INTEGRATED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE FLEXIBLE USE OF ELECTRICITY

摘要

The present invention relates to an integrated plant which comprises a plant for the electrothermic production of ethyne and a separating device for separating ethyne from the reaction mixture of the electrothermic production of ethyne while obtaining at least one stream of gas containing hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons, the integrated plant having a device for introducing a gas into a natural gas network, to which device a stream of gas containing hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons is fed from the separating device via at least one conduit. This integrated plant affords flexible use of electricity by a method in which a stream of gas, containing hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons, is fed into a natural gas network from the separating device and the amount and/or the composition of the stream of gas fed into the natural gas network is changed in dependence on the electricity supply.
