Abstract
Particular emphasis is given to the interest in network simulation expedients (skeletonization, load consolidation, and assumed pipe resistance factors). An approach to fulfilling the research need is presented which consists of building detailed models of actual but representative grid systems, verifying the performance of the models, and using them as research tools to investigate the impact of various simplifying assumptions often made in network modeling.
