Arrest Energy Gas Transmission Pipe, English Can Generate Up to 1 GW
3:52 AM Posted by Technology
This has not been long, the UK interested in using the transmission pipe gasnya for electricity generation (greenoptimistic.com, january, 8). Different from the conventional concept of energy alistrik gas, which is used here in the flow of gas transmission pipeline. Not at the gas contained in the transmission pipe. No half-hearted, to reach its potential in the UK equivalent to a 1 GW nuclear plants.
An engineer from the national electricity network company, 2OC, interested to take advantage of the pressure in the gas transmission pipeline by using the mini-turbine to generate electricity. Individual berdiameter 20cm diameter and can produce electricity for up to 1MW.
Such technology is known as turbo-expander. Tahyn introduced since the 1980s, precisely 1983, San Diego Gas and Electric is the first company to install turboexpander into statiun dstribusi natural gas. However, due to the price economy that has not been feasible, turboexpander can not be developed further. Along with the trends in the utilization of alternative energy supported by the growing trend of energy prices is increasingly competitive, technology Dilirik start this again.
The simple principle works is when gas flows from high pressure to low pressure through a turbine, the turbine will rotate. This rotation is used to generate electricity. Turboexpander simultaneously will reduce the pressure at the point needed for local gas distribution network.
However, turboexpander also cause a cooling effect which is also called Joule-Thomson effect. However, the installation turboexpander can be combined with the power that produces waste heat as the fuel cell or other of the more conventional. This is a waste heat can be used to eliminate the effect of cooling turboexpander. Relationships symbiosis can increase the efficiency of the overall system.
For small-scale, 2OC akan do turboexpander testing technology in the area of east London with the aggregate capacity of 20MW. Turbo expander will be combined with heat and power engine (CHP) that will produce electricity as well as heat. Installing this system is estimated to reach up to 70% efficiency.
The scale of implementation is still very small. Overall still in the stage theory, but theory in the near future will become reality. And that, starting late this year the UK will be implementing the technology in turboekspander transmission pipeline network gas.Aw
