Predictive earthquake damage modeling for natural gas distribution infrastructure
The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) operates and maintains 48,000 miles of natural gas pipeline, serving over 4.3 million customer accounts. Along with water, electric power, and transportation services, these lifelines serve critical functions throughout multiple communities. Considering …

Predicting corrosion on protected buried steel natural gas distribution pipelines
… to prevent corrosion on its buried steel natural gas pipelines. However, corrosion leaks still occur. This thesis focuses on whether corrosion leaks can be predicted on steel distribution natural gas pipeline that is cathodically protected. By proactively understanding where leaks are most …

An assessment of the performance of high density polyethylene copolymers for natural gas distribution pipes
… pipe by 1985. By that time, polyethylene for gas distribution pipe and fittings will represent some 30% of the total polyethylene pipe market. The performance characteristics of a high density polyethylene are significantly influenced by both molecular weight and type of comonomer; the major …

Subsurface methane migration from natural gas distribution pipelines as affected by soil heterogeneity: field scale experimental and numerical study
With the increased use of natural gas as a transition fuel on the path toward low-carbon energy, safety and environmental concerns from leaking underground natural gas pipelines are becoming more widespread. Pipeline leakage can be catastrophic when flammable mixtures of methane and air accumulate …

Slow crack growth and associated plastic deformation in linear medium-density polyethylene
… of polyethylene (PE) pipe for use in natural gas distribution about twenty years ago, nearly one billion feet of various grades have been installed in North America. Now more than 80% of all pipe installed for natural gas distribution is made of PE, and this percentage is increasing …

Advancing Measurement Techniques and Methods to Improve Methane Emission Estimates from Urban Natural Gas Infrastructure and Inform Mitigation
… of urban CH4 emissions often originate from natural gas infrastructure, presenting a mitigation opportunity. However, the individual drivers of emissions are poorly resolved, with implications for attributing, estimating, and reducing emissions. This dissertation addresses that gap through a …

Planning and Operation of Multi-Vector Energy System with High Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources
… uncertainty in electricity supply. The power-to-gas (P2G) technologies, gas-fired units (GFUs) and demand response programs (DRPs) potentials are practical solutions to overcome these challenges and if exploited it will provide some level of flexibility needed in the system. Hence, to achieve …

Efficiency and Restructuring in Regulated Energy Networks: Evidence from Germany and the US
… well as on data for US electricity DSOs and US gas TSOs. The application to US data can then be used to derive information about business strategies and their success in a sector that is being restructured. The US experience will lead to relevant German policy implications with respect to the …
