NATURAL GAS SYSTEM - FLOW MEASURING AND VOLUMETRIC BALANCE
Homero Fenner Filho
Abstract:
This paper presents a computational system developed for the gas measuring management and for the accounting balance closure of an entire gas network. The system calculates for each measuring point an uncertainty and a quality value, based on the gas features, the equipment and the variables involved in the flow rate calculation. A mathematical programming model closes the balance, minimizing the weighed sum of the network adjustments of the flow rates.
