AbstractA dynamic programming approach is used to simulate the operation of a natural gas transmission network. Steady-state gas flow is assumed for the determination of optimal pressure profiles for a radial transmission network . A new generalized computation scheme is used used in the calculation of the steady-state conditions; t al<ing into consideration the variations in the required delivery and supply pressures, changes in flowrates, and the operation of valves and compressors. Each pipe, valve or compressor is modelled by its appropriate equation without the necessity of linearization. The operation of the Onshore Gas Pipeline Network of the Petroleum Authority of Thailand ls presented as a test case to illustrate the feasibility of the model.
