Trang 3INTRODUCTION
1 RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
Raw biogas contains mainly methane (CH4) and impurities carbon dioxide (CO2), so its calorific value is lower than natural gas Although CO2 in biogas and syngas reduces pollutant emissions, this impurity tends to increase combustion delay time and reduce flame propagation speed, so it will reduce engine thermal efficiency Enrichment of biogas, with hydrogen (H2) is an effective solution to solve this problem However, H2 can cause undesirable results such as increased NOx emissions because of its high combustion temperature and reduced thermal efficiency due to heat loss Mixing a moderate ratio of H2 into biogas and will improve the performance of the engine while not increasing pollutant emissions
Most components are available on the market today for assembling a hybrid renewable energy system, with the exception of the internal combustion engine that pulls the generator in accordance with the requirements of the system Internal combustion engines are designed to work with a given fuel type and under defined operating conditions In a hybrid renewable energy system, the fuel composition changes frequently according to the input materials and the source of hydrogen provided by solar power On the other hand, the load mode
of the motor also changes frequently to provide a compensating load for the system Therefore, the engine must be flexibly adjusted to the operating parameters, especially the ignition advance angle and the equivalence ratio of the mixture Traditional stationary motors can hardly meet this requirement
The thesis focuses on dealing with two main problems of the
Trang 4engine in the hybrid renewable energy system, that is, controlling the fuel supply process and adjusting the optimal advance ignition angle
2 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Converting a stationary engine supplying gasoline by a carburetor to a stationary engine that injects fuel and automatically adjusts the advance ignition angle according to the fuel composition and operating mode in the hybrid renewable energy system: biomass-solar energy
3 OBJECT AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Research object: Converting the traditional stationary engine
supplying gasoline by carburetor into a stationary engine that electronically controls the fuel injection process and the advance ignition angle according to the fuel composition and operating mode
in the hybrid renewable energy system: biomass-solar
Research scope:
- Renovating a gasoline engine using a traditional carburetor into an electronically controlled stationary engine with variable speed within a narrow range corresponding to the working conditions of the stationary engine
- Experimentally evaluate the technical performance and pollutant emission level of the engine at a certain number of points on the speed regulation curve with the specified fuel composition

combustion process of the gas-fuel mixture, the basis of pollutant formation, focusing on analyzing the influence of the biogas-hydrogen fuel mixture composition on the performance engine performance and pollutant emission level
- Simulation: Using ANSYS FLUENT software to simulate the fuel
supply and combustion process of engines running on hydrogen fuel mixture On the fuel supply process, the focus is on analyzing the effects of the pre-mixed biogas-hydrogen fuel supply technique and the separate (dual) biogas/hydrogen fuel supply Regarding the combustion process, focus on simulating the influence
biogas-of mixture composition and advance igntion angle on the technical features and pollution emission level of the engine

modes and fuel compositions to evaluate simulation results
5 SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICALITY SIGNIFICANCE OF THE THESIS
Scientific significance: Conventional stationary engines are
typically designed to use a specific type of fuel, so they are not suitable when operating under variable fuel conditions The study of flexibly
Trang 6adjusting the fuel supply process and the advance ignition angle of the spark ignition stationary engine according to the fuel composition and operating conditions has scientific significance not only for the renewable energy system but also for the renewable energy system hybrid generation but also for the development of flexible gas-fueled engines
Practical significance: Our country is in the tropics,
agricultural production should have great potential for biomass and solar energy The combination of using these two energy sources in a hybrid renewable energy system will overcome the shortcomings of using a single renewable energy source Static engines using biogas-hydrogen play an important role in hybrid renewable energy systems
It replaces complex and expensive energy storage equipment Therefore, the research and development of stationary engines using flexible gaseous fuels will create conditions for the widespread development of renewable energy applications It is one of the practical solutions contributing to the implementation of the Net Zero
strategic goals that our country has committed to the world

1.1 Global energy structure in the "Net Zero" strategy
1.2 Hybrid renewable energy system
1.3 Hybrid renewable energy system biomass - solar energy 1.4 Effect of hydrogen on engine performance
1.5 Conclusion
- To limit the increase in atmosphere temperature, we must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, especially CO2 emissions Gradually reducing the use of fossil fuels and replacing them with
Trang 8renewable fuels helps us to keep the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere today, maintaining the habitat on the planet
- Renewable energy is generally unstable and depends a lot on weather and environmental conditions
- Biogas is produced from agricultural or livestock waste with the main components being CH4 and CO2 Syngas from biomass gasification contains CO, CH4, H2 and impurities CO2, N2 The presence of CO2, N2 in these fuels reduces the calorific value and combustion rate of the fuel, which affects the performance and emission of pollutants of the engine However, they have a high octane rating, so they can be used in sparking engines with high compression ratios
- Hydrogen can be produced from water through electrolysis by solar electricity Hydrogen is also present in syngas from biomass gasification Hydrogen has a burning speed 10 times higher than methane, so it is a very good additive to improve the combustion performance of biogas
- In a hybrid renewable energy system, the biogas/hydrogen fuel composition changes frequently The motor's load mode also changes to provide compensatory power to the system As a result, the advance ignition angle and fuel/air ratio also change Therefore, the engine control system must be flexible to ensure that the engine can work efficiently in a renewable energy system
From the above conclusions, this thesis focuses on researching solutions to adjust the advance ignition angle and equivalence coefficient of stationary engines running on poor gas fuel
supplemented with hydrogen

2.3.4 Turbulent flame speed
In FLUENT, the turbulent flame film speed is calculated based
on the model of the wrinkle as well as the flame film thickness [196]:
a series of chemical reactions
- In order to simplify the reaction problem in turbulent media, scientists have come up with suitable combustion models for the interaction between the fuel and the oxidant Two basic models are combustion of heterogeneous mixtures and combustion of homogeneous mixtures For engines using hybrid fuel, the locally homogeneous combustion model is suitable for the nature of the
Trang 11fuel supply process
- The homogeneous combustion model is an intermediate model between the combustion of a heterogeneous mixture and the combustion of a homogeneous mixture The combustion process is represented through two conserved quantities, that is, the mixture composition f and the process of combustion c The position of the flame film and the characteristic parameters of the combustion process can be determined through these two parameters In calculating the combustion process of biogas-petrol hybrid fuel presented in the next chapter, we use the local homogeneous combustion model
- The basic parameter to calculate the combustion process of the mixed mixture is the laminar melting rate This parameter depends

Trang 12With the same engine speed of 3600 rpm, to achieve the equivalence ratio =1, the injection time is 81°CA At the end of the intake stroke, most of the fuel is sucked into the cylinder The advantage of the 5.5mm diameter nozzle is that the injection pressure is only 0.5bar, which is convenient for the fuel supply process

With biogas with a given CH4 content, the injection time increases very slightly with the hydrogen content in the fuel mixture (Figure 3.27) However, with a given hydrogen content in the fuel mixture, the injection time increases very quickly when the CH4
content in the biogas decreases Therefore, to simplify the control system, we only need to establish the relationship between injection time and CH4 composition in biogas
