SELF-CONTAINED GAS-TRANSFER ENERGY COMPLEX OF GAS MAINS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: natural gas transportation mains.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to gas-transfer energy complexes used for increasing pressure of natural gas transported along gas mains. Novelty in proposed self-contained gas-transfer energy complex of gas mains including at least one compressor station with at least one centrifugal gas charger driven by electric motor is that proposed complex contains power plant consisting of at least power turbine unit including turbine and multiple turbogenerator (with two or more pairs of poles) with common shaftline installed on magnetic supports. Leads of turbogenerator stator winding are electrically connected directly with ins of electric motor stator winding, and electric motor with gas charger have common shaftline installed on magnetic supports. Rated speed of shaftline is set equal to rated speed of gas charger, and rated output voltage frequency of turbogenerator f_tg is equal to n_ch · p_m/60 where n_ch is speed of shaftline of electric motor and charger, p_m is number of pairs of electric motor poles, and number of pairs of poles p_tg of turbogenerator is 60, f_tg/n_tg where n_tg is speed of shaftline of turbine and turbogenerator. Proposed invention provides self-contained operation of complex with remote control. Groups of turbine-generator and charger and drive are simplified in design, power loses for production and transmission of energy and electric drive are brought to minimum.

EFFECT: increased efficiency as compared with known systems.
