The work is devoted to the urgent problem of using an alternative energy source of biomethane for gas supply to settlements. The effective use of biomethane in gas supply systems requires scientific substantiation, considering the entire range of technological parameters and operating conditions. The methods of graphs and parametric optimization are used to minimize the total reduced costs to the gas supply system to carry out the research. Based on the analysis of gas consumption by the municipal districts of the Belgorod region, a graphical dependence is built and an expression is obtained to determine the annual gas consumption by the population on the population size. The calculation of the mass of organic waste and the density of substrate formation is made, on the basis of which the potential for biomethane production in the municipal districts of the Belgorod region is determined. It has been established that the potential volume of biomethane in the Belgorod region is 633194 thousand m3 / year, or 11% of the total gas consumption. A diagram of the location of biomethane plants and gas pipelines for supplying biomethane to gas networks has been built. The optimal values of the technological parameters of the biomethane gas supply system have been established: the operating range of the biomethane plant depending on the substrate formation density, the length of the gas network for biomethane supply, depending on the gas consumption density.

The main source of energy in the economy is gas fuel. The specific weight of natural gas in the fuel and energy balance is about 50%. †The main requirement for the gas distribution system is to ensure the reliability, safety of this system. One of the ways to improve the reliability of gas supply systems is to use the reliability of automatic equipment to determine the gas contamination of premises. Based on the analysis of calculation formulas, an algorithm for the hydraulic calculation of gas pipelines is compiled. Based on the characteristics of gas distribution systems, it is advisable to apply such a solution, when gas supply of domestic consumers, boiler houses of municipal agricultural enterprises is carried out from the distribution network of high and medium pressure through autonomous combined pressure regulators installed in areas of high-rise buildings.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is rather competitive and can act as an alternative fuel. Zone determination for economically expedient use of this energy resource is a necessary prerequisite for solving an important task - providing consumers with gas fuel. Development of scientific bases of calculation and design of autonomous gas supply systems on the basis of liquefied natural gas is an urgent scientific and technical task that takes into account the variability of the determining factors and characteristics of the modern gas supply systems. This requires a comprehensive solution of a number of problems, the main ones are a method for the optimal functioning of the autonomous gas supply systems; development of a method for determining the optimal location of the LNG plant ; development of methods of calculation of key parameters of natural gas in the transportation scheme and the use of LNG; technical-economic substantiation of expediency of application of the developed technical solutions in the field of autonomous gas supply, remote from the gas network. The article presents the results of technical and economic studies of gas distribution systems based on liquefied natural gas, proposed a numerical algorithm and its computer implementation to determine the location of the plant for liquefying gas. Conducted calculations and comparative analysis show that LNG-based gas supply systems will provide fuel for consumers located at considerable distance from the source of gas supply (main gas pipeline or gas distribution station).

Investigation of the structure and the functional patterns of the regional gas supply systems is necessary for addressing a number of operational tasks, the main ones being the following: preparing requisitions for the planned volume of gas deliveries, project design for development and reconstruction of gas supply systems and gas storage facilities, developing of functional gas tariffs for different groups of customers. The regional gas supply system is considered from the standpoint of system analysis and presented as a complex dynamic system consisting of several subsystems. The balance structure of gas consumption in the region for the ten-year period and the patterns of daily gas consumption in the region depending on the average daily outdoor temperature for the two-year period have been studied. It is discovered that the power economy, industry and agriculture account for the largest share in the total gas consumption. The values of correlation coefficients between the outdoor air temperature and gas flow rate according to the elements of the balance structure are calculated. For the daily values of gas consumption for the needs of the population and housing-and-communal services, the highest correlation coefficient between the studied characteristics R is noted = (–0,98‒(–0,96)). Analysis of the matching fields of daily gas consumption in the region to the daily average temperature over a given one-year timeframe made it possible to identified two key areas, viz.: the area of operation of the heating system and the area of positive temperatures (the cheating system is off). For each of the areas, the dependences of the daily gas flow rate on the temperature and the effect of temperature changes on the gas consumption alteration were determined. It was found out that the temperature range from 0 to 10 °C corresponds to the zone of uncertain state of the regional gas supply system, since two areas overlap in this zone, viz.: the area of operation of the heating system and the area of positive temperatures.

The paper proposes the optimum distribution of the differential pressure between gas supply system sections and gas consumption, depending on the settlement planning and development. This provides a 10–15 % reduction in metal and material consumption of gas supply systems and a 4–5 % cost reduction. The hydraulic analysis of differential pressure distribution does not allow to purposefully distribute the calculated pressure drop. The pipeline diameter is usually selected according to the estimated gas flow rate and specific pressure loss per unit length of gas supply system sections. Then, in accordance with the State standard, the condition of compliance and non-exceedance of the obtained differential pressure is checked with the standard value. If this condition is not met, the pipeline diameter is adjusted for design reasons.This work conducts additional research into the differential pressure distribution between gas supply system sections. Materials and methods include the assessment methodology for the effectiveness of differential pressure distribution between gas supply system sections.Although many publications are devoted to the optimization of gas pressure distribution systems, the proposed solutions and the recommendations developed in this paper are fragmentary, often contradictory, since they do not consider the completeness and diversity of strategic factors.The paper shows that the pressure loss values obtained for domestic gas-based units with a reduced nominal pressure, are much less than those given in regulatory documents. According to the analysis, the settlement development, population density in gas-supplied territories, and technical conditions of gas-supplied buildings, have a decisive influence on the unit costs of gas supply systems.

There are investigated the influence of operating pressures in the gas supply system on the level of such energy indicators as efficiency, gas flow and gas overrun by gas equipment in residential buildings. There is established a relationship between the values of operating pressures in the gas supply system and the gas consumption level of household appliances. The causes of insufficient pressure in the gas networks of settlements are analyzed in the article. There is also developed an algorithm for calculating the change in the efficiency of gas appliances depending on the operational parameters of the gas network. It has been found that the most efficient operation of gas appliances is observed at an overpressure at the inlet of gas appliances of about 1200 Pa.To ensure the required quality of natural gas combustion among consumers and minimize gas consumption there are justified the following measures in the article: coordinating a domestic regulatory framework for assessing the quality of natural gas with international norms and standards; improving the preparation of gas coming from local wells before supplying it to gas distribution networks; auditing low pressure gas pipelines and reconstructing areas affected by corrosion; ensuring standard gas pressure in the network for the normal operation of domestic gas appliances; stating quality indicators of natural gas combustion by gas sales organizations.

AbstractThe successful implementation of smart metering in the European Union (hereinafter – EU) depends on criteria that are mostly determined by the Member States themselves. These criteria cover the regulatory framework and legislation necessary for the establishment and functioning of the smart metering system, the fulfilment of technical and commercial conditions, as well as the security of data collection, archiving and use. The introduction of the smart metering in different Member States has started at different times. In Latvia, its reference point was 2004, when the goal was set to maximise the use of telemetry in the natural gas metering. Currently, in the Latvian natural gas distribution system about 85 % of all consumption data are automatically processed.One of the most important components of the smart natural gas metering is natural gas commercial metering devices (hereinafter – smart meters). They differ in both the principle and type of operation. Depending on the technology used, the metering range changes, and thus the accuracy of the measurements.The article addresses some issues of further successful implementation of smart metering in the Latvian natural gas sector, as well as the measurement accuracy for smart natural gas meters.

This paper proposes taking into account new properties of gas supply systems in a mathematical model of flow distribution in comparison with the traditional formulation. The approach suggests introducing an arc coefficient, which allows for changes in the magnitude of gas flow passing along the arc, a vector of an increase in the arc throughput, and lower constraints on the gas flow along the arc. We also propose considering a new economic environment, namely, new criteria for optimizing the flow distribution and setting fictitious gas prices for consumers. These criteria enable us to take account of the priority gas supply to a definite group of consumers. As an example, the calculation of gas flows for the aggregated Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS) for 2030 is considered. This calculation takes into account the arc coefficients and the increase in the throughput of arcs.
