Systems, methods, and apparatus for predicting impact on a pipeline delivery infrastructure

摘要

Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for predicting impact on a pipeline delivery infrastructure. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided that can include simulating a pipeline delivery infrastructure (134); identifying one or more sections (214) in the infrastructure (134); and forecasting an impact of the infrastructure (134) based on one or more modifications to the infrastructure (134) or on one or more new demand points (304) wherein the forecasting comprises estimating pressures in each of identified one or more sections (214).
