Natural Gas Is All About Control

摘要

Ask industrial engineers and fuel managers for the single most defining characteristic of natural gas and they likely will respond with its clean-burning qualities, their own reliance on a delivery system as opposed to on-site storage and the economics of dual-fuel switching between natural gas and residual fuel oil.If these engineers are involved with the electric utility industry, they will mention the "spark spreads" between natural gas and electricity and the short-term management of peak-load plants and microturbines. And they will be correct.
