Patent number: 9470591Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems and methods for evaluating pipeline using GIS data. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for evaluating pipeline using geographical information system (GIS) data. The method can include receiving component information from a GIS database for one or more components in a pipeline; determining a modified maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOPm) for the one or more components; determining an uprating pressure (MAOPm*) that the one or more components can withstand; and outputting a upgrade recommendation or an uprate recommendation based at least in part on the MAOPm and the MAOPm*.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Vinoth Kumar Mohan, Kavitha Andoji, Christophe Faucherand

Patent number: 8660821Abstract: A method for use in designing a utility network to provide a utility to a geographic area. A computer system determines a demand point within the geographic area at which to provide the utility. The computer system also determines a source point to provide the utility to the utility network. A connection path through the geographic area is determined, connecting the source point to the demand point. In addition, a bill of materials may be generated, indicating a set of equipment required to convey the utility from the source point to the demand point along the determined connection path.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Kavitha Andoji, Bhargav J. Oza, Bhaskar Praveen Vepakomma, Prem Swaroop Sadineedi
