| Abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to study the reliability improved system optimization of the looped natural gas transmission systems . This thesis presents a basic framework for a model that can be used to determine t he optimal cost (least- cost) design of a natura l gas transmission system subj ected to pressure bounds and rel iability constraints. Reliabil ity is defined as the probabil ity of satisfying the noda l demands for various pipe and compressor failures i n t he natural gas transmission system. The over a ll mode l includes two that are l inked : a reliability model based on a maxima l flow algorithm, determines the values of the system and noda l rel iability. The optimization mode l determines the l east cost design. The model is computationally implemented for a case of the Petroleum Authority of Thailand. |
