2.1. Technical Characteristics of the Gas Storage System

Technical characteristics: 
  • operating volume: 4.772.474.970 kWh
  • minimal hourly gas withdrawal capacity (MinQph) is 200.000 kWh/h
  • minimal hourly gas injection capacity (MinQuh) is 300.000 kWh/h 
The operating volume of the standard bundled unit (SBU) is determined in the amount of 55.493.895 kWh. The standard bundled unit is defined by the parameters of the operating volume as far as the associated injection and withdrawal curves.

Facility pressure (entry/exit) at the point of entry into the transport system:
  • minimal: 25 bar
  • maximal: 45 bar
Due to the fact that the PSP Okoli gas storage facility serves as a seasonal storage facility the technological process is carried out in two cycles:
  • injection cycle which lasts from the April 1st until September 30 (± 30 days) and 
  • withdrawal cycle which lasts from the October 1st until March 31st (± 30 days).  
Connection to the transport system:  PSP Okoli, Naftaplinska 10, Velika Ludina, Republic of Croatia
