Analysis of the efficiency of energy systems of long-distance energy transport

Abstract

The article presents the results of the comparative efficiency of energy systems for the transfer of natural gas energy over long distances from large deposits to final consumers. The result of the research is the limits of competitiveness of systems based on direct current transmissions, gas pipelines, a promising technology for converting natural gas to synthetic liquid fuel (SLF) methanol on installations of combined production of SLF and electricity based on their detailed mathematical models.
