Abstract

This work considers the problem of the optimal design of an hydrogen transmission network. This design problem includes the topology determination and the pipelines dimensioning problem. We define a local search method that simultaneously looks for the least cost topology of the network and for the optimal diameter of each pipe. These two problems were generally solved separately these last years. The application to the case of development of future hydrogen pipeline networks in France has been conducted at the local, regional and national levels. We compare the proposed approach with another using Tabu search heuristic.
