SynerGEE® Gas is the premier natural gas network modelling software available today, built to analyse closed conduit networks of pipes, regulators, valves, compressors, storage fields, and production wells. SynerGEE®'s industry-leading steady-state, unsteady-state, and time-varying analysis engines can easily handle systems of 500,000 nodes or more, arming you with the results you need to make crucial planning and operating decisions.

• Make daily operating decisions for load approval and operational support

• Size main extensions and replacements for economy and performance

• Create long-term strategic plans that maximize your existing infrastructure.

A solution for your business

SynerGEE® is a configurable suite consisting of the core steady-state analysis engine and more than a dozen modules that can be independently licensed to meet your operational and planning needs. For example, you can:

• Link SynerGEE Gas to your customer information system - The SynerGEE® Gas Customer Management Module (CMM) links your SynerGEE model system demands with your customer billing data, establishing a relationship among weather data, individual customer loads, and customer location. CMM includes automated customer assignments to reduce your modelling effort, data modelling tools for accurate system modelling, and custom reporting for system planning designs.

• Determine the impact of isolating selected regions of your network - The SynerGEE® Gas Area Isolation Module (AIM) isolates selected areas of your network for emergency planning, maintenance, and other scenarios. AIM shows the impact an isolated or excluded area will have on the remaining network pressures and flows.

• Determine optimum compressor and regulator operations - Designed for gas transmission pipelines, the SynerGEE® Gas Optimisation module helps you determine optimum compressor and regulator operations under steady-state conditions, with the goal of minimizing fuel requirements or total fuel cost while maximizing profitability and total system capacity. It provides you with the analytical capability to understand and plan for the complex dynamics between pipeline operation and pipeline economics. Because managing system linepack is so critical to achieving business objectives, SynerGEE® also includes the Gas Transient Optimisation (GTO) module. GTO is the optimisation tool to use when steady-state assumptions cannot be applied.

• Stay in compliance with system over-pressurisation requirements - The SynerGEE® Gas Regulator Station Module (RSM) helps you comply with DOT Part 192 regulations by verifying the adequacy of your relief valves. The RSM database organises and maintains the large volumes of data inherent with over-pressurisation protection. RSM’s reporting capabilities readily demonstrate results and compliance with regulatory requirements.

• Add SCADA connectivity to your network analysis processes - The SynerGEE® Gas Attune module lets you bring data from your SCADA system historian and then use it in any number of ways. For example, you can compare analysis results to actual system behaviour, drive "what-if" or other operational analyses, a create up-to-the-minute system states that can then be used for transient modelling or optimisation.
