Over the last years, gas-fired power capacity investments in electricity networks have
increased in many countries due to its low-rate of greenhouse gas emissions and the …

This paper presents a new planning expansion model of an electricity and natural gas
distribution system that has high penetration of distributed generation based on natural gas …

The integration of different energy systems is receiving increasing attention as a promising
solution to accommodate the rising share of renewable energy sources (RES). The …

Abstract Purpose of Review The fast growth of gas-fired generating units and the new
emerging power-to-gas (PtG) technology have intensified the interdependency of the …

Power-to-gas facilities (PtG) are able to convert excess renewable energy into synthetic
natural gas that can be stored in natural gas storage units. The coordinated planning of gas …

A long-term, multiarea, and multistage model for the supply/interconnections expansion
planning of integrated electricity and natural gas (NG) is presented in this paper. The …

As energy utilities implement climate change mitigation policies, system planners require
strategies for achieving affordable emissions reductions. Coordinated planning of electric …

The interdependence between natural gas and electric power systems is becoming
increasingly tight, as the share of natural gas-fired units increases. Within this context, this …

A combined gas and electricity network expansion planning model was developed. Gas-
fired generation plants were considered as linkages between the two networks. The model …

With increasing investment in natural gas powered generation technologies, limitations in
gas delivery capabilities are becoming increasingly relevant to operational planning for …
