Case study - Agiba Gas Power Generation
Proserve has recently carried out a power generation project with Agiba Petroleum Company in the western desert of Egypt to utilize the waste free flare gas instead of the very expensive fossil diesel fuel to power the oil production wells ‘pumps. The project faced several technical challenges. The associated gas has a low methane number” less than 45”, which necessitated a ...

MJB&A Evaluates opportunities for natural gas in the marine sector case study
On behalf of the American Clean Skies Foundation, MJB&A prepared a comprehensive assessment of the opportunities for natural gas to power U.S. marine vessels, including tugs, barges, ferries, and Great Lakes bulk carriers. Most marine vessels today operate on liquid petroleum fuel – either marine distillate or marine residual oil. Worldwide there are fewer than 50 vessels in-service or ...

Fuel for thought: European energy market restructuring and the future of power generation gas use
The liberalisation of the West European electricity and gas markets, technological developments in power technology and environmental policies are expected to stimulate continued strong growth in power generation gas consumption. This paper examines the importance of three frequently disregarded considerations in the analysis of expanded gas use in power generation. These include: (a) better use ...

Corporate restructuring of the global energy industry, the next steps: the case of gas in Europe
The European energy sector will undergo a wave of restructuring and reorganisation in the next 12 to 36 months. Deregulation at both the EU and national levels provides a catalyst, creating a range of new commercial forces that will require actors fundamentally to reappraise their business strategies. Companies will look for efficiency gains, economies of scale and scope, new approaches to risk ...

Fast solution technique for unit commitment by particle swarm optimisation and genetic algorithm
In solving the Unit Commitment (UC) problem, two types of decision variables need to be determined: the start/shut down status and the output of power generation. Efficiently calculating the optimal commitment (on/off) and Economic Dispatch (ED) generations of the units at a sequence of times in the scheduling period is known as a challenge issue. In this paper, the proposed integrated PSO/GA ...

Flare Gas Power Pant, Majdan, Serbia - Case Study
The oil field at Majdan, Serbia had excess Assosiated Petroleum Gas (APG). Due to the low heating value and high CO2 content, this gas used to be flared. In 2016 RSE installed a fully containerized power plant with 5 units ENERGIN GEN G500 installed in three containers. The gas cleaning system to remove traces of siloxanes and H2S was also supplied by ...

Inspection of exposed gas supply lines at damaged bridges
The flood caused devastating damage in parts of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. In addition to destroyed houses, streets and highways, large parts of the gas and power lines were also damaged. On behalf of Regionetz GmbH, our employees were on the road, two weeks after the flood, in Eschweiler and Stolberg to check the exposed gas supply lines on bridge structures and to record ...

Understanding and improving energy conversion systems with the aid of exergy–based methods
Exergy–based methods are powerful tools for developing, evaluating and improving an energy conversion system. Conventional exergy–based analyses have limitations, which are significantly reduced by the so–called advanced analyses. The latter evaluate: (a) the interactions among components of the overall system, and (b) the real potential for improving a system component. The main objective of ...

A real options approach to investing in the first nuclear power plant under cost uncertainty: comparison with natural gas power plant for the Tunisian case
This paper uses a real options approach to present a method for evaluating the first Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) investment in Tunisia in 2020. The evaluating model integrates the value of real options: option to wait in the standard discount cash flow analysis. According to the IAEA (2007), starting the first stage of a nuclear power programme makes it possible to construct the first NPP in second ...

The globalisation of Russian energy companies: a way out of the financial crisis?
This paper analyses the emergence of global energy companies in Russia. Within the framework of the history and rules of privatisation, the unfavourable investment climate, and the distortions of the internal Russian market, a dual structure of the Russian energy sector developed. Economic survival at present is strongly linked with internationalisation of business activities for one group of ...

Energy and exergy analysis of a gas turbine power plant in Algeria
An exergy analysis of a twin ABB GT13E2 Gas Turbines (GTs) power plant (2 ? 146.2 MW) is presented in this paper. This plant is running since 2004 at F'Krina in the northeastern part of Algeria. The analysis was performed by the flow-sheet programme, 'Cycle-Tempo'. At off-design load (83%), the plant and its apparatus conserve nearly the same design load performances. However, the performance of ...

Methane Number
Did you know that the methane number of a gas provides an indication of the knock tendency of a fuel? It is a product of the different constituent gases within the natural gas, particularly the proportions of methane, ethane, propane and butane. Understanding the knock resistance is important when specificing an engine for a gas-powered combined heat and power plant. Methane, which has a high ...
