Development and investigation of existing opportunities of detander generator unit application for gas distribution station with thermal pump unit as gas heating system

Abstract

Development of resource saving technologies for existing energy sources is one of the priority tasks of
the Energy Strategy of Russia which envisages the reduction of losses and costs at all stages of the technological process in the extraction, preparation and transportation of natural gas. To date, it is very promising to utilize the excess pressure energy of natural gas at gas distribution stations (GDS) with the help of expander systems. The solution of the problem of gas heating absence in the DHA can be the installation layout with heating due to the use of the gas heating system of the heat pump station.
