Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and generating power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to supply electrical power. In embodiments, an inlet temperature of a flow of gas from a source to an ORC unit may be determined. The source may connect to a main pipeline. The main pipeline may connect to a supply pipeline. The supply pipeline may connect to the ORC unit thereby to allow gas to flow from the source to the ORC unit. Heat from the flow of gas may cause the ORC unit to generate electrical power. The outlet temperature of the flow of the gas from the ORC unit to a return pipe may be determined. A flow of working fluid may be adjusted to a percentage sufficient to maintain temperature of the flow of compressed gas within the selected operating temperature range.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for generating power to supply electrical power to one or more of operational equipment, a grid power structure, or an energy storage device, the method comprising: determining an inlet temperature of a flow of compressed gas from a source to a heat exchanger, the source connected to a main pipeline, the main pipeline connected to a supply pipeline, and the supply pipeline connected to the heat exchanger, thereby to allow compressed gas to flow from…
