This work presents a simulation framework to investigate the rigorous transient behavior of integrated systems comprising natural gas and power transmission networks, and a chemical plant whose feedstock is natural gas. This framework entails dynamic models for the gas transmission network and the SynGas plant, and a continuous-time AC-power flow formulation with dispatchable loads. It addresses the following key challenges: (i) analyzing energy and chemical system interdependencies, and their impacts on each other's supply reliability and security; (ii) providing an environment conducive to settling a critical question of how to prioritize the natural gas consumption as fuels of power...
