In the period of shortage of gas supply, special attention is given to reducing the supply of gas to its consumers, that is, their complete and uninterrupted gas supply. Increasing gas losses associated with technological transportation costs, in particular caused by gas flow instability and frequent changes in gas transmission network operating modes. Considering losses due to unreliability of gas pumping is one of the important tasks of gas supply optimization. The purpose of the study is to develop an optimization mathematical model that will simultaneously take into account the factors of reliability and minimum lossesIn the general case, the optimization calculations of the modes of operation of the main gas pipelines are intended to solve three main problems: determining the maximum productivity, calculating the optimal mode with a given productivity and choosing the optimal strategy, the development of the pipeline. On the basis of approaches of simulation modeling of complex systems, a multi-parameter mathematical model of gas supply process optimization was developed. It is shown that a comparative analysis of the forecast and actual indicators of the operating modes of the plunger gas pumping unit shows their satisfactory convergence. The performance of the compressor operation period in the process of injection according to the forecast deviates from the actual value for the whole period of operation of the plunger gas pumping unit in 2016 by 2.98%. The optimization problem of gas pumping planning is considered, taking into account the expected losses, on the basis of which the transfer of the controlled system from the initial state to the final one is carried out by such a sequence of states that minimizes the total cost of the system evolution.
The management process of the gas-main pipelines' technical state that includes different-type constituent elements and has a complex multihole and looped structure is considered. The task falls under the optimization category of the maintenance process. The study aims to optimize the preventive overhaul graph of the gas supply system that includes independent subsystems. An optimum schedule of maintenance service will be determined by selection condition of the timepoint values that provide with the quality indicators' extremum of the functioning of the process facility complex within a centralized service of gas supply system. It was suggested the technical-and-economic index, in particular the average summarized unit costs to system operation, be used as a criterion for the optimality of maintenance process. The characteristic curve obtained from conducted studies provides a way to estimate the maintenance states of the complicated gas supply system that includes different-type, geographically distributed but functionally interlinked process facilities of the gas supply system in the region of the central maintenance and repair base, they give an opportunity to plan an optimum schedule of the preventive overhaul of the gas supply system.
General principles of the spare parts amount selection when operating gas supply systems for renewable and non-renewable elements have been developed. Nomenclature is considered as a list of numbers and names of reserve instruments and equipment, which is compiled in accordance with a certain grouping and sequencing according to the producing plants technical documentation and which includes mechanical details, assemblies, and aggregates. The assessment criteria of the spare parts set sufficiency have been chosen based on the condition of the sufficient system operation reliability which is based on the estimates of the failure emergence probability during the period of regular element removals. The demand for spare parts and materials is of random nature and it is considered as a stable process which is described by the Poisson’s distribution. The calculation principle comes down to determining the possibility of the fact that all the service channels and waiting spaces in the mechanism will be filled in accordance with the queuing theory. The technique for spare parts amount selection when operating gas supply systems has been developed eventually.
The classification of failures and damages of the linear part and its separate elements is carried out, variants of technology of carrying out of preventive and repair-restoration works and modular-technological structure of repair and maintenance units are formulated. Particular attention is paid to improving the efficiency of the operation of a separate repair and maintenance unit during maintenance and repair with a known layout scheme and a certain mode of control and restoration works by choosing the optimal technology of work and rational equipment of units and crews leaving for the route. On the basis of the analysis of the technology of work execution it is shown that only a small part of the repair and maintenance measures requires the use of powerful machinery and equipment, which include the first level of priority work on the replacement of gas pipeline sections, work, damage elimination, work on elimination of significant pipeline displacements, work for restoration of soil collapse of the main gas pipeline. In addition, each type of work on the objects of the linear part requires the use of the same vehicles. The type and number of vehicles depend on the particular operating conditions, as well as on the possibility and feasibility of purchasing and operating a particular type of equipment. The method of estimation of indexes of maintenance of linear part of main gas pipelines and efficiency of functioning of repair and maintenance units during maintenance and repair is developed.
