Abstract: Against the background of transforming energy systems in a sustainable manner, energy security plays a crucial role when designing energy systems in general and energy transportation systems in particular. Energy security can be understood as uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price and, thus, is influenced by technical, economic and political circumstances. Currently many national energy systems are switching from fossil and nuclear to renewable energy supply. Even though the focus often is on the electricity supply, this fuel switch effects the whole energy system including i.e. the heat and mobility sector, triggering even bigger changes. This work examines, using the example of natural gas in Germany, how the long-term transformation of energy systems influences energy security and why this should be considered in short- to mid-term transportation systems expansion planning.
