| Objectives | Our project partners Long O"Donnell (LOD) have developed a methodology for executing the project. This will ensure that the project remains aligned with the needs of the industry and delivers tangible real world results.Search Strategy:Define keywords and search terms based on identified focus areas.Utilize relevant databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Engineering Village, and Google Scholar.Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria:Establish criteria for selecting relevant literature.Consider study type, publication date, and relevance to hydrogen applications.Exclude outdated, irrelevant, or unreliable sources/data.Data Extraction:Develop a structured data extraction form.Capture key information from each selected source, including author, publication date, methodology, findings, and limitations.Critical Appraisal:Evaluate the quality and trustworthiness of each source.Consider methodology, data analysis, and potential biases.Synthesis & Analysis:Identify trends, patterns, and knowledge gaps in the existing literature.Analyse how findings address specific evidence gaps identified through Asset Interventions.Collaborate with industry experts to ensure alignment with current industry knowledge.Reporting:Curate and generate a comprehensive report summarizing the literature review.Highlight key findings, limitations, and recommendations for further research.Evaluate the suitability of <7 barg PRIs with 100% hydrogen based on the reviewed evidence.Invite feedback from stakeholders to ensure alignment with objectives. Work Pack 1 Literature ReviewIn-depth review of the work done to date to assess the suitability of <7 barg PRIs with 100% hydrogen looking specifically at the evidence gaps identified through the Interventions for Hydrogen by Asset Group project (Asset Interventions): -System asset performancePressure reduction effect of vibration and sensing line responsivenessTemperature management reverse Joule-Thompson effectPressure relief sizing of relief valves and associated vent pipesControl systems pressure and temperature sensors, flow control valvesGas deliveryVelocity & saltation impact of potential higher velocity on PRI componentsPressure management PRI control systems including pilot regulators.Reviewing the outputs of the H21 testing done at Spadeadam and South Bank, Middlesbrough and the modelling work undertaken on the Wider Impacts project.Work Pack 2 Industry ResearchIdentify industries that use regulators for pressure control and other PRI components with hydrogen relevant to <7 barg applications such as pressure relief valves, control systems and sensors.Undertake a comparative analysis between the functionality & performance of equipment used in other industries with those installed on the natural gas network. Focussing on equipment materials and design for compatibility, pressure management strategies, operational parameters, and safety considerations.Work Pack 3 Map Way ForwardDetermine whether further research and testing is required and what form this should take.Plan further testing based on the identified gaps from Work Pack 1 & 2Stage gate - move to WP4 should earlier work packs identify the need for further research and/or testing.Work Pack 4 Additional Research & TestingUndertake any recommended further research and testing to close out any remaining evidence gaps in the areas identified in Work Pack 1. The aims and objectives of this project are to:Conduct a comprehensive literature review of the existing evidence from the Hydrogen for Heat Programme (HHP) to assess the suitability of <7 barg PRIs with 100% hydrogen focussing on gaps identified during Asset Interventions;Undertake industry research and produce a comparative analysis on the functionality & performance of pressure regulating equipment used in other industries with those installed on the natural gas network;Develop a roadmap to close any remaining gaps by identifying any additional research and/or testing required; andUndertake any additional research and/or testing identified in the earlier work packs. | |
| Abstract | This project will undertake a literature review of the existing evidence from hydrogen projects concerning Pressure Regulating Installation (PRI) performance in pressure reduction, temperature management, control systems, pressure relief, velocity & saltation, and pressure management. This will include work done by NGN at DNV Spadeadam and South Bank, and work undertaken in the Wider Impacts project on noise and vibration in pressure regulators, and slam shut valves functionality. Research will be conducted on pressure regulators and related equipment currently used for 100% hydrogen in other industries. This comparative analysis aims to assess the functionality and performance of such equipment against those currently on the GB gas network. The project will then provide a roadmap to closing out any remaining gaps through additional research and/or testing. | |
