Integrated electricity-heat-gas modelling and assessment, with applications to the Great Britain system. Part II: Transmission network analysis and low carbon technology and resilience case studies

Abstract

With the increasing interactions between the heat, electricity and gas sectors due to the introduction of low carbon heating technologies, there is a need for models to assess the inter-sector interactions at a network level. This paper presents a novel integrated electricity-heat-gas transmission network model that considers electrical and gas network flows coupled with the fuel requirements for the heating sector. The latter is modelled at a nodal network level and on a half-hourly basis, building upon the high-resolution temporal and spatial heat demand model presented in Part I. In particular, here the modelling is developed further to include an integrated heat-electricity-gas optimizat..
