Abstract

The optimization of gas pipeline networks is critical for efficient and cost-effective transportation of natural gas. This study develops a mathematical model capable of analyzing different network configurations, including branched and branched-cyclic topologies, to explore the optimization of a gas pipeline network conditions. The research provides valuable insights into the gas pipeline network optimization process, empowering industry stakeholders to make informed decisions and enhance performance in terms of efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. To attain these objectives, this study utilizes advanced simulation tools, state-of-the-art optimization algorithms, and sophisticated mathematical models that accurately represent the network's behavior. The optimization process aims to minimize the network's power requirements while simultaneously maximizing gas flowrate and optimizing line pack, ensuring optimal utilization of the pipeline infrastructure. The VIKOR (VIekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje) method is identifying the most optimal network configuration and operating conditions. Our analysis applies this approach to three case studies, demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying the best network configurations. Additionally, the calculations of total cost and fuel consumption coincide with relative closeness which confirm on accuracy of our proposed method whereas optimal scenarios of the three cases have the minimum total cost among all scenarios. In conclusion, this research successfully develops a mathematical model and optimization approach to tackle the complexities of gas pipeline network optimization. The application of The VIKOR method and the analysis of case studies offer substantial evidence of its effectiveness.
