Fuel inputs participatory rapid appraisal at gas compressor stations (GCS) in main gas lines (MGL)
The article is devoted to the participatory rapid appraisal method for the natural gas using in the pumping gas-turbine-powered units at GCS in main gas lines (MGL). Such method method gives express gas consumption estimation both for a single (separate) GCS of the pipeline and for the whole MGL - i.e. for all gas compressor stations. Calculations give Low allowances for gas consumption at GCS depending on a distance from the initial mark of the baseline. Such quantification procedure can be easily made without electronic computing devices. A simple caLculator is required. No dependence on the numerical order of GCS and their general quantity of GCSs in the MGL (neither calculation duration nor their difficulty). The proposed method may be used in the operating gas transmission lines to control compressing efficiency comparing with the actual data base and for projecting of new objects.
