Sectors
Our gas distribution pressure actuators ensure accurate and intelligent remote control in a variety of gas distribution applications, while maintaining security of supply.
Natural Gas Distribution
Gas DSOs face increasing challenges in terms of distributing gas, with the need to be sustainable and affordable, and effectively to ‘green’ the gas grid while maintaining excellent standards of supply and customer satisfaction. UtonomyOne gives gas networks an easy, retrofittable solution and the power to address these challenges proactively. Installing the hardware (actuator, controller, comms) and intelligent software provides operators with intelligent remote control and monitoring of the network, and full data and insights for reporting and advanced operability.
Biomethane
As the number of biomethane plants and injection of their green gas into the gas grid increases both in Europe and globally, DSOs face challenges in managing the network to ensure that biomethane is prioritised over natural gas, and the amount injected is maximised. Utonomy’s intelligent pressure management system uses specialist hardware, and machine-learning software to remotely control network pressures, making sure that each biomethane plant can inject its full capacity.
Industrial
Large single users such as manufacturing facilities, glass production facilities and power plants strive to meet stringent net zero regulations by decarbonising their industrial processes, and consequently, solutions such as industrial biomethane usage are experiencing rapid growth throughout Europe. At these facilities, fuel gas application start-ups and shutdowns can be abrupt. The UtonomyOne suite of intelligent pressure regulation products and solutions can enable industrial users to respond quickly to change and take control of their fuel usage and supply.
Hydrogen
Natural gas DSOs are now increasingly blending hydrogen into existing distribution networks, as part of their mission to repurpose the gas grid, and this necessitates a wealth of evolution, development and unique challenges: modernising infrastructure, digitalisation, and stronger cooperation.
Utonomy’s unique intelligent pressure control hardware and software solution is fully hydrogen-ready – find out what it can do for your network.
