CCS Systems Modelling Tool-Kit
A £3m project that helped support the future design, operation and roll-out of cost effective CCS systems in the UK.
About the project
- Project supported the future design, operation and roll-out of cost effective CCS systems in the UK
- A modelling tool-kit capable of simulating the operation of all aspects of the CCS chain
- Supported initial conceptual design and eventual detailed design and operation of CCS systems
A £3m project helped support the future design, operation and roll-out of cost effective CCS systems in the UK.
The two-and-a-half year project launched in September 2011 created a modelling tool-kit capable of simulating the operation of all aspects of the CCS chain, from capture and transport to storage.
It involved modelling technology provider Process Systems Enterprise (PSE), energy consultancy E4tech, and industrial partners EDF Energy, E.ON, Rolls-Royce and CO2DeepStore, who were later involved in capturing, compressing, transporting and storing CO2. The project resulted in a commercial product (gCCS) built on PSE’s gPROMS modelling platform.
The tool-kit was used to support the initial conceptual design and eventual detailed design and operation of CCS systems by helping to identify and understand system-wide operational issues such as the effects of power station ramp-up or ramp-down on downstream storage operation, or the effect of downstream disturbances on power generation.
