Comp. N2 - Differential-algebraic equations with higher index give rise to essentially ill-posed problems. The least-squares collocation by discretizing the pre-image space is not much more computationally expensive than standard collocation methods used in the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations and index-1 differential-algebraic equations. This approach has displayed excellent convergence properties in numerical experiments, however, theoretically, till now convergence could be established merely for regular linear differential-algebraic equations with constant coefficients. We present now an estimate of the instability threshold which serves as the basic key for proving convergence for general regular linear DAEs.

Classically, the purpose of the gas network was the transportation of predominantly natural gas from a supplier to the consumer for long-term scheduled volumes. With the rise of renewable energy sources, gas-fired power plants are often chosen to compensate for the fluctuating nature of the renewables, due to their on-demand power generation capability. Such an only short-term plannable supply and demand setting requires sophisticated simulations of the gas network prior to the dispatch to ensure the supply of all customers for a range of possible scenarios and to prevent damages to the gas network. In this work we describe the modeling of gas networks and present benchmark systems to test implementations and compare new or extended models.

Their behavior is usually described by characteristic diagrams reflecting the connection of the volumetric flow and the enthalpy change or shaft torque. Such models are commonly used for an optimal control of compressors and compressor stations [4, 7] using stationary models for the gas flow through the pipes. For transient simulations of gas networks, simplified compressor models have been studied in [1–3]. Here, we present a transient simulation of gas pipe networks with characteristic diagram models of compressors using a stable network formulation as (partial) differential-algebraic system.

In contrast to classical collocation methods, more collocation points than degrees of freedom for the collocation polynomials are used. Recently, it has been shown that such a least-squares collocation has a regularizing effect for DAEs, in particular for DAEs with higher index. In each time step of the numerical integration, one has to solve a system of nonlinear equations that is nonsmooth due to the regulating elements in the gas networks. We consider four solvers one of which explicitly exploits the inherent nonsmooth nature. Numerical results are given for three different test cases with increasing complexity illustrating the feasibility of the proposed approach to approximate a solution of the DAE and the advantageous performance of the nonsmooth solver that is based on the concept of abs-linearization.
