The present sought to draw a comparison between Model Predictive Control performance and two other controllers named Simple PI and Selective PI in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in SIMULINK® environment of MATLAB®. Control schemes were designed to provide a s...

The Cryogenic Carbon CaptureTM (CCC) process is a retrofit, post-combustion technology that desublimates CO2 in the flue gas and produces a separate liquid CO2 product. This project focuses on the energy-storing version of this process, CCC ESTM. During off-peak hours, CCC ESTM generates more refrigerant than is needed for the process, which is stored in an insulated vessel as a liquid at the l...

He has authored more than one hundred articles on topics in geochemistry, geology, paleoclimatology, ocean-ography, energy technology, and energy policy. Over the last ten years, technological innovation has transformed U.S. energy resources. Geolo...

Natural gas hydrates, as an important potential fuels, flow assurance hazards, and possible factors initiating the submarine geo-hazard and global climate change, have attracted the interest of scientists all over the world. After two centuries of hydrate research, a great amount of scientific data on gas hydrates has been accumulated. Therefore the means to manage, share, and exchange these da...

Glossary Carbon sequestration: capture and secure storage of carbon that would otherwise be emitted to or remain in the atmosphere. Carbon sources: for this chapter, we are concerned with large stationary sources of CO2, e.g. fossil fueled power plants, cement manufacturing, ammonia production, iron and non-ferrous metal smelters, industrial boilers, refineries, natural gas wells. Carbon captur...

We consider the valuation of gas storage on finite horizon. Focusing on the timing optionality of storage we construct a stochastic control model that reduces to solving an optimal switching problem with inventory. Extending the methodology from Carmona and Ludkovski (2005), we then construct a robust numerical scheme based on Monte Carlo regressions. The idea is to simultaneously approximate t...

This paper describes data of an integrated process, cryogenic energy storage system combined with liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification process. The data in this paper is associated with the article entitled "Conceptual Design and Exergy Analysis of Combined Cryogenic Energy Storage and LNG Regasification Processes: Cold and Power Integration" (Lee et al., 2017) [1]. The data includes the ...

Applications of granular materials, such as packed particle beds, are frequent in the oil and gas sector. Granular solids can also be used as adsorbents for natural gas storage in vehicles. Therefore, knowledge of the properties of such materials is important for safe and efficient equipment design. In this work, in order to evaluate the influence of particle shape on the porosity of particle b...

Converting wood to grid quality methane allows to distribute a CO2 free, renewable enery resource in a conventional energy distribution system and use it in transportation applications. Using a previously developed thermo–economic process model for thermochemical production of synthetic natural gas from wood and applying a multi–objective optimisation algorithm, the present paper assesses the p...
