Abstract EN
This paper proposes a "comprehensive" pipeline design optimization approach that considers pipe parameters, protection device parameters, and project maintenance and operational costs over the pipeline's service life.
The objective is to search for an optimal pipeline design by analyzing alternatives with different lifespans, while taking inflation and interest rates into account.
A specially designed genetic algorithm routine suggests possible solutions that encompass a range of available pipe diameters, pipe materials, pipe pressure ratings, surge tank sizes, and inlet/ outlet resistances.
With both steady-state and unsteady pipe flow analyses, the solution provides a system satisfying required demand without violating velocity and pressure constraints.
A real-world project is selected to investigate the outcome of the optimization procedure.
The proposed comprehensive optimization approach is shown to be an effective method of comparing a wide range of design alternatives for pipeline projects and identifying the one that optimizes the overall cost.
