Publisher's Synopsis

This book addresses a seemingly simple question: can a certain amount of gas be transported within a pipeline network? The question is difficult, however, when asked in relation to a meshed nationwide gas transportation network and when taking into account technical details and discrete decisions, as well as regulations, contracts, and varying demands involved.

Evaluating Gas Network Capacities provides an introduction to the field of gas transportation planning and discusses in detail the advantages and disadvantages of several mathematical models that address gas transport within the context of the technical and regulatory framework. It shows how to solve the models using sophisticated mathematical optimization algorithms and includes examples of large-scale applications of mathematical optimization to this real-world industrial problem.

Readers will also find a glossary of gas transport terms, tables listing the physical and technical quantities and constants used throughout the book, and a reference list of regulation and gas business literature.
