Abstract

In this paper main focus is on forecast of natural gas consumption, which is nowadays increasingly used for heating objects, especially residential, because of its minimal contamination of natural environment. First, it is shown the theoretical introduction and given setting of the problem, then mathematical model for forecast based on simple exponential smoothing method was formed. Numerical verification of mathematical model is performed on simple test gas network. In that purpose, the model for forecast was developed in the C# programming language. The obtained results are presented through diagrams on the basis of which the analysis is performed.
