Dynamic modeling of large-scale networks with application to gas distribution

A mathematical description of dynamic processes in large scale networks is presented in this volume. The authors describe extensive practical applications and significant economical savings, and consider many interesting and difficult research problems whose successful solution is a prerequisite for the accomplishment of the whole task. The main techniques discussed are: a new integration method resistant to data systematic errors and parametric oscillations, an effective decomposition method based on the sparsity of system matrices; and the implementation of SIMONE software for simulation of the dynamic modeling of a gas transport pipeline network, including compressor stations.
