Success Story
ICCP PowerGen
The Situation
A midstream gas transportation company with activity in the Rocky Mountains maintain portions of their pipeline that are in places without access to utility grid power. In order to provide electrical power to their essential corrosion prevention equipment, such as their ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) rectifiers, this company needed simple and extremely reliable electric power solutions that could be powered by pipeline gas.
The Solution
Qnergy’s Powergen solution is designed specifically to reliably transform pipeline natural-gas into reliable electrical power. With multiple configurable outputs, the Powergen was programmed to output electric power at the preferred operating voltage of 240Vac (single-phase) for use with a standard rectifier (50V / 50A).
The Result
The Powergen was installed and commissioned at a remote site in the Uintah basin of eastern Utah. It was placed adjacent to the pipeline and is fueled by pipeline gas. Electrically, it is coupled directly to the ICCP rectifier with a standard 3-conductor cable carrying the 240Vac.
