System and method for generating contigency plans for hydrocarbon network management

A system comprising:

• memory to store machine-readable instructions;
• one or more processors to access the memory and execute the machine-readable instructions, the machine-readable instructions comprising:
• a simulation system configured to simulate a hydrocarbon network model to predict hydrocarbon demand, production, and potential disruptions for a hydrocarbon network comprising one or more plants;
• a contingency plan engine configured to:
• generate one or more contingency plans for responding to one or more disruptions in the hydrocarbon network model based on the predicted hydrocarbon demand, production, and potential disruptions, a plant readiness of each of the one or more plants, and switchover difficulty adjustment (SDA) data, the SDA data indicating a difficulty of switching operations from a first plant to a second plant of the one or more plants for responding to one or more disruptions in the hydrocarbon network model;
• identify one of the more contingency plans for responding to a disruption in the hydrocarbon network;
• and
• output the identified contingency plan to a device to respond to the disruption in the hydrogen carbon network.

A system comprising:

• one or more computing platforms configured to:
• generate a hydrocarbon network model representative of a hydrocarbon network comprising one or more plants;
• simulate the hydrocarbon network model to predict hydrocarbon demand, production, and potential disruptions for the hydrocarbon network;
• generate one or more contingency plans for responding to one or more disruptions in the hydrocarbon network model based on the predicted hydrocarbon demand, production, and potential disruptions, and a plant readiness of each of the one or more plants;
• store the generated one or more contingency plans in a contingency plan database;
• retrieve one of the or more contingency plans from the contingency plan database in response to a contingency plan request, the contingency plan request identifying a disruption in the hydrogen carbon network;
• and
• output the retrieved contingency plan to respond to the disruption in the hydrogen carbon network.
