Detection of "bottlenecks" and ways to overcome emergency situations in gas transportation networks on the example of the European gas pipeline network
The paper presents a technique for detection of "bottlenecks" in gas transportation networks in emergency situations. The described approach makes it possible to formulate the optimal ways to tackle negative consequences for gas consumers. The technique is based on the "Oil and Gas" software developed at Energy Systems Institute SB RAS and is exemplified with the European gas pipeline network. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
