Abstract: Public and private gas distribution/transmission agencies, districts, and companies require the control of resources and facilities for a variety of purposes, as listed in Figure 1. These purposes vary in relative importance with each agency and with each application. Eariy in the overall project, these items should be developed in more detail and the benefits quantified wherever possible in order to justify the system costs to management and governing boards. Control systems to meet the above needs generally fall into several industry-defined categories, as listed in Figure 2. These categories include data acquisition only, supervisory control with data acquisition (SCADA), and advanced application systems. These systems may be used for such purposes as gas dispatching, pipeline automation, gas plant control, storage field automation, compressor automation, custody transfer metering, network simulation, etc. Typically, applications require the centralized control and monitoring of a system covering either a plant complex or system operation over an extensive geographic area.
