Abstract:

This study aims to grasp the operating condition through the simulation of gas transmission pipeline network using the Simulink toolkit of Matlab. Firstly,the sub-modules of pipeline nodes are established. Then they are connected based on the topological chart of the network,to shape typical models simulating dendritic and annular steady-state gas transmission pipeline networks respectively. Simulating results are compared with results obtained via operation methods adopted in other literature materials,thus verifying the models. Results indicate that our method is relatively more flexible in modeling,more practical,and more powerful in
expansibility,and that it can be used in the steady-state simulation analysis of gas transmission pipeline network.

Key words: gas transmission pipeline network, steady state, Simulink, simulation
