Klyun A. Improving the reliability of operation of gas transmission systems on the basis of improving the regulatory framework

In the dissertation work the modern methods, means and technologies of ensuring reliable operation of gas transmission systems were analyzed, and the application of methods and approachesto normative support of production activity of the gas transmission system operator were considered. Approaches to assessing the reliability of gas transmission system facilities were improved and the influence of failure rates of gas transmission system elements on the change of operation duration taking into account service conditions were studied. The influence of regulatory documents on the main technological processes of gas transportation was investigated in the research work; analysis of the life cycle of gas infrastructure facilities based on the European standard EN 16348 was performed; a set of measures was developed to introduce international and European standards in Ukraine that relate to the gas transportation industry; the automated information retrieval system for full-text valid regulatory documents (Hammer system) was established and implemented. Based on the results of the study, an effective standardization system was developed for a new company - LLC “Operator of the Gas Transmission System of Ukraine”, the required number of standards was developed and implemented, and the efficient and reliable operation of the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine was ensured in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine and the requirements of international partners.
