| Abstract | "This project is undertaking full-scale testing with the aim of validating models forerosion, vibration, noise, and particle transportation in hydrogen flow conditionsthat would likely exist in a converted natural gas network for the purpose ofcontributing to the heat transformation necessary to meet the 2030 and 2050emissions targets. The project meets the Heat challenge aims to ""produce insightsand findings which facilitate decision making for low carbon heating by the energynetworks, industry and government"".Project partners include all the gas distribution network operators (SGN, Cadent,NGN and WWU), National Gas Transmission, Institution of Gas Engineers andManagers (IGEM), and DNV. Collaboratively working with these project partners,we aim to understand how hydrogen network constraints can be minimised at thelowest economic cost.The energy network innovation for hydrogen networks has evolved in recent yearsfrom desktop studies to multiple large-scale tests, and several live trials, forexample Hydeploy, and proposed future trials such as H100 and the HydrogenVillage trials.The Discovery phase of the project established that there was insufficient datathat could be relied on to define suitable design standards for Hydrogen andHydrogen-Natural gas mixtures in UK gas pipes.The Alpha phase of this project was predominantly desktop based and includedthe following activities:erosion modellingparticle transport modellingvibration and noise modellinglaboratory scale tests to investigate possible synergistic hydrogen embrittlementand erosion | |
