Energy Audit, Optimisation and Management of Liquefied Natural Gas Plants with Renewable Energy Resources Around the Plant: A Case Study of Brass LNG, Brass Island, Nigeria
The energy generation and power consuming loads at Brass LNG facility located in Brass Island, Bayelsa State Nigeria were analyzed and compared with expected demand changes and means of minimizing cost and greenhouse gas emission were also proffered with wind and solar energy penetration into the overall power mix . The wind and solar hybrid power generation system reduced the fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emission and noise pollution by the generators and turbine by relieving some of the ...
Energy Audit, Optimisation and Management of Liquified Natural Gas Plants With Renewable Energy Resources Around the Plant: A Case Study of Brass LNG Limited, Brass Island, Nigeria
An energy audit on the Brass Liquified Natural Gas plant at Brass Island former Agip facility was carried. The average offshore windspeed and wave return periods for 12months were measured for their wind and wave energy potentials. Also, the solar insolation for the location was collected for a 12month period. A pilot design based on techno-economic analysis was made for a wind-solar- gas turbine hybrid power system and results showed it's cheaper, environmentally friend, and more efficie...
