Review on Assessment and Optimization of the Supply Reliability of Natural Gas Networks
As the key link between gas sources and markets,pipeline is the most economical way for large-scale and long-distance transportation of natural gas.In the context of highly interconnected and market-oriented operations within natural gas networks,traditional supply assurance methods will face challenges in adapting to the demand for flexible and efficient resource allocation,which restricts the safety and efficient supply of natural gas networks.Three key issues of gas supply reliability assessment include:supply reliability index,supply reliability model and solving methods of supply reliability model.The current processes and challenges in the field of gas supply reliability at home and abroad are summarized.The current applications of reliability optimization in system planning and design,peak optimization,and demand-side management are reviewed.Furthermore,the prospects and suggestions of gas supply reliability optimization technology is proposed,in the face of the development of artificial intelligence technology,the reform of natural gas market,and the integration of multi-network interconnections.It provides guideline for the evaluation of gas supply reliability assessment and optimization to the natural gas pipeline networks.
