摘要
A methodology for allocating natural gas is presented. The model consists of several objective functions, a set of linear constraints, and a set of nonlinear constraints. The objective functions represent allocation in various categories and can be optimized sequentially. The linear constraints represent the conservation of flow equations for the pipeline network and various accounting relationships. The nonlinear constraints represent the momentum balance necessary for each pipe segment, compressor, or valve. The nonlinear constraints are linearized in a method similar to the method of approximate programming (MAP). A matrix generator is used to create the necessary files for the program execution. The authors solve example problems with over 250 linear constraints, 240 nonlinear constraints, and 800 structural columns.
