METHOD OF OPTIMIZATION OF OPERATION OF ASSEMBLAGE OF COMPRESSOR SETS OF NATURAL GAS COMPRESSOR STATION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F04D27/02 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; compressor stations.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to method of optimization of operation of compressor sets of natural gas compressor station. Optimum position of separate operating points in different families of curves of compressor sets is obtained by adjusting preset values of speeds of different compressor sets, and thus minimum fuel load for compression power required from natural gas compressor station is provided. Minimization of fuel consumption, thus obtained, causes reduction of amount of exhaust gases and emission of NO_x and CO₂. Automatic program control aimed at minimization of fuel consumption by natural gas compressor station can be implemented preferably on the base of automatic program installed for operation of compressor station so that no separate program of optimization or other program module is required.

EFFECT: minimization of fuel consumption of natural gas compressor station.
