What is a LNG power plant?

Power Generation System: It is considered the heart of an LNG-based Power Plant. These projects often use gas turbines or mixed-cycle systems to convert LNG into energy efficiently. Gas turbines burn natural gas to produce high-pressure electricity. Further, high-velocity gas drives the generators to produce energy for electricity.

How do LNG-based power plant projects work?

Supporting Infrastructure: LNG-based Power Plant Projects require a robust supporting infrastructure beyond the core power generation components. These projects effectively transform LNG into energy via turbines for gas or mixed-cycle systems.

What are the benefits of a LNG-based power plant project?

Reduced Transmission Losses: LNG-based Power Plant Projects can be strategically located near areas of high energy demand, minimizing transmission and distribution losses associated with transporting electricity over long distances. This decentralization of power generation can improve overall grid efficiency and reliability.

How is LNG stored?

LNG is stored in vacuum-insulated bullet tank units that allow for long-term storage without the need for liquefaction of boil-off gas. In most cases, the tanks are refilled from LNG trucks. A small-scale LNG terminal consists of:

Why did China raise four LNG storage-tank domes?

China Oil& Gas Pipeline Network Corp, China's largest energy infrastructure owner, which is also known as PipeChina, announced the successful raising of four LNG storage-tank domes in Longkou, Shandong province, on Dec 15. This marks PipeChina's latest effort to improve the country's natural gas supply, storage and sales system.

How are LNG tanks refilled?

In most cases, the tanks are refilled from LNG trucks. A small-scale LNG terminal consists of: MAN Energy Solutions recently commissioned three gas engines and three dual-fuel engines in the newly constructed power plant in Gibraltar. The new power plant guarantees Gibraltar’s energy supply now and in the future.
