Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of natural gas pipeline network expansion optimization, and in particular to a multi-gas source pipeline network expansion optimization method considering gas interchangeability. Background Art

[0002] For a long time, the expansion projects of natural gas pipelines have mostly referred to design manuals or formulated design plans based on the experience accumulated by field engineers over the years. This traditional method lacks certain scientific basis, overemphasizes the reliability of natural gas supply, and ignores the economic principle of natural gas pipeline construction. At the same time, under the general trend of natural gas development, more and more pipelines are facing the problem of choosing multiple natural gas sources, but generally only a single pipeline network is used to transport natural gas in the same area, forming a pattern of "mixed gas sources synergistically supplying one network". Traditional methods are difficult to adapt to the design requirements of natural gas pipelines under the multi-gas source pattern.

[0003] The natural gas pipeline network is an important part of the energy system. Its scale and complexity will increase with the increase in demand. When user demand grows over time, the natural gas pipeline network will expand over time to meet the needs of new consumption nodes. For designers and operators, design and expansion decisions must carefully consider the long-term benefits of the pipeline network to meet different needs within the planning scope. A well-designed natural gas network can help natural gas management companies minimize investment and operating costs. With the rapid development of optimization technology, program evaluation technology, and computer technology, it has not only created conditions for optimization and automation in various engineering fields, but also provided the necessary theoretical basis and implementation means for the design and research of natural gas pipeline network expansion. The natural gas pipeline network system is a large system. Due to its complexity and diversity, the workload of its optimization is quite large. It is of great importance and far-reaching significance to deeply study the layout and operation design of natural gas pipeline networks, walk in the forefront of the information and digital era, update the concepts and models of pipeline network design, and achieve the purpose of improving design quality, economic benefits and social benefits.

[0004] Therefore, in the future, with the prospect of diverse gas sources and relatively sufficient supply, the rational use of optimization technology to comprehensively plan the expansion design of the natural gas pipeline network on the basis of considering the interchangeability of gas, so as to meet the pipeline supply pattern and meet the gas demand of users, has very important guiding significance for improving the quality of pipeline network design, economic benefits and social benefits. Summary of the invention

[0005] To solve the problem, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a multi-gas source pipeline network expansion optimization method considering gas interchangeability, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0186] The gas purchase cost of the mixed gas source pipeline expansion project is 895,419,360 yuan / year, and the new node flow distribution and gas purchase cost are shown in Table 9. The nodes that purchase gas from each node to supply gas to the newly added demand nodes still include 1, 22 and 23. Considering that the entry of the new nodes does not affect the gas demand of the original pipeline users, when calculating the gas purchase cost, only the gas distribution problem and gas purchase cost problem of the new nodes are considered. At this time, the calorific value demand of nodes 18, 19 and 20 is met by PNG supplied by gas source node 22, and the LNG supply of node 21 is 38.26kg / s, which comes from gas source node 23 (25.00kg / s) and gas source node 22 (13.27kg / s), respectively. The remaining demand is provided by gas source node 1PNG.
