Abstract

Transient gas network simulations can significantly assist in design and operational aspects of gas networks. Models used in these simulations require a detailed framework integrating various models of the network constituents ‐ pipes and compressor stations among others. In this context, the port‐Hamiltonian modelling framework provides an energy‐based modelling approach with a port‐based coupling mechanism. This study investigates developing compressor models in an integrated isothermal port‐Hamiltonian model for gas networks. Four different models of compressors are considered and their inclusion in a larger network model is detailed. A numerical implementation for a simple test case is provided to confirm the validity of the proposed model and to highlight their differences.
