Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2017 Main Report |

FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS AND

ADDITIONS TO THE TYNDP

The modelling has been improved along the following lines:

A separate assessment of the whole year situation and the high demand situa-

tions: national design case peak day (DC) and 1-in-20-year 2-week high

demand case (2W). Separating the assessment is more realistic as it avoids the

simulation anticipating the high demand situation. This allows use of the storage

level calculated from the whole year simulation as starting point for the high

demand situations. Additionally, it allows the impact of the different situations

to be computed independently.

An improved modelling of the LNG terminals, developed in cooperation with

GLE, to better reflect the annual and peak capacities.

A refined modelling of storages has been introduced by matching the summer

and winter period for the whole year simulation with the injection (April to Octo-

ber) and withdrawal (November to March) periods. Additionally, the modelling

uses withdrawal capacity curves (function of the storage level) recently updat-

ed in cooperation with GSE.

The following elements have also been added to the TYNDP:

A section on the achievement of the EU 2030 energy and climate targets for the

different scenarios, in the Demand chapter.

A qualitative analysis of the embedded diversification of the LNG supply source,

developed by GLE, in the Supply chapter.

An Energy Transition sub-chapter providing an insight into how gas infrastruc-

ture can be an essential part of the future integrated energy system based on

sector coupling, in the Infrastructure chapter.

As required by Regulation (EU) 2015/703, a regional-level Long-term Gas

Quality Monitoring Outlook, based on TYNDP results, in a dedicated chapter

and respective annex.
