- Principle: storage of natural gas to enable matching of the supply to the demand
- Process: drive a compressor by an electric motor to adjust gas flow in and out the underground structure of storage
- Our solution is adapted to compressor manufacturer’s requirements:
- high speed solution (6 years maintenance free)
- traditional solution with gearbox
- Our technology:
| Motors | Variable Speed Drive System |
| Induction motors | PWM (MV7000) |
| Synchronous motors | LCI (SD7000) and PWM (MV7000) |
- Our strength using traditional solution:
Compared to gas turbines, Converteam's traditional electric solution provides:- soft starting for compressor unit (life time)
- good efficiency
- availability
- constant torque capability (high starting torque)
- no CO2 or NOX emission
- Our strength using High Speed solution:
With the electric High Speed solution, the above advantages are strengthened, as this solution:- is gearbox free
- is compact -takes up less room and is lighter
- has high permanent efficiency (lower operating costs)
- has fewer components: simple installation, less auxiliary consumption.
In addition, with the integrated solution, there are even more advantages: - oil, air, water free
- motor cooling using gas.
