Capacity Planning for Natural Gas Transmission Networks |
Description: |
Jesco Humpola We present a procedure for capacity planning of large-scale real-world natural gas distribution networks. It decides which combination of network extensions such as additional pipelines, compressors or valves should be added to increase the network's capacity or enhance its operational flexibility. We formulate this as a mixed-integer nonlinear problem. A sub-problem has different convex reformulations. Hence we use a combination of linear outer approximation and NLP solution techniques to solve the MINLP. We show that every dual solution of the convex reformulations allows to generate capacity inequalities (or cutting planes) which reduce the overall solution time when added to the formulation. The dual solution also enables the measurement of infeasibility level of the scenario. Furthermore we give a primal heuristic for our model. We present computational results that are obtained by a special tailored version of the solvers SCIP and IPOPT. |

Circuit and bond polytopes in series-parallel graphs |
Description: |
Mathieu Lacroix We describe the circuit polytope in series-parallel graphs. We show the existence of a compact extended formulation for the latter, which inductively provides the description in the original space. As a consequence, using the link between bonds and circuits in planar graphs, we also describe the bond polytope in series-parallel graphs.This is a joint work with S. Borne, R. Grappe, P. Fouilhoux and P. Pesneau. |
