We describe a two-stage approach to solve the resulting complex and numerically difficult feasibility problem. The first phase consists of four distinct algorithms applying linear, and methods for complementarity constraints to compute possible settings for the discrete decisions. The second phase employs a precise continuous programming model of the gas network. Using this setup, we are able to compute high quality solutions to real-world industrial instances that are significantly larger than networks that have appeared in the mathematical programming literature before.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MartinGeisslerHeynetal.2011, author = {Martin, Alexander and Geißler, Bj{\"o}rn and Heyn, Christine and Hiller, Benjamin and Humpola, Jesco and Koch, Thorsten and Lehmann, Thomas and Morsi, Antonio and Pfetsch, Marc and Schewe, Lars and Schmidt, Martin and Schultz, R{\"u}diger and Schwarz, Robert and Schweiger, Jonas and Steinbach, Marc and Willert, Bernhard}, title = {Optimierung Technischer Kapazit{\"a}ten in Gasnetzen}, series = {Optimierung in der Energiewirtschaft}, booktitle = {Optimierung in der Energiewirtschaft}, publisher = {VDI-Verlag, D{\"u}sseldorf}, pages = {105 -- 114}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{KochSchmidtHilleretal., author = {Koch, Thorsten and Schmidt, Martin and Hiller, Benjamin and Pfetsch, Marc and Geißler, Bj{\"o}rn and Henrion, Ren{\´e} and Joormann, Imke and Martin, Alexander and Morsi, Antonio and R{\"o}misch, Werner and Schewe, Lars and Schultz, R{\"u}diger}, title = {Capacity Evaluation for Large-Scale Gas Networks}, series = {German Success Stories in Industrial Mathematics}, volume = {35}, journal = {German Success Stories in Industrial Mathematics}, isbn = {978-3-030-81454-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-81455-7}, pages = {23 -- 28}, language = {en} }
