CNG Solution for Power Plant

CNG SOLUTION FOR POWER PLANT     The CNG solution for power plant project is to solve the peaker time operation cost for the power plant.Compressed natural gas (CNG) can now be used as a fuel for gas-fuelled captive power plants. Natural gas as fuel source has a significant number of benefits versus diesel including reduced emissions and reduced fuel costs.To use the natural gas to generate the electricity for the peaker time could make the operation cost decrease significantly and also environment friendly. The CNG tube skids could be arranged and installed according the site actually size and condition, the CNG solution for power plant project could be realize the remote control. The pressure sensor and temperature sensor could be installed with CNG tube skids, the instant signal could be transmit to the control room and the operators could monitor the status of the whole project. The whole system include CNG tube skids, compressors, PRU and flow meter could be designed and choose according to the gas engine parameter requirements. Enric has built several projects for the state own power plants in Indonesia, and these power plants now are in the smooth operation, and the cost is improved obviously.  he world needs an abundant supply of clean and affordable energy to support economic and social progress and build a better quality of life, particularly in developing countries. Until recently, this desire for energy has been met with fossil fuels, primarily coal and oil. Electricity is perhaps the most versatile form of energy and has a wide range of applications . According to the law of conservation of energy, it is not possible to create or destroy energy. Energy cannot be created from nothing, but fortunately it is possible           2 to convert energy from one form to another. Electrical energy can be obtained from hydrocarbon fuels like coal, oil and gas, and primary energy flows like solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy. The use of natural gas in the power sector is expected to increase over the next 20 years as it gains share from coal but falls back by 2050 as the use of renewables accelerate. Electrical energy is easy to transport, can be used to generate heat, power electrical motors to produce mechanical energy, and power electronic devices. In the seventh article in this series, Steyn (2021) discussed outlets and applications for natural gas, including power generation. In this article, we describe the basics of electric power generation in more detail and focus on the different options for generating power from natural gas. Basics of power generation Opening remarks Although sources such as electric batteries can supply electric power, it is mostly produced by electric generators in power stations. The electric power system, often referred to as the electric power grid, is made up of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. We briefly discuss power generators and primary drivers, and then consider options for natural gas power generation. Power generators In 1831, the physicist Michael Faraday discovered that when a magnet is moved inside a coil of wire, an electromotive force is induced which causes electrons to flow inside the wire, generating an electric energy (Beck, 2018). A generator is any machine that converts mechanical energy to electric current. For a generator to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, three conditions must exist for electromagnetic induction to take place: • There must be a magnetic field present. • There must be an electric conductor adjacent to the magnetic field. • There must be relative motion between the magnetic field and the conductor. Most generators used in power stations are alternating current (AC) machines or more specifically three phase rotating field synchronous AC generators, also known as alternators. A synchronous generator delivers AC electrical power at a particular voltage, frequency, and power factor . Each generator is coupled to a primary driver (i.e., turbine or engine) and converts the mechanical energy of the driver into electrical energy. In this case, in its simplest form, the magnetic field is provided by a permanent magnet (or electromagnet) which is rotated within a fixed wire loop or coil in the stator. The moving magnetic field due to the rotating magnet of the rotor will then cause a sinusoidal current to flow in the fixed stator coil as the field moves past the stator         3 windings (conductors). If the rotor field is provided by an electromagnet, it will need direct current excitation. If instead of a single coil in the stator, three independent stator coils or windings, spaced 120˚ apart around the periphery of the machine, are used, then the output of these windings can be interconnected and utilised in a three-phase system, or utilised as three independent single-phase systems.
