Economic and technical benefits of integrated power and gas grid planning in distribution grids

In this paper, the results of the application of an integrated power and gas distribution grid planning are presented. The paper is based on the problem definition and the solution approaches, which have already been developed and published by the authors. Therefore, the focus is on the considered scenarios and the real energy distribution grids, as well as on the results and conclusions. These include, that the potential for injecting hydrogen to natural gas grids is very limited and, consequently, the conversion to hydrogen grids should be prioritized.
