LNG Terminal Reserve Planning Optimum Performance for Integrated Gas and Power Generation System

In this article, a scheduling model for optimizing the integrated system of LNG Reserve is developed. This model considers the impact of LNG supply risks on the operation of the integrated gas power generation system in a multi-Gas provider supply setting. The optimization goals of this model are focused on minimizing the annual cost of the integrated system. It achieves this by taking into account the operating simulations of various common scenarios that occur over a 52-week period in a single year, as well as the annualized investment in LNG Tanks. The arrival of LNG and the operational mode of LNG terminals are key factors in establishing the operational targets for each possible scenario. A comprehensive evaluation network based on IEEE-39, featuring a Greenville LNG 20-node network, has been successfully developed. The evaluation network allows for the determination of the optimum reserve duration. Furthermore, the impact of load levels and various modes of operation on reserve scheduling has been thoroughly investigated. Keywords: LNG, Terminal, Model, Tank, System, Scheduling
