Using simulation tools to support the transition to hydrogen for both new and existing pipelines
With worldwide agreements in place to phase out fossil fuels and develop new carbon neutral energy sources, is the pipeline industry prepared for this transition?
There is little doubt that the transportation of hydrogen blends is going to have a significant impact on the pipeline industry, but pipeline operators face many challenges during the transition to hydrogen.
A pipeline simulation model that is capable of accurately modeling different blends of hydrogen can be used as a powerful decision support tool and this paper demonstrates how simulation tools can help operators prepare for the transition to green energy and what to look for when choosing a simulation package.
