Modeling and simulation of sector-coupled networks: A gas-power benchmark

In this contribution, we aim at presenting a gas-to-power benchmark problem that can be used for the simulation of electricity and gas networks in a time-dependent environment. Based on realistic data from the IEEE database and the GasLib suite, we describe the full set up of the underlying equations and motivate the choice of parameters. The simulation results demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach and also allow for a clear visualization of gas-power conversion.
