GAS PRESSURE REDUCTION GENERATOR

摘要

A Gas Pressure Reduction Generator (GPRG) System and a method for implementing a GPRG System is provided, in which the GPRG System includes (i) a gas inlet configured to receive a pressurized gas flow from a gas supply, (ii) at least one expander in flow communication with the gas inlet to receive the pressurized gas flow, wherein the expander is operable to convert the pressurized gas flow into mechanical energy and a depressurized gas flow, and (iii) a generator associated with the expander, wherein the generator is configured to convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy. In some embodiments, the pressurized gas flow can be a pressurized natural gas flow.
