PE0536 : Design and Simulation of Gas Distribution Networks

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-theart simulators.

 This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Design and Simulation of Gas Distribution Networks. It covers the gas distribution systems and properties of natural gas and flow behavior; the components of gas distribution networks, design codes and standards and demand estimation, load forecasting and network design philosophy; the fluid flow equations for gas systems, pressure drop and flow rate analysis; the pipe sizing methodology and pressure regulation and control; and the compressor and booster station concepts and manual network calculation techniques.

 During this interactive course, participants will learn the gas network modeling, data preparation for simulation and normal operating conditions; the calibration and validation of models, network expansion, future planning and optimization techniques; the reliability and risk assessment, safety design and emergency analysis; the SCADA and monitoring integration, GIS integration and digital mapping; the operation and maintenance of gas networks and integrity management systems; and the emergency response and incident management, economic analysis of network designs and design documentation and deliverables.
