Data-based investigation on the performance of an independent gas turbine for electricity generation using real power measurements and other closely related parameters.

ABSTRACT: Generally, sub-Saharan countries possess abundant energy resources including renewables and fossil sources, with natural gas potentially being among the more abundant resource second only to solar power. For conventional electrical energy generation, gas turbines are one of the most prominent technologies being adopted in producing electricity from natural gas. Nigeria, for instance has the largest natural gas reserves in Africa, and the 9th largest in the World. Thus, more than 80% of her electricity generation utilizes gas turbines. To effectively monitor the state of these gas turbines, several sensors are located on the turbines to acquire data in real time. In this data article, we present the acquired data from a 5.68-MW gas turbine installed as an independent power producing unit in a community in Ogun State, Nigeria over a period of six months. Performing various descriptive analysis on the dataset, the real power measurements were taken as the target parameters, and based on a threshold correlation co-efficient of 0.5, only sixteen (16) parameters were shown to be more closely positively correlated with the real power measurements. Thus, any variation in the real power supplied by the gas turbine would have a commensurate effect on any of the other 16 parameters identified, and could thus help in troubleshooting or scheduling maintenance.

Project description:Methanogenesis allows methanogenic archaea (methanogens) to generate cellular energy for their growth while producing methane. Hydrogenotrophic methanogens thrive on carbon dioxide and molecular hydrogen as sole carbon and energy sources. Thermophilic and hydrogenotrophic Methanothermobacter spp. have been recognized as robust biocatalysts for a circular carbon economy and are now applied in power-to-gas technology. Here, we generated the first manually curated genome-scale metabolic reconstruction for three Methanothermobacter spp.. We investigated differences in growth performance and gas consumption/production of three wild-type strains and one genetically engineered strain in two independent quadruplicate chemostat bioreactor experiments: 1) with molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide; and 2) with sodium formate. In the first experiment, we found the highest methane production rate for Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus ΔH, while Methanothermobacter marburgensis Marburg reached the highest biomass growth rate. We collected statistically reliable transcriptomics and proteomics data sets from these steady-state bioreactors, which we integrated within our genome-scale metabolic models. The implementation of an pan-model that contains combined reactions from all three microbes allowed us to perform an interspecies comparison of the complete omics data set. While the observed differences in the growth behavior cannot be fully explained, the comparison enabled us to identify crucial differences in growth-related pathways, such as formate anabolism. In the second experiment, we found stable growth with a M. thermautotrophicus ΔH plasmid-carrying strain on formate with similar performance parameters compared to wild-type Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus Z-245. The results of the two studies demonstrate the advantages of an integrative approach using fermentation and omics data with genome-scale modeling for the investigation of lesser studied metabolisms, and the biotechnological potential of Methanothermobacter spp. as production platform hosts.
