Abstract: Minicomputers are becoming popular for use in control and data acquisition in gas compressor station. Many articles and papers have been written on the subject. However, the subject was usually a discussion of the minicomputer. While this is a worthwhile and interesting topic, the system discussed in this paper has already been described in several papers and articles. After at least a cursory description of the system, this paper will describe what the minicomputer does in the station and what benefit it is to TransCanada Pipelines personnel. In determining design goals at a compressor station, consideration must be given to the overall objectives or goals of the gas transmission company. The two primary objectives are to deliver contracted volumes of gas in a continuous flow and to minimize operating expenses. These objectives may at least partially be accomplished by proper design of the pipeline, the compression facilities and its associated control schemes.
