Optimal Allocation of Gas Supply Reliability in Natural Gas Pipeline System Based on Exterior Penalty Function Method by Yueqi LIU, Lei HOU, Shuaishuai TANG, Huai SU, Xingtao LI

“…,Particle Swarm Optimization) that overlook constraints during iterative updates,this research proposed a novel Exterior Penalty Function Method for optimizing gas supply reliability.This method transformed constraints in the allocation model into penalty function terms,established a revised objective function,and converted the constrained allocation problem into an unconstrained extremum problem.Applying this method to a practical pipeline system,optimal gas supply reliability allocation values were derived.The results demonstrate that the Exterior Penalty Function Method significantly reduces computational time without compromising accuracy.The allocation outcomes exhibit robust convergence and align with engineering practicality.By clarifying the optimized allocation values of unit gas supply reliability and comparing them with the current reliability,the weak units in the gas supply system can be identified,providing a scientific basis for improving the gas supply reliability of pipeline systems.…”
