    <title language="eng">A System to Evaluate Gas Network Capacities: Concepts and Implementation</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In 2005 the European Union liberalized the gas market with a disruptive change&#13;
and decoupled trading of natural gas from its transport. The gas is now trans-&#13;
ported by independent so-called transmissions system operators or TSOs. The&#13;
market model established by the European Union views the gas transmission&#13;
network as a black box, providing shippers (gas traders and consumers) the&#13;
opportunity to transport gas from any entry to any exit. TSOs are required&#13;
to offer the maximum possible capacities at each entry and exit such that any&#13;
resulting gas flow can be realized by the network. The revenue from selling these&#13;
capacities more than one billion Euro in Germany alone, but overestimating the&#13;
capacity might compromise the security of supply. Therefore, evaluating the&#13;
available transport capacities is extremely important to the TSOs.&#13;
This is a report on a large project in mathematical optimization, set out&#13;
to develop a new toolset for evaluating gas network capacities. The goals and&#13;
the challenges as they occurred in the project are described, as well as the&#13;
developments and design decisions taken to meet the requirements.</abstract>
