100% renewable energies through power-to-gas
Editha Kötter
As part of the research project “100% RE through PtG”, funded by the BMWi, many interesting results have been obtained. In an extensive multi-node optimization, the configuration of the energy generation system of the model region ‘Trier-Amprion5’ in Rhineland-Palatinate has been optimized for electricity generation costs.
This resulted in findings regarding: quantity and feed-in times of Reg gas with a 100% RE supply; requirements that this places on the technology; Interactions of PtG with other system components such as batteries, PV, wind or power-to-heat.
