1. Estimating Maximum Transient Forces in a Liquid Piping System

Presented by:

  • Guohua Li, Principal Hydraulic Engineer, DNV 
  • Deepthi Chandromouli, Senior Engineer, DNV

Wednesday, May 8 | 9:20 AM – 10:00 AM

This paper estimates the axial forces in liquid piping systems during transients. Based on transient simulation results for three typical liquid piping systems, the paper demonstrates that the worst force case could be different from the worst overpressure case, both upsurge and down-surge are equally important in estimating the maximum forces, and the magnitude of forces could vary significantly from pipe to pipe.

2. Pipeline Design Options to Transport Hydrogen Produced from Intermittent Renewable Power Supply

Presented by: 

  • Guohua Li, Principal Hydraulic Engineer, DNV 
  • Hamid Bidmus, Head of Department, Advisory Services, DNV 
  • Randy Dinata, Senior Hydrogen Engineer, DNV 

Thursday, May 9 | 4:20 PM – 5:00 PM

Designing a pipeline to deliver stable and large-scale hydrogen from renewable sources is a challenge. Two pipeline design options are proposed to resolve the challenge, an over-sized pipeline for both storage and transmission and a dedicated (smaller-sized) transmission pipeline paired with an on-site hydrogen storage facility. Hydraulic transient models are utilized to demonstrate the feasibility of each pipeline design option based on the hydrogen production profile from wind power source as an example. The feasible and/or infeasible operations in each design option are analyzed for their advantages, applicability, and limitations.

Let's talk

Meet our experts for a demo or to discuss how our Synergi portfolio and services can bring value to your pipeline needs. Some topics for discussion can include:

  • Decarbonization and the energy transition  
  • Improving operational efficiency  
  • Optimizing design and operation  
  • Hydraulic modelling and simulation  
  • Consultation and feasibility studies  
  • Real-Time Transient Model based Leak Detection  
  • Transient Model based Operation Training System
