Large natural gas pipeline network optimization with the discrete variables is a question of the nonlinear optimized. Operating agencies have to ensure maximization of the business sector efficiency according the different resource conditions, the selling price and user requirements by the optimization. Based on the analyzing of the GA, SA algorithm's decision variables and the implementation process, a mathematical optimization model is put forward, using GASA combined algorithm, and it applied to carry out the optimization of a large-scale gas pipeline network with 98 nodes, the results shown that the GASA is more reasonable for the pipeline networks with better precision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
