Game-theoretic model of system reliability of a multiple pipeline
Reliability is one of the basic properties of the main pipelines influencing not only their through-put capacity but also security of petroleum products transportation. However, the problem of the optimal distribution of the transported products flows between the parallel sectors of the multi-line pipelines with account of their real technical condition and external loads hasn't been discussed by now. The article suggests a game-theoretic model of the system reliability of a multiple pipeline containing the elements of strength, hydraulic and probabilistic models. To guarantee the left life-time operational period of the system, the problem of the transported product optimal distribution among the multiline pipeline's parallel sectors is solved. Calculation for a duplex system is made.
