Gas Networks

This section provide tutorials on how to model fluid networks in SAInt. Case studies and use cases are available at the following link Gas Network Modeling covering:

  1. Hydraulic simulations: Run steady-state and dynamic gas hydraulic simulations to model the operation of gas pipeline networks and quantify changes in pressure and linepack.

  2. From supply to meter: Plan gas systems by modeling the constraints and costs of different gas system assets. This includes pipelines, compressor stations, valves, regulators, underground gas storage facilities, LNG regasification terminals, demands, and supplies.

  3. Gas quality, composition, and temperature: Model gas pipeline networks with gas quality, composition, and temperature tracking. Plan the injection and blending of different gases, including hydrogen.

  4. LNG scheduling: Plan the arrival of LNG vessels to regasification terminals and the storage discharge process.

  5. Underground storage: Plan the operation of underground gas storage facilities, including depleted oil and gas fields, salt caverns, and aquifers by modeling their different withdrawal and injection constraints.

  6. Contingency analysis: Run Monte-Carlo simulations to quantify the impacts of extreme events, assess risks, and plan mitigation strategies.
