Abstract

The article discusses the prospect of generating energy appearing from overpressure of natural gas
using expander units. Preheating the gas with a heat pump station allows us to solve the problem of
insufficient gas temperature in the expander-generator unit in the production of electric energy.
The proposal to utilize excess gas pressure in turboexpander both at gas distribution stations and at
compressor stations of gas pipelines without preheating has not yet been widely applied, and
therefore the replacement of throttle devices with turboexpander units will be determined by energy
and economic efficiency. One of the effective technologies to reduce the consumption of fuel and
energy resources is the expander-generator technology. In combination with heat pump units,
expander-generator units allow you to create highly efficient energy-generating complexes that can
generate electricity without burning fuel. The possibility of generating electricity without burning fuel
by expanding high-pressure natural gas at gas distribution stations is being considered. An analytical
dependence has been obtained to determine the proportion of electric energy supplied to the electric
network based on the expander-generator unit in the gas supply system.
