Efficiency of Using Geoinformation Systems in the Design of Gas Distribution and Gas Consumption Networks

The scientific article is devoted to determining the effectiveness of the use of geoinformation systems (GIS) in the design of gas distribution and gas consumption networks. An experiment was carried out on a laboratory stand modeling ring, dead-end and mixed gas networks. The electronic model of a gas network identical to the laboratory stand in the ZuluGaz 10.0 software package, a module for expanding the GIS functionality for calculating gas supply networks designed to solve various industry. A comparative analysis of the results of an experiment and the results obtained during simulation in GIS is carried out. Based on the analysis, a conclusion is made about the accuracy of the GIS results and the feasibility of using GIS for the design of gas distribution and gas consumption systems.
