Development of an autonomous power supply for oil and gas fields based on a gas turbine unit driven by an active-reactive turbine

Abstract

Abstract The relevance of the task lies in the development of an autonomous source of electrical power for oil and gas fields, significantly remote from power lines and the necessary infrastructure. An autonomous source is made on the basis of a gas turbine unit driven by an active-reactive turbine, which fuel is associated petroleum, low-pressure, untreated natural gas without preliminary preparation. The developed installation does not require frequent maintenance, the consumption of lubricants, preliminary preparation of fuel gas, and has relatively small overall dimensions. Atmospheric air is used as a working fluid while working surfaces are not subject to pollution. The work provides information on mining equipment, which must be continuously supplied with electric energy, on the currently available analogs of the developed device and their shortcomings. A diagram of the proposed gas turbine installation is given, its structure and principle of operation are described. Information about the developed equipment is given. Preliminary calculations of the main parameters are made, the results are shown.
