從井下抽放的瓦斯氣，這些瓦斯氣的品質決定著瓦斯發電機組的運行情況，因此在瓦斯氣進入內燃機之前要對其進行一系列的處理，以滿足發電機對氣體的運行要求，具體包括以下4種處理方式。

　　3.1 Quality Treatment of Gas Gas Currently, most of the gas used for power generation is extracted from underground coal mines for safety production. The quality of these gas gases determines the operation of the gas generator unit. Therefore, before entering the internal combustion engine, a series of treatments must be carried out to meet the gas operation requirements of the generator, including the following four treatment methods.

　　（1）降低瓦斯氣含水量：從井下抽放出來的瓦斯氣都含有大量水蒸氣，必須對瓦斯氣進行脫水除濕，以降低瓦斯氣中的水分含量。目前多采用冷凝排水來降低水分。

　　(1) Reduce the moisture content of gas: The gas extracted from underground contains a large amount of water vapor, and it is necessary to dehydrate and dehumidify the gas to reduce the moisture content in the gas. Currently, condensation drainage is commonly used to reduce moisture.

　　（2）去除瓦斯氣中的雜質：抽放出來的瓦斯氣會摻雜著粉塵及其他有害氣體。采用過濾器除去粉塵，并根據氣體的物理性質采用冷凝氣體析出有害氣體。

　　(2) Removing impurities from gas: The extracted gas will be mixed with dust and other harmful gases. Use a filter to remove dust and condense harmful gases based on the physical properties of the gas.

　　（3）調節瓦斯氣的壓力：其穩壓過程一般有兩個階段。一是礦井抽放瓦斯氣階段。由于井下各方面條件的制約，從礦井抽出的瓦斯氣體的壓力和濃度都在不斷地變化，甚至出現較大的變化。此時不能直接把瓦斯氣送入發電機組，而是先把瓦斯氣送人儲氣柜，而這個儲氣柜對抽放到地面的瓦斯氣起著穩壓緩沖的作用。二是瓦斯氣進入發電機組階段。內燃機發電機組要求進入的瓦斯氣必須滿足特定的壓力條件。為此應采用變頻羅茨風機，根據壓力的具體要求來調節氣體的穩定壓力。

　　(3) Adjusting the pressure of gas: The stabilization process generally has two stages. One is the stage of extracting gas from the mine. Due to the constraints of various underground conditions, the pressure and concentration of gas extracted from the mine are constantly changing, even showing significant changes. At this time, the gas cannot be directly sent to the generator set. Instead, the gas is first sent to the gas storage tank, which plays a stabilizing and buffering role for the gas pumped to the ground. The second stage is when gas enters the generator set. The gas entering the internal combustion engine generator set must meet specific pressure conditions. For this purpose, a variable frequency Roots blower should be used to adjust the stable pressure of the gas according to specific pressure requirements.

　　（4）控制瓦斯氣進入發電機前的溫度：內燃機發電機組嚴格要求瓦斯氣的進氣溫度，由于外界的溫度也能影響到管道內瓦斯氣的溫度，因此需要根據季節及外界氣溫的變化而對瓦斯氣的溫度進行測量和調節控制。一般瓦斯氣體溫度都高于進氣溫度，因此要求裝有降溫裝置，在夏天氣溫較高時，投入裝置；其他季節可根據當地溫度情況，切除降溫裝置。

　　(4) Control the temperature of gas before entering the generator: Internal combustion engine generator sets strictly require the inlet temperature of gas. Since the external temperature can also affect the temperature of gas in the pipeline, it is necessary to measure and adjust the temperature of gas according to the season and changes in external temperature. Generally, the temperature of gas is higher than the inlet temperature, so it is required to install a cooling device. When the temperature is high in summer, the device should be put into operation; In other seasons, the cooling device can be removed according to the local temperature conditions.

　　3.2進入發電機前瓦斯氣的濃度和氣量的控制瓦斯氣的濃度和氣量表現為瓦斯氣的熱值，即內能．根據能量守恒定律，其發熱量的大小決定著燃氣機組的發電量，即其濃度和氣量的大小直接影響到發電機組的運行狀態。由于抽放瓦斯濃度不斷變化，無法從某一濃度計算發熱量，因此將瓦斯氣發熱量折合成純瓦斯來進行計算。

　　3.2 Control of Gas Concentration and Volume Before Entering the Generator The concentration and volume of gas are expressed as the calorific value of gas, i.e. internal energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, the magnitude of its calorific value determines the power generation of the gas turbine, which directly affects the operating status of the generator. Due to the constantly changing concentration of extracted gas, it is impossible to calculate the heat generation from a certain concentration. Therefore, the heat generation of gas is converted into pure gas for calculation.

　　根據經驗，1m3純瓦斯氣大約可以發出3～3.5kWh電能。如果在正常發電運行過程中，瓦斯濃度的降低或者瓦斯氣流量的減少，即瓦斯氣發熱量的減少，會導致發電機組轉速降低，從而導致發出電能的頻率降低．當瓦斯濃度降低或氣量減少到一定程度，可能會引起內燃機的失速，從而造成停機，甚至發生事故。如果瓦斯濃度的升高或者瓦斯氣流量的增大，即瓦斯氣發熱量增加，會使發電機組轉速增加，發出電能的頻率升高．同時，氣量和濃度的增大還會降低瓦斯氣的燃燒效率，造成能源不必要的浪費。因此，瓦斯氣濃度和流量的合理配合控制是內燃機瓦斯發電技術的重要環節，也是瓦斯發電技術中的難點。盡管許多瓦斯預處理企業對濃度和氣量的控制進行重點開發研究，如通過對瓦斯氣參數的有效測量，通過DCS的控制平臺及線性的控制策略，可對瓦斯氣量和濃度小范圍的變化進行有效調節和控制。瓦斯氣的濃度和流量具體控制如下：

　　According to experience, 1m3 of pure gas can generate approximately 3-3.5kWh of electricity. If the concentration of gas decreases or the flow rate of gas decreases during normal power generation, that is, the heat generation of gas decreases, it will lead to a decrease in the speed of the generator set, resulting in a decrease in the frequency of electricity generation. When the concentration of gas decreases or the amount of gas decreases to a certain extent, it may cause the internal combustion engine to stall, resulting in shutdown or even accidents. If the concentration of gas increases or the flow rate of gas increases, that is, the heat generation of gas increases, it will increase the speed of the generator set and the frequency of electricity generation. At the same time, the increase in gas volume and concentration will also reduce the combustion efficiency of gas, causing unnecessary waste of energy. Therefore, the reasonable coordination and control of gas concentration and flow rate is an important part of internal combustion engine gas power generation technology, and also a difficult point in gas power generation technology. Although many gas pretreatment enterprises focus on the development and research of concentration and gas volume control, such as effective measurement of gas parameters, DCS control platform, and linear control strategy, it is possible to effectively adjust and control small range changes in gas volume and concentration. The specific control of gas concentration and flow rate is as follows:

　　（1）瓦斯氣的濃度控制要求進氣瓦斯濃度不低于30％，為了生產的穩定性和安全性，需嚴格控制瓦斯的濃度；

　　(1) The concentration control of gas requires that the inlet gas concentration be no less than 30%. In order to ensure production stability and safety, the concentration of gas must be strictly controlled;

　　（2）瓦斯氣的流量控制瓦斯發電機組對瓦斯進氣壓力和燃氣量都有嚴格的控制，瓦斯氣的流量控制可保證內燃機的穩定運行。

　　(2) The flow control of gas generator set has strict control over the gas inlet pressure and gas volume, and the flow control of gas can ensure the stable operation of internal combustion engine.

　　3.3內燃機發電機組的運行策略燃氣內燃機發電機組單機機組容量較小，目前投入使用的常見單機機組容量有500kW，2000kW，4000kW。在大型的瓦斯電站中，需要多臺這樣的機組同時運行。由于井下抽放的瓦斯氣量隨季節溫度的變化而變化，當氣量充足時，發電機組可以全部投入滿負荷運行；當氣量不足時，是停運其中的幾臺發電機還是對每臺發電機降負荷運行以確保機組更有效率地運行，這就涉及發電機機組的運行策略。當然，考慮到各臺機組的經濟運行，根據具體條件，采用適當的算法，尋求最經濟的運行模式。

　　3.3 Operation strategy of internal combustion engine generator set Gas internal combustion engine generator set has a small single unit capacity, and the common single unit capacities currently in use are 500kW, 2000kW, and 4000kW. In large gas power plants, multiple such units need to operate simultaneously. Due to the variation of gas volume extracted underground with seasonal temperature, when the gas volume is sufficient, the generator set can be fully put into full load operation; When the gas volume is insufficient, whether to shut down several generators or reduce the load on each generator to ensure more efficient operation of the unit involves the operation strategy of the generator unit. Of course, considering the economic operation of each unit, appropriate algorithms will be adopted based on specific conditions to seek the most economical operating mode.

　　4、內燃機燃氣蒸汽——熱電聯產山西某瓦斯電站采用單機容量為2000kW的美國卡特彼勒G3520C型機組。該電站工程示例流程見圖3。在該電站中，每15臺內燃機發電機組為一個發電單元，每個發電單元配置一臺容量為3000kW的汽輪機發電機組，作為余熱發電。煤礦抽放站利用水循環真空泵從井下抽出瓦斯，在通過儲氣柜簡單的過濾穩壓后，儲氣柜出來的瓦斯氣進入瓦斯預處理站，瓦斯氣在預處理站中經過脫水、除濕、除塵、精過濾，以及氣體濃度和壓力的控制等一系列處理并滿足發電機組的進氣要求后，瓦斯氣進入內燃機發電機組發電。內燃機排放的尾氣溫度大約為500℃通過3×6t／h的余熱鍋爐產生過熱蒸汽，供給額定容量為3000kW的汽輪機發電或給當地企業和居民供熱。

　　4. Internal combustion engine gas steam cogeneration - a gas power station in Shanxi Province uses a Caterpillar G3520C unit with a single capacity of 2000kW. The example process of the power station project is shown in Figure 3. In this power station, every 15 internal combustion engine generator sets are considered as one power generation unit, and each power generation unit is equipped with a steam turbine generator set with a capacity of 3000 kW as waste heat power generation. The coal mine drainage station uses a water circulation vacuum pump to extract gas from underground. After simple filtration and stabilization through a gas storage tank, the gas from the tank enters the gas pretreatment station. The gas undergoes a series of treatments such as dehydration, dehumidification, dust removal, fine filtration, as well as gas concentration and pressure control in the pretreatment station to meet the inlet requirements of the generator set. The gas then enters the internal combustion engine generator set for power generation. The exhaust temperature emitted by internal combustion engines is approximately 500 ℃, and superheated steam is generated through a 3 × 6t/h waste heat boiler to supply power to a steam turbine with a rated capacity of 3000kW or to provide heating for local enterprises and residents.

　　此外，內燃機產生的缸套水也可給當地用戶供暖供熱。內燃機機組和汽輪機出口電壓為10.5kV，發出的電能通過升壓站升至220kV后并入電網。這種燃氣蒸汽熱電聯產發電模式對能源的利用效率極高，能夠較好實現節能減排的目的，是當前大力推廣應用的瓦斯利用發電模式。

　　In addition, the cylinder liner water generated by internal combustion engines can also provide heating for local users. The outlet voltage of the internal combustion engine unit and steam turbine is 10.5kV, and the generated electrical energy is boosted to 220kV through a booster station and then connected to the power grid. This gas steam cogeneration power generation mode has extremely high energy utilization efficiency and can achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. It is currently widely promoted and applied as a gas utilization power generation mode.

　　5、結語我國瓦斯發電技術處于發展的初級階段，盡管目前濃度高于30％的瓦斯發電技術已經在高瓦斯地區得到廣泛應用，但是由于瓦斯氣量和濃度不穩定等客觀因素，瓦斯發電的穩定性和可靠性仍然受到電力行業人士的質疑。而且濃度低于30％的瓦斯發電技術還不成熟，在全球節能減排的形勢下，國內外相關企業都在不停地研發和探索，尋求更合理、更經濟的發電技術，以盡可能的把各濃度的瓦斯利用起來，造福于人類。

　　5. Conclusion: Gas power generation technology in China is still in its early stages of development. Although gas power generation technology with concentrations above 30% has been widely used in high gas areas, the stability and reliability of gas power generation are still questioned by professionals in the power industry due to objective factors such as unstable gas volume and concentration. Moreover, the gas power generation technology with a concentration below 30% is not yet mature. In the context of global energy conservation and emission reduction, relevant domestic and foreign enterprises are constantly researching and exploring more reasonable and economical power generation technologies to maximize the utilization of gas with different concentrations for the benefit of humanity.
