TY - GEN A1 - Ehrhardt, Klaus A1 - Steinbach, Marc T1 - Nonlinear Optimization in Gas Networks N2 - The operative planning problem in natural gas distribution networks is addressed. An optimization model focusing on the governing PDE and other nonlinear aspects is presented together with a suitable discretization for transient optimization in large networks by SQP methods. Computational results for a range of related dynamic test problems demonstrate the viability of the approach.
