| Abstract | Two models are developed for the optimal design of natural gas
pipeline systems. The first model determines the least cost
design of a natural gas pipeline, while the second evaluates a
quantitative measure of reliability which considers the average
volume of gas transported These two models are linked
together to solve a real world problem on the development of the
natural gas pipeline system of gulf of Thailand. As the
reliability of gas supply to the city of Bangkok is a crucial
factor, the viability of constructing a alternative pipeline with
the objective of improving reliability is studied. |
