| Objectives | Following from the results of phase 1, the project will progress the technical development outcomes from phase 1 gap analysis work identifying the required repair techniques, tight radius bends and increased safety factors for hydrogen transportation. The qualification plan will highlight the key testing requirements and will be aligned to industry standards. The primary standard will be API15S due to having more difficult testing parameters, supplemented by other UK and international standards. In addition, a review of the IGEM standards will be undertaken to understand any particular testing requirements specific to the GB gas industry.These aspects will confirm the operational readiness of MASiP as a viable pipeline technology as these elements need to be fully assured through the qualification testing, we will do in this phase 2 prior to any future trial or adoption. This work will be closely monitored and scrutinised by SGN and PIE to ensure the outputs achieve the required industry requirements, there is also further engagement included in this phase with UKOPA and PIE to ensure integration with current industry standards. This programme can provide a real alternative to conventional high pressure pipeline technology avoiding the problems and limitations of a limited supply of welders and large diameter pipe sections. It would showcase UK technology and provide a UK advanced technology solution that may have future export opportunities and benefits. It will help the UK be seen as being in the forefront of the development of sustainable hydrogen infrastructure for the energy systems of the future. The cost and safety ameliorations of this system will benefit gas consumers and may also help bring hydrogen gas infrastructure to rural communities by contributing to the technology needed for localised energy generation and distribution.This scope of works package aims to bring together all the design and planning tasks, building on the deliverables from phase 1. This Stage 2 project proposal is based in the results of Stage 1, and in this phase the objective is to develop the TRL of MASiP to a TRL 9 over the course of the project and adjust it to the requirements needed by SGN.The report will address the feasibility of using MASiP technology by:1) Developing test method statements in the qualification test plan.2) Delivering FEA (Finite Element Analysis) of thicker steel reinforcement options with tight bends.3) Detailed method statements for each qualification test and test programme design including the testing of repaired pipe sections.4) Analysis of key manufacturing stages (forming and winding) for options selected in WP1.5) Developing a concept design for the mobile pipe manufacture subassembly for thicker steel.6) Design analysis of end fitting options for higher pressures and larger diameters.7) Concept design of mobile pipe machine to make larger diameter pipe8) HOF System Strategy and agree HOF specification for demonstrator with SGN9) Procurement specifications for subcontractors10) Initial Site Planning and Strategy for the mini-grid demonstratorQualification test equipment proving trials; | |
| Abstract | MASiP Phase 2 is a technical development project with identified go/no-go milestone as key factors as to whether further qualification testing should be completed. This necessity is due to the requirement to have a repair technique prior to any deployment for onshore pipelines. The project intends to deliver detailed methods statements created for the qualification testing plan require for product qualification. The most stringent testing parameters were defined from IGEM, ASME, API 15S in phase 1 to ensure that industry wide acceptance of this new approach would be received. | |
