Mixed Integer Linear Programming Optimization of Gas Supply to a Local Market.

ABSTRACT: Remote or stranded areas that cannot be supplied by natural gas through transmission pipelines can access gas through terminals for liquefied natural gas (LNG), from where LNG is distributed by trucks or compressed and regasified into regional distribution networks. The gas supply may be further augmented by local biogas or synthetic natural gas. A model for optimization of such regional gas supply chains is presented in the paper, considering a combination of pipeline and truck delivery to a set of customers with given energy demands. After linearization, the task is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem and is solved by state-of-the-art software. The model is illustrated on a regional energy supply problem considering seasonal variations in the demands. The resu
