Security and Resiliency of the U.S. Gas Supply

NREL • United States

encoord worked with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to analyze the potential impacts of inclement weather and other extreme events on the resiliency and security of gas supply. Challenges addressed include:

  • What happens when, in periods of inclement weather, gas-fired power generation demand surpasses the natural gas supply?

  • How can gas system operators mitigate the risks associated with volatile gas demand?

Long-Duration Energy Storage in Europe

Sumitomo SHI FW Europe

encoord teamed up with Sumitomo SHI FW to assess the practicality of integrating their Liquid Air Energy Storage technology in Europe, as well as determining its influence on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Sumitomo SHI FW had key questions around:

  • How can we validate the value of Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) technology?

  • How do we tell the value story of LAES to the energy industry?

  • How do we identify operation, utilization, and revenues for LAES in systems that are rapidly integrating renewable energy?

  • How can we quantify the system-level effects of LAES in electricity markets like Germany and Spain?

The Challenges of Electrifying Gas Customers

We must plan the electrification of our gas customers. Where do we start?

The electrification of gas customers creates a host of challenges spanning from planning to implementation.

What are the costs and benefits? What regulations or incentives are in place? Do we have sufficient data to start planning? Is that data in one database? Will our current power infrastructure handle electrification? How do we effectively decommission gas pipelines without disrupting service quality for other customers on the network? Which customers should we electrify first? How do we ensure equitable handling of electrification? n?

The Economic, Environmental, and Operational Impacts of Hydrogen Integration

Hydrogen integration is hard to financially assess and difficult to plan.

Is blending hydrogen into gas pipelines viable? What about as a fuel source for gas-fired generation? How will we consider the impacts of producing hydrogen? How will this affect our decarbonization goals? What are the real environmental benefits? How will we balance the costs and benefits?
