This paper presents a co-optimization planning model that considers the long-term interdependency of natural gas and electricity infrastructures. The model incorporates the natural gas transportation planning objective in the co-optimization planning…
Global electricity generation from natural gas is expected to continue in an upward trend in the coming years thereby increasing the interdependency between the electricity and the Natural gas transportation system. The reliability concerns…
With the growth in natural gas usage, the optimization of gas pipeline transportation becomes increasingly important. Here we propose employing a Linear-Analog method for linearizing the Weymouth flow constraint in gas network optimization. We show…
This paper aims at modeling and optimizing a Middle East-based commercial natural gas liquid (NGL) recovery and fractionation plant, using a predictive process simulator. NGL units are known to be highly energy-intensive as steam-based heating and…
This paper presents a surrogate-assisted framework to solve constrained black-box optimization problems, which is applied to the optimal single-mixed refrigerant natural gas liquefaction processes design. This approach uses kriging models as…
