LNG injection into the distribution grid of SH Netz AG in Brunsbüttel

In March 2023, LNG will be injected into the gas distribution grid of Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG in Brunsbüttel for the first time. SmartSim enables correct billing despite a wide range of gas qualities in the grid and contributes to securing the European energy supply.

Can gas quality tracking also be applied to downstream distribution grids? This is exactly what we have now proven for the first time at LSW Netz…

Over the past few years, CV determination by gas quality tracking has become state of the art…

Tracking gas quality in Colombia: from the Caribbean coast to the equator

The gas grid in Colombia is supplied from various sources. On the Caribbean coast in the north, natural gas is fed into the grid of the state-owned transmission operator TGI (Transportadora de Gas Internacional S.A.) both via pipelines from Venezuela and via an LNG terminal.

The natural gas network as an energy store – already reality in Brunsbüttel today

The expansion of wind power and solar plants is being driven forward rapidly. But there is a catch: the sun and wind are subject to natural fluctuations. In order to balance supply and demand, effective storage options are needed.

Digitalization makes it easy to inject renewable gases

Electricity can be injected comparatively easily into existing distribution grids – regardless of whether it comes from gas-fired power plants, photovoltaic or wind power plants. The situation is different in case of the gas grid: Depending on the origin of the gas, the energy content or the calorific value respectively can vary significantly.
