Time-dependent analysis for distribution and transmission networks

Steady-state modeling is a time-proven tool that has long served as the industry standard. Yet, as gas systems grow more complex, engineers increasingly encounter situations where steady-state assumptions fall short or steady-state modeling fails to address critical operational questions.

For such scenarios, depending on system dynamics and the questions needing to be answered, time-varying analysis or unsteady-state analysis (synonymous with transient analysis for our purposes) offer powerful alternatives. This expert-led webinar cuts through the complexity, providing clear guidance on when and how to implement these modeling techniques across your network.

Industry veteran Kevin Hemingway explores different modeling methods and identifies key scenarios where unsteady-state should supplement steady-state modeling. Challenging the misconception that transient analysis only applies to transmission systems, Kevin also showcases diverse real-world examples spanning distribution, transmission, gathering, and storage facilities.
