Consider this expression

This knowledge will come handy, when I am going to go there this summer.

This knowledge will come handy when I go there this summer.

I would like to know if the previous expression is correct. If yes, what is the difference between the two constructions?

Neither expression is grammatically correct. The second is missing one word, but the first has too many words. They should both be:

This knowledge will come in handy when I go there this summer.

This is idiomatic English: to come in handy is an English idiom that means to be useful.
