A Goal Programming Approach for Optimizing Natural Gas Transportation Network

Natural gas (NG) is widely transported through the high-pressure pipeline network. For maintaining the high pressure in the gas pipeline network, compressor stations are installed at fixed intervals along with the pipeline. The compression procedures involve huge amounts of energy and investment. So...
