RMS-A Tipi Doğalgaz Basınç Düşürme İstasyonlarında Elektrik Üretim Potansiyelinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Extended Abstract Todays’ where energy is extremely important, every type of energy that countries can produce using their existing facilities is of great importance especially for countries that are dependent on abroad in term of energy sources. In this respect, another method, which is as important as using renewable energy sources, is to make use of idle energy. The energy that can be generated in natural gas pressure reduction stations can be given as an example of this situation. Existing natural gas pressure reducing and measuring stations reduce the pressure of natural gas by using an expansion valve. In this study, the power generation potential that can be produced by using an expansion turbine instead of an expansion valve for the pressure reduction process of natural gas was investigated. For this, power generation potential was investigated by using one-year data taken from an A-Type pressure reduction and measurement station (RMS-A) in our country. The pressure and temperature values of the natural gas at the station entrance and the inlet flow rate to the station were used as the basic input parameters of the study. The amount of power that can be obtained was calculated by simulating these parameters in a computer software. As a result, it was evaluated that a significant level of power generation can be produced while reducing the pressure of natural gas at pressure reduction and measuring stations.
