Summary

Documents

Soon we will require flow meters and gas analysers that have the required capability in Hydrogen. Our network could become even more complex to manage, meaning we will need an increasing number of accurate measurement systems that are better connected and can respond quickly to the possibility of varying Hydrogen blends. Therefore, it is important that we complete an assessment of the Hydrogen capability for all our relevant gas analyser and flow metering assets, to understand the point at which we may need to intervene to maintain accurate measurements of our system as Hydrogen is introduced. We will also review developing technology to ensure we are able to introduce new Hydrogen capable systems onto our network as required.

Benefits

This project will improve our understanding of the capability different metering and analyser technologies have when operating in H2/CH4 blended scenarios.
