Optimal control of compressor stations in a coupled gas to power network

Abstract

We introduce a tool for simulation and optimization of gas pipeline networks coupled to power grids by gas-to-power plants. The model under consideration consists of the isentropic Euler equations to describe the gas flow coupled to the AC powerflow equations. A compressor station is installed to control the gas pressure such that certain bounds are satisfied. A numerical case study is presented that showcases effects of fast changes in power demand on gas pipelines and necessary operator actions.
