COMPRESSOR STATION

摘要

The invention describes a compressor station (100) for transferring a medium in a pipeline system. The compressor station (100) comprises a compressor (10) for transferring the medium within a pipeline (110) wherein the compressor (10) is disposed on a first shaft (11). A turbine (12) for driving the compressor (10) is disposed on a second shaft (13). Furthermore, the compressor station (100) comprises a power grid (200) and a power distribution means (15) for transferring mechanical power between the independently rotating first and second shaft (11, 13). The power distribution means (15) is adapted to supply electrical power to the power grid (200) or to draw electrical power from the power grid (200) according to a mechanical power difference between the rotating first and second shaft (11, 13).
