Abstract

Economic reasons and the regulation of gas markets create a growing need for mathematical optimization of natural gas networks. Real life planning tasks often lead to highly complex and extremely challenging optimization problems whose numerical treatment requires a breakdown into several simplified problems to be solved by carefully chosen hierarchies of models and algorithms. This paper presents stationary NLP type models of gas networks that are primarily designed to include detailed nonlinear physics in the final optimization steps for mid term planning problems after fixing discrete decisions with coarsely approximated physics.
