In the transmission and distribution system of urban gas networks, valve rooms are typically located on high-pressure ring networks or main pipelines, playing crucial roles in gas source allocation, operational condition adjustment, and emergency response. As societal demands for safe and reliable urban gas supply continue to rise and the industry’s level of automation advances, control strategies for valve rooms have gradually shifted from manual operation to remote control. However, remote control of valve rooms involves the coordinated interaction among SCADA systems, remote terminal units (RTUs), remote?actuated actuators, and the valves themselves, making it a complex, system?level undertaking that requires the development of full?lifecycle management strategies to ensure the stable, effective, safe, and reliable performance of valve room remote control functions. This paper summarizes and discusses corresponding management strategies across three dimensions—construction, application, and safety protection—aiming to provide practical guidance and reference value for the wider adoption and promotion of valve room remote control technology in the urban gas sector.
