Abstract (EN):
In this paper we propose to model a high pressure gas network using a quadripole approach. Although being simple, the proposed model seems to be adequate to network analysis and control, and is directly extendible to more complex networks, i.e., networks with junctions and loops. The model is proven to be liable on a case study constructed from data supplied by REN Gasodutos, where we investigate the effect of a leakage on the mass flow and pressure along the pipeline with the final objective to define a model based methodology for leakage detection and location. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017.
