MODELING OF A 2-STAGE HIGH-PRESSURE GAS REDUCTION STATION

The delivery of gas from the national transmission system into the reg ional supergrids, at the correct pressure, ir accomplished using a fac ility referred to in the industry as an above-ground installation (AGI ). Early attempts to control such systems were compromised by inadequa te models developed to explain system behaviour. This paper outlines t he construction of a multi-input multi-output system model which has b een used successfully to explain system operation to gas engineers as well as providing a basis for the design and implementation of a numbe r of advanced control systems.
