    Optimization of Dynamic Performance of Gas Transmission Networks

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Ahmadian Behrooz, Hesam (Author) ; Bozorgmehry, Ramin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this work, a non-isothermal model of natural gas in pipelines including mass, momentum and energy balance equations are used as model equations for modeling and state estimation in gas pipeline systems. An algorithm is proposed to handle the discontinuities that appear in the dynamic model of a GTN. The states of GTN are estimated using the continuous/discrete form of the extended Kalman filter for two benchmarks and some heuristic rules for sensor placement in a GTN are concluded. Also, a framework for distributed and decentralized state estimation in high-pressure and long-distance gas transmission networks (GTNs) is proposed. Some heuristic rules are suggested for system decomposition... 

    Modeling and state estimation for gas transmission networks

    , Article Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering ; Volume 22 , 2015 , Pages 551-570 ; 18755100 (ISSN) Ahmadian Behrooz, H ; Bozorgmehry Boozarjomehry, R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper, a non-isothermal model of natural gas in pipelines including mass, momentum and energy balance equations are used as model equations for modeling and state estimation in gas pipeline systems. It is shown that differential equations describing the dynamic behavior of a high-pressure and long-distance gas transmission network (GTN) can be solved efficiently using the orthogonal collocation method. The issues corresponding to the presence of discontinuities in the dynamic model is substantially discussed and studied. The non-isothermal model of a GTN can experience discontinuities during transient operations, which causes challenges in simulation and state estimation in this... 

    Dynamic optimization of natural gas networks under customer demand uncertainties

    , Article Energy ; Volume 134 , 2017 , Pages 968-983 ; 03605442 (ISSN) Ahmadian Behrooz, H ; Bozorgmehry Boozarjomehry, R ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In natural gas transmission networks, the efficiency of daily operation is strongly dependent on our knowledge about the customer future demands. Unavailability of accurate demand forecasts makes it more important to be able to characterize the loads and quantify the corresponding uncertainty. A planning strategy for natural gas transmission networks under future demand uncertainty is addressed, which involves coupling of a gas transmission network dynamic simulator with the stochastic optimization framework. Loads from a gas-fired power plant are studied where the loads are characterized by a number of uncertain parameters, and unscented transform is utilized for uncertainty propagation....
