AB - During the transmission of natural gas in the pipe-line network, the high  pressure natural gas needs to be depressurized by the regulator station and  enter the low pressure pipe-line, and the depressurization process will  release a lot of pressure energy. At present, some scholars and enterprises  have begun to use turbine ex­panders to convert excess natural gas pressure  energy into electricity. However, with the different working conditions of  different regulator stations, there are dif­ferences in the use of pressure  energy. In this paper, energy analysis of energy power generation process of  a city gate station was applied to optimize the design of energy power  generation process. This works provide a method for natural gas pressure  power generation process design.
