A solution to enable gas distribution network planners to better assess the capacity of local networks to accept green gas inputs under all demand conditions.
About
DNV develops and supports digital solutions that help the UK gas distribution network operators manage their assets and operations sustainably, efficiently and safely.
DNV experts help our GDN customers to better manage their business challenges in areas that include:
- Data analytics including machine learning and AI
- Hydraulic simulation
- Demand modelling and forecasting
- Pipline integrity management
- Network planning and the regulatory environment
- Risk and HSE advisory support
DNV has supported GDNs through many innovation projects (both NIA, SIF funding) and joint industry projects to improve the sustainability, security and efficiency of UK's gas energy system.
Key Benefits
With increasing demand for green gas (bio-methane, hydrogen blends, bio-synthetic natural gas) access to gas networks at medium and intermediate pressure (MP and IP) tiers, network planners need to quickly:
- Assess the capacity of local gas networks to receive green gases.
- Understand this capacity under all demand and supply scenarios
- Optimise any network reinforcement needed to accommodate for supply, including storage and compression.
- Use diurnal storage to balance green gas and National Transmission System (NTS) supply.
DNV is developing a software solution that works with existing demand and network simulation tools to allow network planners to efficiently assess and compare the impact of green gas injection into MP and IP networks under all network demand and supply scenarios.
This solution will allow network planners to:
- Quickly assess network access requests from green gas suppliers
- Optimise network reinforcement needed
- Improved service to green gas suppliers.
- Facilitate the acceptance process for new green gas supplies.
- Improve strategy and planning to increase green gas supply, maintaining security of supply and operating efficiency.
