Nonlinear Optimization in Gas Networks
Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-7687
- 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.
