An Energy Approach to Studying Pipe Network Transients
Year: 2014
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The current study discusses the benefits of combining an integrated, system-wide energy approach with conventional transient analyses from the perspective of anticipating, modelling, understanding, and mitigating the negative impacts of transient flows. A case study comprising a pumping pipeline demonstrates how an energy approach provides additional perspective and leads to a better understanding of the underlying transient behavior, and understanding that can lead to a more efficient selection of protection strategy. This study is nicely complementary to conventional approaches, and highlights the insights and checks that are sometimes available by using an energy approach to track system transformations and system states.
