Computational optimization of gas compressor stations: MINLP models versus continuous reformulations
When considering cost-optimal operation of gas transport networks, compressor stations play the most important role. Proper modeling of these stations leads to complicated mixed-integer nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problems. In this article, we give an isothermal and stationary description of compressor stations, state MINLP and GDP models for operating a single station, and discuss sev...
متن کاملContinuous Reformulations of Discrete-Continuous Optimization Problems
This paper treats the solution of nonlinear optimization problems involving discrete decision variables, also known as generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) or mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems, that arise in process engineering. The key idea is to eliminate the discrete decision variables by adding a set of continuous variables and constraints that represent the discrete...
متن کاملGeothermal Energy for Natural Gas Compressor Stations; an Environmental and Economical Assessment
Iran’s environmental condition is critical, since it is experiencing desertification, unsustainable development and overpopulation. The objective of this study is power source replacement in natural gas stations that operate with natural gas compressors, through using electrical motors, which can be fed by a 160 MW geothermal power plant, as an alternative to gas turbines. Application of such a...
متن کاملMinlp Optimization of Steel Frames
ABSTRACT: The paper presents the discrete dimension optimization of unbraced rigid steel plane frames. The optimization of steel frames was carried out by the Mixed-Integer Non-linear Programming (MINLP) approach. The MINLP is a combined discrete-continuous optimization technique. It performs the discrete optimization of discrete decisions simultaneously with the continuous optimization of cont...
متن کاملRobust and Stochastically Weighted Multiobjective Optimization Models and Reformulations
We introduce and study a family of models for multi-expert multi-objective/criteria decision making. These models use a concept of weight robustness to generate a risk averse decision. In particular, the multi-expert multi-criteria robust weighted sum approach (McRow) introduced in this paper identifies a (robust) Pareto optimum decision that minimizes the worst case weighted sum of objectives ...
