In order to reduce the accidents caused by static electricity, simulative experiments were carried out to obtain the relationship between electrostatic and six factors in petroleum pipeline transportation. The electrostatic current generated in…
The aim of this paper is to assess the environmental impact of electricity production from one of the best available gas-fired power plants and to compare it with the current mix of electricity and the supply of electricity from a typical gas plant.…
The growing rate of electricity generation from renewables is leading to new operational and management issues on the power grid because the electricity generated exceeds local requirements and the transportation or storage capacities are inadequate.…
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has an important role in the global industry and energy balance. The use of this energy carrier has been increasing for last decades. The broad development of the LNG sector has been noticeable in the search for new supply…
Clean energy resources, like wind, have a stochastic nature, which involves uncertainties in the power system. Introducing energy storage systems (ESS) to the network can compensate for the uncertainty in wind plant output and allow the plant to…
Due to advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, the abundance of inexpensive natural gas has revolutionized the energy industry. As the world population increases, natural gas will play a prominent role in satisfying new energy…
With the end of economic production in sight, the oil and gas industry is preparing for the decommissioning of the offshore facilities. Beside of removing the infrastructure, there are numerous possibilities for its future use. Paper analyses…
Wind power generation is an attractive renewable energy technology that promotes the reduction of greenhouse gases. Nevertheless, the inherent alternating nature of wind power affects the stability of the grid as it results in frequency variations,…
A novel project solution for large-scale hydrogen application is proposed utilizing surplus wind and solar generated electricity for hydrogen generation and NG pipeline transportation for hydrogen-natural gas mixtures (called HCNG). This application…
The need to supply the ever-increasing load demand in combination with the requirement of environmental preservation has introduced variable renewable generation in the generation mix of the modern power grid. Nevertheless, due to the transience and…
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) stores energy as compressed air in underground formations, typically salt dome caverns. When electricity demand grows, the compressed air is released through a turbine to produce electricity. CAES in the US is…
Reservoir thermal energy storage ("RTES") in high porosity and high permeability sedimentary settings offers the potential for large-scale and long-term heat energy storage for future any-time electricity production. Solar-generated thermal energy or…
The addition of thermal energy storage and natural gas as a complementary energy source improves the flexibility, reliability, and value of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. Nevertheless, due to the transient nature of solar energy, transitions…
Seeking technologies that prevent the need to flare associated natural gas produced along with oil in remote oil fields has become a priority for the industry for both environmental and economic reasons. Six technically viable gas transformation…
The aim of this paper is to assess the environmental impact of electricity production from one of the best available gas-fired power plants and to compare it with the current mix of electricity and the supply of electricity from a typical gas plant.…
We investigate the potential for extracting heat from produced natural gas and utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) as a working fluid for the dual purpose of enhancing gas recovery (EGR) and extracting geothermal energy (CO2-Plume Geothermal…
