Abstract

This invention provides a method and system for rapid pipeline network modeling. Based on the data characteristics of associated multi-source pipeline network data and the modeling data conditions for the application, the method designs standard templates covering the requirements of numerical models for both injection and collection / transmission pipeline networks. According to the required modeling data conditions, pipeline source data is extracted from a multi-source database and stored in the standard templates. The integrity and validity of the data in each sub-template are verified according to preset modeling conditions, and anomalies are overcome. Finally, the source data that meets the conditions is loaded into a pre-drawn pipeline topology structure to obtain the pipeline network numerical model. This approach overcomes the problems of cumbersome processing, insufficient accuracy, and long processing times in existing technologies. It organically combines data processing and transformation, topology drawing, data updating, and pipeline network modeling techniques, enabling rapid construction and flexible updating of pipeline network models. While ensuring the accuracy and matching degree of relevant data in pipeline network modeling, it also makes the pre- and post-processing of the model fast and efficient.
