The files we had were made once a year, and they were not accurate enough. “Therefore, we need more frequently updated, accurate calculations.

Additionally, the escalating gas prices drive more and more households to change from gas to electric heating, resulting in connections being rapidly removed from the grid and a quickly evolving gas network,” he says. At the same time, the pandemic and the new way of working that it brought about, has resulted in changes in customer consumption patterns. “As the energy transition accelerates, we have more requests for green gas suppliers looking to supply gas in our networks. “The market is changing very fast and so are customer usage patterns,” says Simon Adriaensen, Grid Architect and one of the primary users of Synergi Gas at Enexis. Energy transition brings changes to the grid These decisions can now be based on near-live information, giving additional insights, and enabling improved reporting. Now, with the implementation and enhancement of Synergi Gas Automated Model Builder, grid architects are given a near real-time network model for analysis, with more accurate results and better support for critical decisions.

In addition, the in-house software did not have the capability for accurate modelling of the most complex situations.

Previously, their models for carrying out feasibility and impact assessments had been updated on an annual basis and any new modelling, done intermittently, had to be completed using manual updates. Due to various factors impacting demand, such as pandemic, insulation, use of hybrid heating pumps and higher market prices, there has been a very different usage pattern, with very little stability. In response to the constantly changing utility market, especially related to the energy transition, the engineers at Enexis saw the need to become more agile with accurate models of their gas pipeline grids based on the most current information.

This is why Enexis has chosen to upgrade to DNV’s Synergi Gas Automated Model Builder, to carry out feasibility and impact assessment studies to ensure safe and reliable operations as they distribute alternative gasses such as biomethane and hydrogen through their networks.Įnexis Groep of the Netherlands delivers gas to 2.3 million customers and is a long-time user of DNV’s hydraulic modelling and simulation software - Synergi Gas. In today’s rapidly evolving energy market, utilities are ever more dependent on highly accurate and fully up-to-date models of their networks to make critical decisions.
