An approximately tenfold increase in safety work on PG&E's gas system has resulted in an unprecedented amount of hydraulic analyses workload. The BAT technology represents a major shift in the way planning engineers typically perform analyses. BAT has helped PG&E respond to the high level of workload by increasing engineer efficiency while providing system intelligence to enable safety work to proceed and ensuring reliable service to customers. GTS's development of a user-friendly interface was a key component of engineer acceptance of the technology. This user interface, combined with PG&E's programming of the connection to Solver, has provided a substantial and highly beneficial new approach to pipeline simulation.
