Studies
CARPATHE allows the user: to know the dynamic performance of the network during a exceptionally cold day and to deduce the possible reinforcement investments required to assess the networks ability to serve new customers that were not initially planned to best target the investments to get a accurate inventory of the existing network with the related maps

CARPATHE is an interactive software program that: allows for the updating of the network topology. represents the characteristics of each network type with a range of colors and symbols. assists the input representation. of additional information in windows by graphic

displays all the calculation results, in the interactive mode.

Network exploitation
CARPATHE provides all information on the networks components such as the maneuverable valves. All gas types are taken into account. At the end of the calculation, the user has a graphic display of the results which shows the network, with either ranges of pipe sections flow representation or of pressures at the junctions. This display is an invaluable tool to know and improve the networks sensitive points that are highlighted according to the defined thresholds.

CARPATHE has two specific units, which are especially useful: a mapping unit, which automatically generates maps from data updated by CARPATHE. a database unit, which gives multicriteria access to all the information needed to run a network

This high-performance software is user-friendly and allows the user to: quickly get to important information about the network know the performance of an existing network plan the network reinforcement and extension simulate different hypothesis such as extension, pipe reinforcement, etc. size a new network update the network maps decentralize the technical tasks concerning the evolution planning of the network and the consumption as well as preparatory tasks for reinforcement or extension works , in the short or long term.

CARPATHE has already proved its worth all around the world. It is used by a dozen distribution companies or engineering design departments in Turkey, Greece, Colombia, China, Tunisia, Algeria, Uruguay, Spain, Russia and France.

CARPATHE is the essential tool for a dynamic and descriptive knowledge of your gas distribution networks.
