Abstract

In potential flow networks, the equilibrium flow rates are usually not proportional to the demands and flow control elements are required to regulate the flow. The control elements can broadly be classified into two types—discrete and continuous. Discrete control elements can have only two operational states: fully open or fully closed. On the other hand, continuous control elements may be operated in any intermediate position in addition to the fully open and fully closed states. Naturally, with their increased flexibility, continuous control elements can provide better network performance, but to what extent?
