Gas transport networks: Entry–exit tariffs via least squares methodology

Gas transmission networks in Europe: Connections between different entry-exit tariff methodologies

“…This contrasts with the common practice nowadays, since most of the papers and regulations, including FG-2013, rely mainly on unweighted methodologies [6][7][8][9]. Two exceptions are Bermúdez et al [10] and NC-2016.…”

“…4 This paper contributes to the literature on tariff design by studying the capacity-weighted distance and the least squares approaches. The latter has already been studied before [7,9,10], but we do not know of any formal analysis of the former one.…”

“…One of the main goals of this paper is to discuss the connections between two different entry-exit methodologies: the capacityweighted distance approach and the least squares approach [6,7,9,10]. Although both of them were discussed in FG-2013, only the former appears in NC-2016.…”

“…Since the matrix approach has already been widely discussed in the literature under the name of least squares approach, the present paper also sticks to this name. For some papers on this methodology the reader may refer, for instance, to Deliberata [6], Alonso et al [7], National Energy Comission of Spain [8], Apolinário et al [9], and Bermúdez et al [10].…”

Locational Marginal Pricing of Natural Gas subject to Engineering Constraints

“…In contrast, with the exception of the market in the Australian province of Victoria [14], the use of physics-based optimization to clear natural gas markets remains a topic of research [15], [16]. Developing locational pricing mechanisms for natural gas is challenging because of complex physical and engineering factors of pipeline hydraulic modeling and optimization [17], [18].…”
