Popis: A dynamic programming based Gas Pipeline Optimizer (GPO) has been developed at Scientific Software-Intercomp for the HBJ gas transmission pipeline system in India. Used as an operating and planning tool, the GPO will determine the discharge pressures at the compressor stations and the number of compressor trains to operate at each compressor station so that fuel consumption and start-up/shut-down costs for the entire HBJ system are minimized under steady state conditions. Further, the optimization will satisfy specified delivery flow rate and minimum delivery pressure requirements at the receiving terminals and ensure that minimum line pack (inventory) requirements are met for each section of the pipeline. Excessive starting and stopping of compressor trains will also be avoided.
