The integration of different energy systems is receiving increasing attention as a promising
solution to accommodate the rising share of renewable energy sources (RES). The …

Achieving greenhouse gas reduction targets requires an increased share of renewable
energy sources in todays energy systems. The spatial and temporal mismatch between …

The extensive installation of gas-fired power plants in many parts of the world has led
electric systems to depend heavily on reliable gas supplies. The use of gas-fired generators …

With this overview we want to provide a compilation of different models for the description of
gas flow in networks in order to facilitate the introduction to the topic. Special attention is …

Expansion of natural gas networks is a critical process involving substantial capital
expenditures with complex decision-support requirements. Given the nonconvex nature of …

The development of mathematical simulation and optimization models and algorithms for
solving gas transport problems is an active field of research. In order to test and compare …

In this paper we review the relevant literature on mathematical optimization with logical
implications, ie, where constraints can be either active or disabled depending on logical …

In many parts of the world, electric power systems have seen a significant shift toward
generation from renewable energy and natural gas. Because of their ability to flexibly adjust …

Economic reasons and the regulation of gas markets create a growing need for
mathematical optimization of natural gas networks. Real life planning tasks often lead to …

In the literature for mixed integer programming, heuristic algorithms (particularly primal
heuristics) are often considered as stand-alone procedures; in that context, heuristics are …
