Pipeline Liquid Control using Nonlinear MPC and OLGA : Optimal Utilization of Available Liquid Buffer Volume during Pipeline Transients

Pipelines with multiphase flow will exhibit large and highly nonlinear liquid rates during transients caused by changes in production rate. This requires either a large separator (slug catcher) downstream, capable of handling all disturbances, or, some sort of control of the rate change in order to...
