Dynamic modeling and linear model predictive control of gas pipeline networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A linear model predictive control (LMPC) strategy is developed for large-scale gas pipeline networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of a representative pipeline is derived from mass balances and the Virial equation of state. Because the full-order model is illconditioned, reduced-order models are constructed using time-scale decomposition arguments. The ®rst reduced-order model is used to represent the plant in closed-loop simulations. The dimension of this model is reduced further to obtain the linear model used for LMPC design. The LMPC controller is formulated to regulate certain pipeline pressures by manipulating production setpoints of cryogenic air separation plants. Both input and output variables are subject to operational constraints. Three methods for handling output constraint infeasibilities are investigated. # 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

متن کاملEffect of Riser-Seabed Interaction on the Dynamic Behavior of Risers
In recent years, the production of oil and gas has been developed in deep water depths which exceed 500m. Deep water developments are being followed strongly in different parts of the world (Caspian Sea, Gulf of Mexico, etc.). The movement of floater causes severe stress at the touchdown point (TDP) in steel catenary risers (SCR). The main objective of this study was to simulate the exact behav...
متن کاملDetailed Scheduling of Tree-like Pipeline Networks with Multiple Refineries
In the oil supply chain, the refined petroleum products are transported by various transportation modes, such as rail, road, vessel and pipeline. The latter provides one of the safest and cheapest ways to connect production areas to local markets. This paper addresses the operational scheduling of a multi-product tree-like pipeline connecting several refineries to multiple distribution centers ...
