Abstract: Economic studies conducted in the late 1970s suggested that savings could be realized when using electric driven compressors for phase one of the Alaska Highway Gas Pipeline Project. The predictions in 1980 that justified the use of electric drives have not materialized. Nevertheless, the installation of a 25,000 horsepower variable speed A.C. electric motor-driven compressor on this project has demonstrated that savings are available, providing the location is carefully selected and the pipeline has a high load factor. In addition, two and one half years of operating experience have shown that several unique features of electric drives are useful to maintain the continuity of service required of pipeline systems. Variable speed A.C. electric motor-driven compressors are a viable alternative to other more conventional means of transporting natural gas.
