Assess and analyze the impact of critical unplanned events as well as planned outages on regulator stations

Synergi Gas overpressure analysis and outage analysis assess the impact of critical unplanned events as well as planned outages on regulator stations. The service is designed to help you prepare for various regulator station events - whether they fail-open, fail-shut, or planned outages.

Regulator station impact assessment:

Helps gain an understanding of downstream consequences
Provides relevant information to help prepare and prioritize mitigation actions in case of planned and unplanned events
Delivers results in hours or even minutes where traditional methods may take days or weeks of manual effort
Provides comparative analysis and ranking of impact severity for each station within a Synergi Gas model

Synergi Gas Overpressure Analysis

Understand the consequences of a regulator station fail-open event

Understanding the relative impacts of a failure on each station within the distribution system allows planning and design engineers to proactively plan mitigation strategies – ranging from priority station redesign / rebuilds, installation of protective valving, or increased patrols and surveillance.

Synergi Gas’ Overpressure Analysis analyses each regulator station in an existing Synergi Gas hydraulic model to calculate the consequences of a critical ‘fail open’ scenario.

It details the downstream impacts, including maximum downstream pressure, percentage over the MAOP, length of gas mains effected, and the areas affected . At the same time, it also provides a system-wide view with summarized impact scores for each regulator station in a Synergi Gas model so the stations can be ranked based on consequence.

Synergi Gas Overpressure Analysis simplifies and expedites the otherwise manpower-intensive manual analysis of each station. The detailed hydraulic analyses are displayed as interactive charts and maps to quickly visualize the location and severity of impacts for all stations in the model.

Synergi Gas Overpressure Analysis will help you:

Understand the impact of a regulator station fail-open
Assist in proactive planning for mitigation actions
Prioritize and focus resources on high-consequence stations
Save time by eliminating time-consuming manual processes
Improve planning through accurate, reliable analyses
Provide consequence data to a more comprehensive regulator station risk model

Synergi Gas Outage Analysis

Synergi Gas Outage Analysis evaluates all regulator stations in an existing Synergi Gas hydraulic model to calculate and report downstream impacts of a ‘fail shut’ scenario and planned regulator closings at each station.

It details accurate downstream pressure results utilizing Synergi Gas models to inform regulator station maintenance priorities and perform capacity analysis and quick assessments of the impact of the loss of supply downstream of each regulator station.

Synergi Gas Outage Analysis will determine the customers that cannot be supplied and automatically eliminate their loads from the pressure and flow calculations. When coupled with Synergi Gas Customer Management Module, planners and engineers can use the application to identify the number and locations of lost customers.

Synergi Gas Outage Analysis will help you:

Prepare for unplanned outage events or prioritise planned outages thereby minimizing impact to downstream customers
Maintain operations and revenues by reducing lost customers
Save time and money by eliminating time-consuming manual processes
Improve planning through accurate, reliable analyses
Better understand customer impact to improve overall risk mitigation methodology
Provide consequence data to a more comprehensive regulator station risk model
