TY - JOUR A1 - RĂ¼diger, Jens T1 - Enhancements of the numerical simulation algorithm for natural gas networks based on node potential analysis JF - IFAC-PapersOnLine N2 - A reliable energy supply for the economy of every country is a matter of national importance. Powerful simulation tools for natural gas networks are essential for operators of gas networks. In this paper, enhancement algorithms of previous developed node potential analysis algorithm are presented. These enhancement algorithms are used for a reasonable setting of initial values in the numerical gas net simulation algorithm. The setting of the initial values has a significant influence on the convergence behavior of the numerical simulation. The presented enhancement algorithms are explained and simulation results are evaluated.
