Predictive Modeling and Detection of Insulation Failure in a Natural Gas Pipeline Transmission System

Looped Pipeline System for Increasing the Capacity of Natural Gas Transmission

Simulation model for natural gas transmission pipeline network system

This paper focuses on developing a simulation model for the analysis of transmission pipeline network system (TPNS) with detailed characteristics of compressor stations. Compressor station is the key element in the TPNS since it provides energy to keep the gas moving. The simulation model is used to create a system that simulates TPNS with different configurations to get pressure and flow param...

Experimental Study of the Residual Stresses in Girth Weld of Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline

In order to achieve integrated condition in the girth welding of high pressure natural gas transmission pipelines, the weld zones and its surrounding area should have good mechanical properties. Residual stresses are an important defect especially in the girth welding of the pipeline. In this study, two API X70 steel pipes (with spiral seam weld) of 56 inches outside diameter and 0.780 inch wal...

risk assessment and management of gas transmission lines, in alamout natural gas pipeline

using natural gas as a clean, plentiful and inexpensive source of energy in recent years has progressively increased in iran. pipelines are the most common system to transport natural gas from field to different regions of iran. these pipelines always pose risks to surrounding population and environments. the aim of this study was to assess the potential health, safety, and environment risk of ...

Predictive Control of Gas Injection in Natural Gas Transport Networks

The present sought to draw a comparison between Model Predictive Control performance and two other controllers named Simple PI and Selective PI in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in SIMULINK® environment of MATLAB®. Control schemes were designed to provide a s...
