Appoinment
The use of pressure drop at gas distribution stations for electricity generation.
Features
The use of pressure drop is carried out at large gas distribution stations, where the pressure is reduced from 4-7 MPa to 0.3-1.2 MPa. Gas expansion takes place in several stages at gas distribution stations and points.
Advantages
The introduction of GDS technology with current tariffs for gas and electricity allows you to make a profit, depending on the pressure drop: 0.3 MPa = 66 UAH/1000 nm3, 0.6 MPa = 45 UAH/1000 nm3 and 1, 2 MPa = 27 UAH/1000 nm3. For GDS with an average flow of 22,000 nm3/h, the monthly profit will be: 1, 0.7 and 0.4 million UAH, respectively.
Development readiness level
The development is in the state of “idea”, the parameters of which are modeled using a computer model.
