A METHOD for OPTIMAL CONFIGURATION of GATHERING
PIPELINE NETWORKS
by Dr Miklos Pance, University of Miskolc
Institute of Information Science
Department of Information Technology
-----------------------------------------------
Abstract:
Given in the plane N points (sources) from which
some material has to be transported to a gathering
station (sink) by means of pipes. The task is to
determine the coordinates of this sink and the
routes of pipe segments so that the capital cost
of the gathering network should be optimal. It is
supposed that the building of pipes is nearly at
the same time, or joint channels are applied.
Building the pipes partly on the same route one
can achieve a cost cut. This kind of pipeline
network forms a tree structure with a common root
and its subtrees are named generalized Steiner
minimal trees. One can improve the reality of
capital cost by determining the detailed routes
of pipe segments with the dynamic programming
method re-garding the real building costs.
A method is described for the solution of this
problem based on location and set partitioning
models.
