ENERGY 2009 – TOPIC 8 Metrology for Smart Gas Distribution Grids TITLE: Metrology for Smart Gas Distribution Grids Abstract Gas grids are an essential part of the energy supply of Europe. Increasingly, the sources of gas are diversified with the grids fed by different gas qualities, a trend that will increase as new biogas sources are added to the network. In order to facilitate efficient control of the growing grids, to realise energy savings and to ensure accurate accounting, a new metrological and reliable approach to real-time determination of the amount of energy and other relevant quantities of the gas transmitted through and extracted from the grid is needed. Joint Research Projects (JRPs) submitted for this topic should aim to develop new procedures and tools underpinning advanced network reconstruction and simulation techniques to enable the determination of all relevant feeding, transportation, extraction and energy parameters of the gas for any branch of the grid at any time with defined uncertainty acceptable to the industry and consumer. Conformity with the Work programme This Call for JRPs conforms to the EMRP 2008 [1], section on “Grand Challenges” related to Energy on pages 8 and 23. Keywords Smart Gas Grid, Gas Network Reconstruction, Energy Content, Thermo-physical Properties, Safe and Secure Data Transmission, Distribution Grid, Distributed Systems, Model-Based State Estimation, Bayesian Estimators. Background to the Metrological Challenges Natural gas and in the future, gas from renewable sources, play a crucial role in Europe’s energy supply, both in industry and in households. 24.8 % of the primary energy consumption is provided by natural gas. At the end of 2008 the total number of gas customers connected to the EU27 natural gas grid w
