Description
Summary:A method is described for the steady-state simulation of an arbitrary gas network. Basic equations for a steady-state analysis are given. For controllable elements of the network, such as sources, compressors, regulators, and valves, the equation linking the inlet pressure, outlet pressure, and the flow through each unit is formulated. The set of equations for the steady-state simulation of a gas network and numerical methods for their solution are also described. Two examples are given to illustrate the properties of the method.
