Modeling a natural gas system for a data center
Join the live webinar on 14th July, as we walk through how to build and analyze a natural gas system model for a data center using Synergi Gas and its Unsteady-State Module.
Data centers are distinctive from most gas distribution system loads. They're large, concentrated, and their demand profile, whether gas is the primary fuel source or the backup, creates modeling challenges that standard steady-state analysis wasn't designed to handle.
This webinar walks through how to build and analyze a natural gas system model for a data center using Synergi Gas and its Unsteady-State module. We will start with a steady-state scenario to establish baseline system behavior, then move into transient analysis to understand how the system responds under dynamic conditions.
By the end, you'll know how to apply both approaches to your own scenarios, whether you're assessing an existing system serving a new data center load or evaluating a proposed site.
The webinar will cover
- How primary versus backup gas configurations affect what your model needs to capture
- Building and running a steady-state scenario in Synergi Gas
- Setting up a transient analysis using the Unsteady-State module
- Adapting both approaches to other real-world scenarios
Date and time
14 July 2026, 11 AM EDT (New York) or 5 PM CEST (Paris, Oslo)
Who should attend
Gas system engineers and planners who are modeling, or expect to model, natural gas infrastructure that serves data center demand. No prior data center experience required. Familiarity with Synergi Gas is helpful but not assumed.

Kevin Hemingway
Kevin joined DNV in 1996 and has since worked across nearly every client-facing aspect of Synergi Gas. His experience spans how engineers apply these tools in practice, the points where modeling problems commonly arise, and the factors that distinguish a reliable model from one that fails under real conditions. It is this practitioner's perspective that he brings to the webinar.
