Presentation: Repairable Component Modeling: Natural Gas Transmission System

NiSource Gas Transmission & Storage is one of the largest natural gas pipeline companies in the United States. The company operates 14,000 miles of transmision pipeline across 17 states and has 37 storage facilities. New production sources (shale gas) and changes in directional gas flow are forcing NiSource to address capacity constraints by improving system reliability. In this presentation John Cox reviews how NGT&S plans to use the PI Infrastructure to manage the data necessary to achieve reliability growth. Based on his recent IEEE paper titled 'Repairable System Modeling of Natural Gas Transmission Networks'
