A distribution planning model for natural gas supply chain: A case study

A multi-objective fuzzy linear programming model for optimization of natural gas supply chain through a greenhouse gas reduction approach

“…Contesse et al (2005) considered a multiperiod mix integer linear model for the gas supply chain at three levels of producers, transmission companies and local distribution companies. Hamedi et al (2009) proposed a single-objective, multi-period mix integer nonlinear mathematical model for multi-echelon gas supply chain and solved their intended distribution programming using a hierarchical algorithm. Vasconcelos et al (2013) worked on the modeling of flow in gas pipelines and obtained maximum network flow using a linear mathematical programming and Brazil's database.…”

Development of natural gas flow rate in pipeline networks based on unsteady state Weymouth equation

“…As the Weymouth equation is commonly used for high pressure, high flow rate, and large diameter gas gathering systems, therefore, in this research we would only consider Weymouth equation. There are some assumptions in Weymouth equation such as no kinetic energy change, no mechanical work, isothermal flow, constant compressible factor, and steady flow (Osiadacz and Chaczykowski, 2001;Langelandsvik et al, 2005;Shashi Menon, 2005;Davidson et al, 2006;Coelho and Pinho, 2007;Kabirian and Hemmati, 2007;Abbaspour and Chapman, 2008;Chaczykowski, 2009Chaczykowski, , 2010Hamedi et al, 2009;Olatunde et al, 2012;Farzaneh-Gord and Rahbari, 2016). These consumptions can affect the accuracy of a result.…”

Process Supply Chains Management – Where are We? Where to Go Next?

“…Also, Almansoori and Shah (2006) addressed the design of hydrogen SCs where an UK base-case was solved. On the gas SCs, three works were identified: Hamedi et al (2009) and You et al (2011a,b) that studied the distribution planning problem. In the later apart from distribution problem also inventory planning was considered under an uncertain environment.…”
