The DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre “Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation of Gas Networks” is dedicated to developing new mathematical methods with the aim of improving the efficiency of gas supply – both in terms of transport and by taking into account market regulatory frameworks and integration with other energy sources. The current focus is on the transition to hydrogen networks.
A key focus of sub-project B06 is the development of solution methods that can be applied to a broad class of robust problems, such as discrete-continuous non-convex and two-stage robust optimisation models. Building on the results of the first two phases, B06 will investigate the integration of robustness and stochasticity alongside discrete-continuous decision-making. The aim is to develop approaches that exhibit lower conservativeness compared to pure robustness whilst offering a level of assurance that goes beyond stochastic guarantees. To this end, B06 will develop methods for distribution-robust optimisation, a field currently under active investigation with numerous applications. This will involve the integration of learning from data.
