In gas distribution and transmission networks, advanced analysis is required for decision support to attain optimal operational efficiency. Synergi Gas software assists with daily operating decision-making for load approval and operational support, size main extensions, replacements for economy, and performance.

Feeding GIS Data to Synergi – Process, Solution Overview, Benefits

To help our client transform its GIS data into a Synergi compatible format, UDC developed an extraction tool that utilizes the network trace information from the ArcGIS Utility Network to feed into Synergi – leading to reduced model building and analysis efforts. Data in the GIS must satisfy various validations which ensure its quality and accuracy. By improving our client’s Synergi process they can now provide data-based recommendations more effectively and efficiently with the most current and comprehensive source – the GIS.
