Optimization of loop method adjusted for calculation of gas distribution networks

Abstract

Gas distributive network in settlements are usually with contours, which assure that gas is available for consumers from few different directions. By application of concept of looped network least possible number of consumers can remain without gas in the case of malfunction in some branch. But, calculation of these types of networks is much more complicated compared with branch type of network. Here is shown example of one possible way of improvement of iterative procedure during the calculation of network according to Hardy Cross method.
