This is an example for power to gas with optional coupling to heat sector (via boiler OR Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP))
A location has an electric, gas and heat bus. The primary source is wind power, which can be converted to gas. The gas can be stored to convert into electricity or heat (with either a boiler or a CHP).
