Research on the process flow of natural gas differential pressure power generation system

During the transmission of natural gas in the pipe-line network, the high pressure natural gas needs to be depressurized by the regulator station and enter the low pressure pipe-line, and the depressurization process will release a lot of pressure energy. At present, some scholars and enterprises have begun to use turbine ex?panders to convert excess natural gas pressure energy into electricity. However, with the different working conditions of different regulator stations, there are dif?ferences in the use of pressure energy. In this paper, energy analysis of energy power generation process of a city gate station was applied to optimize the design of energy power generation process. This works provide a method for natural gas pressure power generation process design.
