Development of a Gas Network Model
for Variable Gas Composition
Creating a Model for Gas Network Adaptation to Changing Gas Compositions
Task 1.1
The focal point lies in crafting accurate predictive models for thermophysical properties of hydrogen (H2)-natural gas mixtures.
This cornerstone will pave the way for precise simulations within fluid dynamic models, specifically tailored to replicate natural gas networks infused with hydrogen.
As a result, a more intricate understanding of the network’s behavior, under varying gas compositions, will emerge.
The anticipated deliverables encompass multifaceted achievements:
- the formulation of predictive models to anticipate properties
- a fluid dynamic simulation engine catering to composite gas blends and
- strategic enhancements proposed for process monitoring and control systems within the gas network.
This task transcends conventional modeling, offering a robust basis for orchestrating gas networks under evolving compositions, thereby driving efficient integration of hydrogen and bolstering the transition towards sustainable energy solutions.
Work Unit Deliverables:
- Models for accurate prediction of thermophysical properties of pure H2 and H2 + Natural Gas mixtures
- Fluid dynamic model designed for simulating natural gas networks enriched with hydrogen
- Proposed modifications to the monitoring of processes and the control/regulation system of the gas network
