Optimizing transient gas network control for challenging real-world instances using MIP-based heuristics by Hennings, Felix, Hoppmann-Baum, Kai, Zittel, Janina

“…In this paper, we present the latest improvements of our ongoing work to tackle this problem for real-world, large-scale problem instances: By adjusting our mixed-integer non-linear programming model regarding the gas compression capabilities in the network, we reflect the technical limits of the underlying units more accurately while maintaining a similar overall model size. In addition, we introduce a new algorithmic approach that is based on splitting the complexity of the problem by first finding assignments for discrete variables and then determining the continuous variables as locally optimal solution of the corresponding non-linear program. …”
