Plan the integration and coordination of energy systems, including electricity, gas, and thermal networks.
Plan for Hydrogen Integration
Alternative fuels cause their own mix of challenges. How do you plan for greener fuels?
The challenges the industry is facing
Gas and power interface
Changing fuel mixes impact both gas and electric systems. Technologies like electrolyzers need coordinated planning between networks.
Operational and strategic planning should be coordinated
Strategic planning without consideration of operational realities increases costs and risks. Operational planning without strategic guidance slows growth.
Fuel blending
Different gas qualities and compositions impact gas pipeline networks in terms of operating pressures, line pack management, energy density, and other factors.
Time and cost
Multiple planning platforms and data sources increase cost and time while reducing trust in the decision process.
Green hydrogen
What are the costs and potential value of electrolytic hydrogen generated by renewable electricity?

Electricity
New technologies, requirements, and demands in electricity are changing the world. A better planning solution is needed.
Gas
The future of gas is uncertain and effective planning will be necessary to understand and enhance the role of gas infrastructure in the energy transition.
Renewable and Storage Integration
Renewable generation and storage technologies can cause as many problems as they solve. Careful scenario planning is required to quantify and minimize risk.
Thermal Networks
Heating and cooling demands are large and represent potential sources of flexibility. How do you plan the future of thermal networks?
