Abstract
The disclosure relates to systems and methods where an adsorption-based modularized gas storage system is integrated with existing off-network gas distribution pipelines, which can increase the system reliability and robustness for delivering gas. The modularized gas storage system is placed downstream of a natural gas producing well and upstream of a gas-based power plant. The modularized gas storage system can increase the capacity of the overall network, which can allow the pipeline network to absorb the fluctuations in gas demand with little if any need to adjust gas production rate and/or while sacrificing little if any survival time. The storage system can also release the stored gas in the case of an urgent need for gas (e.g., due to a shutdown of a natural gas producing well) to satisfy a desired survival time.
