About software

In the future, thousands of kilometers of new grids will be built in Germany to make greater use of electricity from renewable energies. These new "intelligent networks" (smart grids) increase complexity, costs, and vulnerability. Fraunhofer SCAI has developed a software tool to analyze and optimize transport networks for gas, electricity, district heat, and water, as well as sector coupling, using numerical simulations as early as the planning stage. This makes conversion and expansion more flexible for network operators, saves energy and expenses, and increases the security of the energy supply.

MYNTS applications

MYNTS-G/L


MYNTS enables users to simulate gas networks, create and control subnetworks such as compressor stations or mixing chambers. MYNTS has been continuously developed in close collaboration with industrial users, e.g., Open Grid Europe.

New development in MYNTS-G

  • Hydrogen share up to 100 % (modeling according to GERG-2008)
  • Extension to liquid phases (e.g., for CO2 transport)
  • Dynamic fluid transport simulation
  • MYNTS-Reader for viewing and searching energy grids and scenarios (open access)
