Alternative to overhead/underground electricity cables
Abstract
This project will consider what role the below ground gas network (new or repurposed) could play in transporting energy over long distances, instead of electricity transmission and distribution upgrades. The project will help WWU understand how the use of the current or future gas system would compare to electricity infrastructure for long distance transmission, and what factors could influence cross system decision making. The project will also create a comparison tool that allows users to compare case studies.
