Abstract
A method for operating a pipeline system includes obtaining sensor data of a gas in the pipeline system from sensors of a sensing unit. The method also includes performing a real-time and closed loop control scheme using the sensor data and a material model of the gas to determine one or more control decisions. The method also includes operating one or more controllable pipeline elements to adjust a temperature, a pressure, a flow rate, or a composition of the gas according to the one or more control decisions.
