1.Power plant: The air compressor is used to supply starting air to the gas turbine, and to provide compressed air for the air tightness inspection of the boiler, the transportation of pulverized coal, the desulfurization equipment, etc. In addition, the air compressor also provides power for pneumatic valves and gauges to ensure the stability and reliability of the power generation process.

2.Substation: In a substation, the compressor is used to provide operating power for circuit breakers and disconnectors, as well as compressed air for the compressor and for the gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) to maintain the normal operation of the switchgear inside.

3.Transmission line maintenance: Air compressors play an important role in transmission line maintenance, they provide power to aerial work trucks and help staff carry out line inspections and repairs. In addition, the air compressor also provides power for pneumatic tools, such as pneumatic shears, pneumatic wrenches, etc., to facilitate on-site operations.

4.Power distribution system: In the power distribution system, the air compressor is used to provide compressed air for the pneumatic equipment in the distribution cabinet and distribution room. For example, they power air circuit breakers, pneumatic control valves, and pneumatic instrumentation to keep power distribution systems up and running.

5.Wind power generation: In the field of wind power generation, air compressors are used to provide starting air for wind turbines, in addition, they also provide compressed air for hydraulic systems to ensure the stable operation of wind turbines.

6.Thermal power station: The compressed air in the thermal power station mainly includes the compressed air system for instrumentation, the compressed air system for factory miscellaneous use, the compressed air system for water disposal and the compressed air system for ash removal.

7.Hydropower station: screw air compressor is mainly used for compressed air system for instrumentation, miscellaneous air system in the plant and compressed air system for equipment power.

8.Nuclear power plant: In nuclear power plants, the application of air compressors is similar to that of thermal power stations, but the requirements for air quality are higher, and oil-free machines are generally selected.

To sum up, air compressors have a wide range of applications in the power system, which is of great significance to ensure the stable operation of the power system. Choosing the right air compressor and its configuration can improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the power system and reduce the operating cost.
