Abstract
One of the main challenges in power system operation is the integration of renewable energy in-feed in large scale. Due to the fluctuating nature and seasonal dependency of these energy carriers, excess energy is curtailed or shortfalls are covered by conventional generation units, since it is possible that temporarily not sufficient storage capacities are available. In this paper we focus on the Power-to-Gas technology as an additional tool for enhancing power system operability. Powerto- Gas converts electrical energy into hydrogen or methane, which can be stored or transported via the existing natural gas infrastructure. A major concern is whether this technology is economically liable. In order to address this issue, we propose a model based on the energy hub concept and apply it to historic data. Index Show more
