Chapter 10: The precise NLP model
Martin H. Schmidt, Marc Christian Steinbach, Bernhard M. Willert · Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics eBooks · 2015
In this chapter we describe a highly detailed nonlinear program (NLP) of gas networks for the case of fixed discrete decisions. By including nonlinear physics and a detailed description of the technical network devices, a level of accuracy is reached that is comparable to current commercial simulation software. Our NLP model is used to validate the solutions of the previously described models. A successful validation provides a solution of the underlying mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP).
