Problem/Opportunity

• Paris Agreement 2015: fight against global warming (2°C-objective)

• EU Objective: reducing GreenHouse Gas Emissions (GHGE) by 80-95% by 2050 compared to 1990

• 54-68% GHGE reduction in power sector by 2030, 93-99% by 2050

• German Objective: 80% electricity generation from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) by 2050

• Integration of variable renewable energy sources (RES) connected with challenges (1.) What if limited or loss of generation from RES? (2.) What if excess generation from RES? (3.) What if disruption in electricity system? • Uncertainty in RES generation demands more flexibility in power system need for peak shaving facility to cover peak demand need for back-up plants for variable RES generation need for energy storage for excess RES generation

Problem/Opportunity

Solution

• G2P: Gas fired power plants connected to gas system can provide such flexibility

proven reliability & most cleanest fossil fuel

high ramping rates

short start-up & shut-down times

low start-up & shut-down costs

connection to gas transport network

• P2G: Excess power generation from RES converted to H2 and/or SNG

injection into gas pipelines

huge storage capacity

Problem/Opportunity

• In the past: planning and operation of energy systems independently

market needs in the past:

one simulation software for one energy system

TSO-expertise in one energy system sufficient

• In the future: increased interconnection demands coordination between different TSOs and combined operation of multi-vector energy systems

market needs in the future:

(All-in-One) integrated simulation environment, synchronous single-time-frame solution, one integrated GUI for all energy carriers

expertise in different energy systems required (natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, heat etc.)

Trend to smart energy systems (smart grids) requires new type of models and tools
