The aim is to verify the design of the new fuel hydrant system and the design of the new fue! farm, The study was carried out by hansaconsult Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH, Germany using Kleopatra ® VS 1.0 under license of hansaconsult ‘The purpose of the hydraulic simulation analysis is to validate and determine: * future flow conditions at the new fuel hydrant system * evaluation of pressure shock risk ‘+ pump capacity and flow rate Furthermore, it is believed that having a simulation model of the fuel facility at present may help to avoid potential design and construction mistakes and may help to better plan for mitigation of potential operational risks. 2 Basic Hydraulic Data ‘The basic data used for hydraulic calculations are as follows: Product yet Ad Density 800 kg/m3 @ 15°C Viscosity 2.5 eSt (20°C) Vapor pressure mbar Pipe dimensions: ‘Schedule STD/40 | 4" (seamless pipe) 114.3x6.02 mm } 6” [seamless pipe) 168.3x7.4imm 8” (seamless pipe) 219.1x8.18 mm 110" (seamless pipe) 273.1 «9.27 mm 12" (seamiess pipe) 323.9x1031 mm 116" (seamless pipe) 323.9 x 12.70 mm 18” (seamiess pipe) 487 x 14.27 mm | 24” (seamless pipe) 610 x 17.48 mm | Roughness of pipes 0.05 mm (internally coated pipes) Flange Pressure Rating ‘ANSI Class 150 Necessary pressure at hydrant pit valves 4-6 bar ‘Table 1: Basic Hydraulic Data 1) ASTM Standard Specification D 165! ication for Aviation Turbine Fuels and JIG Product Specification Bulletin 96 2) Basic construction data for piping installations ~ Vulkan - 15" edition ~ 2006 Page 3 of 14 P586-CPC-WEC-PR-CAL_U0SE- Fuel Hyakant System Fiyaulic Simulation Report 3 Pump Data hansdténsolt ingenias asolschall mbH ‘The number of pumps utilized for the fuel hydrant system is 9 pumps with the following main data: Type: Centrifugal pump Flow Rate: 273 mh Head (assumption): 126m Speed: 2900 min?

Furthermore, pressures, flows and controller activities mutually influence each other at all locations and at all times. Therefore, the results of the study cannot be expressed by a simple mathematical formula. It is necessary to build a simulation model which mimics all physical effects relevant to the problem (and ignores all effects which are not relevant) Each simulation shows the behaviour of a single process. The relevant data such as pressures and flow rates must be shown as functions of time. The evaluation can be carried out by running a large number of simulations at different operating conditions. This methodology has been used in the present study. The simulation model is based on considering a large number of small pipe segments which form the entire hydraulic system. The physical properties of these segments have to be adjusted to the local conditions, as found in the real system. The relevant properties are: © density of product * elasticity of pipe material and product ‘© damping (hydraulic resistance, internal damping) ‘+ elevations Each individual segment of each pipe may be considered as a hydraulic oscillator with its status fully defined by pressure and flow as functions of time and place, Other properties such as temperature and density are assumed to be constant due to the short investigation periods. Energy, mass and momentum balances mathematically describe the interactions between segments. This mathematical description forms a comprehensive system of non-linear differential equations (non-linear damping, cavitation). Numerical solution to this equation system determines the development of pressure and flow as a function of time for all pipe segments under consideration of the initial and boundary conditions. The initial conditions have been set up by presupposing the desired set point of the flow controllers and waiting for establishing of the steady state. The boundary conditions are given by the presupposed actuator speed and pump speed. The simulation model becomes the partial differential equation system which meets exactly the pressure shock theory when - as a hypothetical thought - the number of elements will be increased to infinity, The error caused by the finite size of the segments is controllable and negligible when compared to other possible error sources, ‘The largest error sources are the boundary conditions (particular the valve characteristics and the valve closing speed) as well as the unknown internal damping of the fluid. All simulations have been performed using hansaconsult's dynamic simulator KLEOPATRA® Version 10. 4.1 Assumptions and Simplifications The configuration of the system has been simplified due to the demand on computing power for dynamic simulation. Only the most significant parts of the supply system have been used for the dynamic analysis. The equipment at the fuel depots has been modelled according to the piping design and utilizing typical properties of equipment items specified. Page Sof 14 PA5BE-CPCWEC-PR-CALO0S2- Fuel Hydrant System Hycrauile Simulaion Report hansclSnsult Ingenisurgeselschaft mbH 4.2 Control Circuits and Regulators All controllers have been assumed to be standard PID controllers with suppressed derivative (D) portion {rate time t, = 0} and with limited integral () portion at the low (0) and high (1) level of the controller output. A standard PLC module has been used as a template to model the controller. This module digitally mimics a classical analogue PID controller and is similar in its behaviour to other manufacturers’ PID controllers. Controller outputs have been assumed to impose directly on the associated variables such as valve stem position. Controller parameters used in simulations have only been roughly estimated in order to achieve stable behaviour of closed control loops without further optimizations. 43° Check Valves All check valves have been assumed to close delay-free and damping-free. This means that negative flows through check valves were not possible in the simulation. 4.4 — Valve Characteristic Three basic curves have been investigated: linear, equal percentage according to VDI/VDE 2173, and an assumed “open/close” curve. The latter one has been identified as completely unsuitable and therefore not considered any further. The curves are shown in Figure 1. At relative valve positions below 0.05, the equal percentage curve breaks down because of the fact that it must end up in point (0.0). open/close | as] | oes 7 co pareniags [mT \ Figure 1: Basic forms of valve characteristic Page 8 of 14 PaSEECPCWECPRCALDISI- Fuel Hydrant System Hyarautc Simulation Report hanscSnsult lngenturgeseschat moH In this range, the curve is assumed to be linear. Regarding to the dynamic behaviour of the whole system, the values in this range are particularly important but they are hard to obtain from manufacturers. ‘The closing/opening speed of valves is assumed to be constant due to no better information available. This simplification might be very rough because the true course of the valve stem in time has a large influence on the dynamic behaviour as well as the characteristic curve itself. 45 Material Properties Modulus of elasticity of fluid: Er = 1.8 x 10° N/m* Modulus of elasticity of pipe: Ex = 211 x 10° N/m?. The influence on the speed of sound caused by the pipe elasticity has been calculated as follows: p= density of the fluid (ke/m*) © velocity [m/s] d pipe diameter (m] s =wall thickness {m] The elasticity does not contain any correction factors for dissolved air. Air can significantly support ‘the damping of the surges. Therefore, the assumptions are conservative.

The hydrant system is being fed from the pump station located at the Fuel Farm which is, from the perspective of the hydrant system, a flow source capable to provide 2457 m?/h at approx. 11 bar via two 18” underground feeder pipes for the connection to the existing aprons. Apron E West is being fed by two 10” underground loop lines. directly from the main header inside the fuel farm. The 18” underground feeder pipes are running up to the new Valve Vault 2 and running from there on as 12” underground feeder pipes to the new Valve Vault 3 and connect apron A to the new system, The peak hour fuel demand is given with: 1. With an amount of 2400 m?/h in chapter 2.5.3 of the scope of work 2. AS ATM during peak hour (one way) with 42.6 A/C Based on the above given values a minimum peak hour demand has been determined based on internationally used and recognized utilisation factors. The utilisation factor is a non-dimensional value that defines the ratio between arrival rate and service rate (per time unit). Typically, the gate utilisation factor at conventional airports varies between 0.5 and 0.8, This utilisation factor accounts for demand variability and for the time required to manoeuvre aircraft in and out of gates. The utilisation factor was first established by Horonjeff, R. and McKelvey, F.X. in their design guidelines "Planning and Design of Airports" and later refined and developed by the Federal Aviation Administration under DOT/FAA/ND-95/3 "Vertiport Capacity - Analysis Methods" chapter 4.1.3 and 414. 43 A/C from peak hour forecast multiplied with the gate occupancy time of 30 minutes as an average, divided by 60 minutes and by a factor of 0.8 (peak hour gate utilisation) follows to 26.8 A/C 26.8 A/C divided into 1/3 code E and 2/3 code C aircrafts follows to: code E= 18 code C x 2500lpm = 22500Ipm 18 x 1200lpm = 21600Ipm Total= 44,100lpm = 2646 m?/h theoretical peak hour demand During start and stop of the refuellings, different maximum flow can occur. The determined amount of simultaneous refuellings for the different aircraft codes had been distributed to the aprons as shown in the table below. ‘Apron Aircraft Mix A 3x Code € & 4x Code C | 8 3x Code E & 4x Code C c 2x Code F & 4x Code C E ‘1x Code E & 6x Code C Table 3: A/C mix at various aprons Page Bol 14 'PAEBE-CPC-WECPR-CAL-0O52= Fuel Hycrant System Hydraulic Simulation Report he hansaconsult irgemeunosotchah ‘The peak hour fuel demand is based on the given aircraft mix to WEC by CPC (ref.: Volume 2 - Scope of Work). For the determination of peak hour fuel demand per apron the follo used: 1g data for refuelling were © Code C aircraft with max. 1200 /min © Code E aircraft with max. 2500 I/min 5.2 Pressure Losses in the Hydrant System Pressure losses shall be kept low in order to ensure sufficient working pressure for the dispensers and in the same time not to produce unnecessary energy losses. Usually pressure of approx. 8 bars in the piping system is considered as sufficient for all dispensers available on the market. Modern dispensers work satisfactory even at 2 pressure of 4-6 bars. Pressure losses depend on the actual flow pattern which changes all the time during normal operation. Usually the most critical situation appears when big fuel consumption occurs at far end of the hydrant system (i.e, far away from the hydrant pump station). Typically 1-3 bar pressure loss under such condition can be considered acceptable. The flow velocity shall in general not exceed 2.5 m/s. The printout of the graphical representation of the simulation model can be seen in Appendix 1 (separate sheet for the sake of legibility). This printout reflects the topology of the hydrant network but it should not be confused with a layout drawing and is not to scale. It consists of pipes with fittings, valves and equipment items relevant to the hydraulic behaviour (e. g. dispensers, meters, hoses, pumps etc.) connected at the hydraulic nodes (mainly tees) and forming the entire hydrant network as it exists now or will be extended in the future. Connection points between pipes are called hydraulic nodes and each piece of pipe is located between to such hydraulic nodes: “from node” and “to node”. Each hydraulic node can connect one or more pipes. An example of a hydraulic node is a tee. Pressure values are exposed in the model through a pressure property of a hydraulic node. The model contains following nodes with their steady state pressure values.
