Digitalization in the Dutch gas grid: optimal sensor placement for grid monitoring to enhance network management
conference paper
Renewable gas (green gas or hydrogen) is a key component to achieve a carbon net zero energy system in 2050. Replacing or admixing natural gas with renewable gas in the Distribution System Operators (DSO) infrastructure will give several challenges (next to safety aspects, social acceptance, etc.) on the security of supply of energy to the end-users. The gas network is facing significant changes due to the energy transition: like decentralized and intermittent production (electrolyser using power from solar/wind), splitting the gas grid to (bio) methane or hydrogen grid, declining gas demand, different heating solutions, bidirectional gas grid, and interaction with the electricity grid (P2G or G2P). Digitalization can facilitate this transition in the gas network by creating more insight and providing more information to make smart decisions, optimum investments, analyzing future scenarios, and better operations to increase reliability and security of supply. Within the HyDelta2 program (https://hydelta.nl) the need and benefit of digitalization of the future gas grid has been investigated.
