Optimal Use Of Power To Gas Energy Storage Systems In Renewable Energy Scenario The increasing infiltration of inexhaustible energy formation in the electric energy market is at present posing new issues, related to the identified with the age of generation prediction and planning, because of the imbalance between power generation and utilization. In order to deal with these issues, the implementation of new huge scale storage units on the electric network is predicted as a key mitigation technique. Among vast scale innovations for the electric energy storage, the Power-toGas solution can be viewed as a durable feasible choice, provided that the modification proficiency is enhanced and lined up with other more conventional storage options. Power to Gas Energy Storage systems are used in conjunction with Renewable Energy plants to store the excess energy. This excess energy is used to produce Hydrogen in electrolysers. Power to gas storage is a technology that converts electrical power to a gas storage fuel. When using surplus power from wind generation, the concept is sometimes called wind gas. There are currently three methods in use all use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen by means of electrolysis. In the first method, the resulting hydrogen is injected into the natural gas grid or is used in transport or industry. The second method is to combine the hydrogen with carbon dioxide and convert the two gases to methane see natural gas using a methanation reaction such as the Sabatier reaction resulting in an extra energy conversion loss of 8%. The methane /SNG may then be fed into the natural gas grid or further converted in to LPG by synthesising SNG with partial reverse hydrogenation at high pressure and low temperature. LPG in turn can be converted into alkylate which is a premium gasoline blending stock because it has exceptional antiknock properties and
