Flexibility of Power‐to‐Gas Plants: A Case Study - Herrmann, Felix; Grünewald, Marcus; Riese, Julia (Chemie Ingenieur Technik, 2020)
Abstract Due to the increasing share of renewable energies in the power sector, the need for energy storage and flexible performance is rising. This study provides an in‐depth investigation of the flexibility of a Power‐to‐Gas plant for the production of synthetic natural gas. Model‐based analysis is conducted for the individual technologies PEM electrolysis, MEA absorption and fixed‐bed methanation as well as for the continuously operated process. This study reveals that the Power‐to‐Gas plant offers a capacity flexibility of 87–125 %, corresponding to 4.79–6.88 MW electrical input power.
