Abstract
The invention relates to a MEGC trailer for transportation and temporary storage of a pressurized gaseous fluid, the MEGC trailer comprising: two gas banks each comprising one or more gas sections and a fluid conduit system. The fluid conduit system comprises a first and a second bank valve between which an additional gas section is connected to the fluid conduit system. Wherein the first and second bank valves are controllable so that the volume of at least one of the two gas banks can be changed with the volume of the additional gas section.
Claims16
A MEGC trailer for transportation and temporary storage of a pressurized gaseous fluid, comprising:
- at least two gas banks, wherein each of said two gas banks comprises at least one gas section, wherein said at least one gas section comprises at least one gas vessel, wherein said at least one gas vessels is configured for temporary storage of said pressurized gaseous fluid;
- a plurality of section valves, wherein each gas section is associated with one of said plurality of section valves which is configured for controlling flow of said pressurized gaseous fluid to and from said gas section;
- a fluid conduit system arranged to fluidly couple, through said section valves, gas sections within each of said at least two gas banks,
- wherein said fluid conduit system comprises a first coupling valve and a second coupling valve, said first coupling valve is configured for establishing a fluid connection between a first of the at least two gas banks and a first outlet connection and said second coupling valve is configured for establishing a fluid connection between a second of the at least two gas banks and a second outlet connection,
- wherein said first and second outlet connections are both configured for connecting said fluid conduit system to an external facility and thereby facilitate two-way gaseous fluid communication between the MEGC trailer and the external facility,
- wherein the fluid conduit system furthermore comprises a first and a second bank valve between which an additional gas section is connected to the fluid conduit system via an additional section valve,
- wherein said first and second bank valves and said additional section valve are controllable so as to change the volume of at least one of the at least two gas banks with the volume of said additional gas section,
- wherein said MEGC trailer comprises a monitoring and control unit comprising a communication unit,
- wherein a controller is configured to control the status of at least one of the section valves, coupling valves and bank valves based on trailer information data, and
- wherein said trailer information data is communicated to a central server, wherein the central server comprises a digital twin of the MEGC trailer and wherein the central server performs operation mode simulations of the digital twin based on said trailer information data.
