BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 16
By Leman Zeynalova - Trend:
Obtaining carbon neutrality in 2045 requires existing systems and infrastructure to manage increasing quantities of decarbonized biogas and hydrogen inflows, Trend reports citing Eurogas, an association representing the European gas wholesale, retail and distribution sectors in relation to relevant EU institutions.
“The fact that these changes are just around the corner is clearly demonstrated by the EU objective to install 6 GW of green hydrogen capacity by 2024 growing to 40 GW by 2030. The blending of gas with different calorific values, the corresponding traceability of energy origin and the dynamic character of inflows are challenges related to blending which companies like DCbrain offer solutions for to the industry. DCbrain is a software publisher dedicated to gas network operators. It combines relevant network data with artificial intelligence in order to optimise operating processes, consumption and make flows more reliable,” said the association.
At the same time the interconnectivity between gas and electricity networks (sector integration) and a tendency towards decentralized market dynamics increases significantly the scope and complexity of decision making for gas TSOs and DSOs, all within a rapidly changing regulatory environment, said Eurogas.
“At DCbrain we are convinced that the digitization of gas networks combined with artificial intelligence helps TSOs and DSOs to make faster and better decisions. The modelling of how blended gas propagates through networks opens a number of exciting new opportunities for dispatching, metering, allocation, balancing, planning and maintenance departments. During the last couple of years DCbrain has worked on a number of use-cases where the blending of gases plays a central role. But before looking at these use-cases in more detail, we would like to elaborate a bit more on the concept of the digital network twin,” said the association.
