Flexibility-Oriented Operation of Integrated Power and Gas Networks and Low-Carbon Technologies Under Clean Energy Transition

Flexibility-Oriented Operation of Integrated Power and Gas Networks and Low-Carbon Technologies Under Clean Energy Transition examines the critical role that integrated gas and electricity networks play in achieving a sustainable, low-carbon energy future.Sections cover innovative low-carbon technologies, such as hydrogen and ammonia, while addressing synthesis, storage, and transportation hurdles.Its detailed content covers the flexibility of coupled gas and electricity networks, operational strategies for achieving net-zero carbon emissions, and intelligent methods for assessing network adaptability.Users will find a conceptual overview of decarbonization efforts for integrated energy systems and discussions on the feasibility of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in these processes.Further, the book discusses the decoupling of emissions from economic growth, the role of negative emission technologies (NETs), and the application of innovative energy solutions such as gas carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen production.Case studies illustrate successful implementations of integrated networks worldwide, highlighting challenges and key lessons learned.It not only highlights the urgent need for flexibility in these interconnected systems, particularly through demand-side management and energy storage systems, but also addresses the pressing challenges posed by climate change and the transition away from fossil fuels.
