Modeling the US natural gas network
2006 IIE Annual Conference and Exhibition
In order to better understand how the US natural gas network might respond to disruptions, a model was created that represents the network on a regional basis. Natural gas storage for each region is represented as a stock. Transmission between each region is represented as a flow, as is natural gas production, importation, and consumption. Various disruption scenarios were run to test the robustness of the network. The system as modeled proved robust to a variety of disruption scenarios. However, a weakness of the system is that production shortfalls or interruptions cannot be replaced, and demand must therefore be reduced by the amount of the shortfall.
