GERG, PC Distribution Activity in Gas Sensors Yannick ONFROY PC Distribution GERG/MARCOGAZ Gas Sensor Workshop, Brussels, 27th February /02/2014GERG PCD Actions in Gas Sensors1

2 main GERG projects: Project : The potential of MEMS for gas distribution systems 2.KT Project proposal : Feasibility Study of 3 MEMS Applications 3.Many other projects at members level 27/02/2014GERG PCD Actions in Gas Sensors2

The potential of MEMS for gas distribution systems Funded by GDF SUEZ, National Grid, ITALGAS and Dutch DSOs represented by Kiwa Technology Leaded by Kiwa Technology To be presented in more details by Erik Polman 27/02/2014GERG PCD Actions in Gas Sensors3

Feasibility Study of 3 MEMS Applications Proposal by Kiwa Technology to follow up the recommendations of the report “The potential of MEMS for Gas Distribution Systems” feasibility studies for three MEMS systems: an odorant level meter, a calorific meter, a energy harvesting inside gas pipes Still in discussion 27/02/2014GERG PCD Actions in Gas Sensors4

Exemple of other project : ELIOT RFID localisation and traceability application for pipes and network equipment (RYB, CEA, GDF SUEZ CRIGEN, GrDF) Prevention of Third party interference One tag every 2 m > 1m in ground 27/02/2014GERG PCD Actions in Gas Sensors5

DSO needs Temperature, Pressure, Flow, Gas Quality, Leakage, Position sensors Passive and natively communicating For monitoring applications (coupling of simulation software with measuring capabilities) Easy to integrate in IT infrastructure of companies 27/02/2014GERG PCD Actions in Gas Sensors6
