Energiewende decribes the Transition form Fossil to
Renewable Energy
   •   in Germany, the (electrical) power supply is transforming form fossil to renewable
   •   during the last years, an average annual growth of 8,5% in renewables
   •   in 2020, almost 50% of the electrical power is provided by renewables

This Transition is challenging for the Power Grids

   •   solar and wind power will mainly contribute to power production
   •   both are not “base load compatible”, since the production fluctuates
   •   this has severe impacts on the grid

Grid Expansion and Cold Curtailment might not
be the most efficient Solution.
   •   In order to cope for higher payloads, grid expansions are discussed
       (expensive and maybe not always the best solution):

The Energy Sector already is quite Digital

   In the energy sector, we find many digital aspects…
   • all Energy data is collected and stored in energy data management (EDM) systems
       (e.g. Thüga Metering)
   • information on piping and gridlines is digitally stored (e.g. GIS)
   • billing is entirely digitized and automated (e.g. SAP ISU)
   • control systems are centralized and fully digital (e.g. PSIcontrol)

   … and still analog by nature
   • 50 Hz (more or less), pure sine-function (also more or less)

   Key question:
       Can Digitalization “power” the Energiewende?

   i.e. is it possible to cope for the issues that come with an increase of fluctuating,
   renewable energy by utilizing digitalization?

      •    in the following: Deep-Dive into a cross topic project                                                  13
Deep-Dive:
Digitalization and Power2Gas

                               14
Deep-Dive: Power2Gas is one form of sector coupling

   •   by coupling energy sectors, flexibility of one sector can be utilized for another sector
   •   the gas grid, for example, offers high flexibility in terms of fluctuating input
       (the grid is built for pressure increases)
   •   it further offers a high storage capacity of approx. 200 TWh

   How the coupling works:
   • spare electrical energy is used to produce hydrogen by electrolysis:
      2H2O → 2H2 + O2
   • the hydrogen is directly fed into the gas grid and either
      • consumed (heat, process gas) or
      • retransformed to electrical energy (at later time, different
         place) by combined-cycle plants
   • Power2Gas is not a vision anymore, it is already in production
     (shown in the picture: E.ON Power2gas plant “Falkenhagen”,
     VN = 360m³/h)                                                            Source: E.ON Gas Storage

                                                                                                         15
Solving the “power problem” with Power2Gas,
introduces issues in the gas grid
   •   hydrogen in the gas grid reduces the calorific value (CV) of the gas
   •   the calorific value (CV) is the base of billing, and underlies heavy regulations
       (in a nutshell: the CV may not vary by more than 2% if more than one inlet station is involved)
   •   a Power2Gas plant is always another inlet station

                                         standard grid          grid „augmented“ with new
                                (natural gas and some biogas)           gas sources

   •   hence, sector coupling contributes to solve the “power problem”
   •   however, issues are also coupled, in case of Power2Gas: variations in the CV
   •   hardware-solution (measuring devices) is monetarily not feasible                                  16
In recent years, a digital solution for varying gas
qualities has been developed: SmartSim
   •   main idea: calculate the gas distribution using the already digitally available data

   • input data: hourly entry and exit volumes (from EDM), topology (form GIS), load profiles (from SAP)
    all data is already there!
                                                                                                           17
An integrated calculation kernel ensures high accuracy
and low computation time

   •   volume correction for
       conservation of mass in the grid
       (taking linepack into acount)

   •   flow simulation to compute
       pressures, flow velocities…
       (considering real gas effects)

   •   gas quality tracking based on a
       novel package model (back
       propagation algorithm) to
       determine CVs, composition and
       further gas properties
                                                         18
The Results of the Simulation are almost
“better than measured”                calculated CV

                                                                 measured CV   average CV   2%-line

   •   in field tests, the SmartSim system
       has been validated

                                                 CV in kW/m³
   •   to that end, mobile gas chromatographs
       are temporarily installed in a gas grid
   •   the measured and calculated values are
       compared
   •   even huge drops in CV are calculated
       accurately (both in timing and
       amplitude)

                                                 fraction in %
   •   the system is e.g. used at E.ON Edis in
       order to track hydrogen from
       Falkenhagen Power2Gas plant

                                                                                                      19

Wrap-up

          21
Digitalization is a megatrend and will contribute
to the Energiewende
   •   digitalization is a megatrend which influences all sectors of our daily life
   •   in order to prepare the industry, research and the society for the changes, the Bavarian
       government has introduced the “Zentrum für Digitalisierung.Bayern”
   •   it is organized in several platforms, one of which concerns with digitalization in the
       Energy sector
   •   by the Energiewende, Germany transforms its (electrical) energy generation from fossil
       to renewable, in 2020 approx. 50% of the electrical energy will be produced “green”
   •   in the meantime, Renewables, due to their fluctuating nature, introduce challenges to
       the grids and their operation
   •   the Platform Energy is committed to a number of projects to investigate digital means to
       integrate Renewables into our energy system
    by digitalization it is possible to integrate renewables into the grids with less hardware
     but more software
                                                                                                  22
Within two years, the platform has built a substantial
network – a fine selection:
