Applied Energy, 2014, vol. 133, issue C, 56-69

Abstract: We consider the problem of designing a new natural gas transmission network or expanding an existing network while minimizing the total investment and operating costs. We develop an integrated large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear optimization model to determine pipelines in the network, compressor stations and their capacities, timings of these installations in a multi-period planning horizon, and natural gas purchase and steady-state flow decisions for each period in the network. The model is solvable using state-of-the-art solution methodologies available online.
