Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3851730A1] [Problem] To provide a technique for handling a demand response while maintaining stable operation of liquefied natural gas receiving equipment. [Solution] This liquefied natural gas receiving equipment 2 is provided with a storage tank 21 for storing liquefied natural gas, a vaporizer 231 for vaporizing liquefied natural gas that has been fed out from the storage tank and shipping same in a gaseous state, and an electric motor-driven gas compression unit 24 for pressurizing boil-off gas that has generated in the storage tank 2 and mixing same into the vaporized natural gas. In an examination start step, examination of consumed power reduction is started. In a potential stop period calculation step, a change in internal pressure of the storage tank 21 is predicted for a case where the gas compression unit 24 is stopped, and a potential stop period for the gas compression unit 24 is calculated. Thereafter, in a stop feasibility determination step, the feasibility of stopping the gas compression unit 24 is determined on the basis of a comparison result of a reduction period and the potential stop period.
