Abstract

The development of mathematical models for the most reliable power generation engines to propose an efficient use of fuels and increase energy conversion efficiency has become one of the main objectives of research work in the area. In order to study the heat release phenomenon in the cylinders of a 2 MW J612 Jenbacher natural gas engine from mean variables available in operational records, a semiphysical model has been proposed from mass balances, energy, constitutive equations and statistical regressions. The results show that from the proposed model of heat rejected with a determination coefficient of 0.99, the allow to reach a maximum relative error of 2% in island mode and 4% operating in network for the estimation of the temperature of the gases at the exit of the cylinders. Likewise, the model allows to determine the fraction of heat lost in the cylinders according to the energy provided by the natural gas.
