Abstract
Increasing energy demand, rising import dependency and the European move towards alternative energy sources have a large influence on future energy transport systems. Volatile renewable energy sources are difficult to predict and should be able to provide for the consumer demand anytime. The latter needs the security of a large supply and availability which - combined with a fluctuating production - requires short, medium and long term storage concepts. These requirements cannot be fulfilled by the existing systems in sufficient quantities due to scarce capacities and limited flexibility, but the convergence of electricity and gas supply systems can provide the solution. Electrochemical technologies modeled as energy storages are currently in the middle of intensive political and technical discussions and under new research focus. Hydrogen as a chemical energy carrier is treated as a flagship project for the utilization of unused renewable energy production capacities. As a best option it is capable of fulfilling the requirements and can play an important role in future energy systems. This paper illustrates different aspects and consequences of hydrogen in large gas pipeline systems. Factors influencing the existing technical equipment indicate advantages and challenges for a conservative changeover to a regenerative energy supply infrastructure.
