Renewable Electricity conversion and storage: Focus on Power to Gas process, EMR modelling and simulation

Inhalt:
Nowadays, the world attends an energy transition, which is motivated by the massive use of fossil energies that is at the origin of greenhouse gas emissions, in particular carbon monoxide/dioxide. Therefore, this energy transition promotes the large-scale use of renewable energy sources. The intermittence and the fluctuation of these sources make their integration difficult; this is why the incorporation of energy storage can provide additional beneficial features and aid in its further growth. This paper gives an overview about the electrical energy conversion and storage. A particular attention is paid to Power to Gas. To perform an optimized sizing of power to gas system, there must be a modeled, which approximates the behavior of the real physical system. To do this multi-physics modeling is required. The macroscopic energy performance will be used in modeling each system component. EMR is a graphical modeling tool that facilitate understanding of the model of the energy chain. EMR modeling approach is a reliable option for real-time energy management of energy system macroscopically.
