Optimization Study of Gas Supply Pipeline Systems Based on Swarm Intelligence Optimization Algorithms

With rapid urbanization and industrialization in China, existing gas supply networks urgently require renewal and optimization. This paper proposes a Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO)-based method for reducing calculation errors and a Zebra Optimization Algorithm (ZOA)-based approach for gas supply pressure distribution. For error correction, the pipe friction coefficient is adjusted to minimize the deviation between calculated and actual flows. The GWO reduces average relative error to 0.01% with satisfactory iteration speed and efficiency. For pressure distribution, supply-end pressures are optimized to reduce energy consumption and enhance system performance. The ZOA shows strong convergence and global search capabilities. These methods provide valuable theoretical and practical insights for optimizing gas supply networks, supporting green transformation and sustainable development.

Abstract

With rapid urbanization and industrialization in China, existing gas supply networks urgently require renewal and optimization. This paper proposes a Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO)-based method for reducing calculation errors and a Zebra Optimization Algorithm (ZOA)-based approach for gas supply pressure distribution. For error correction, the pipe friction coefficient is adjusted to minimize the deviation between calculated and actual flows. The GWO reduces average relative error to 0.01% with satisfactory iteration speed and efficiency. For pressure distribution, supply-end pressures are optimized to reduce energy consumption and enhance system performance. The ZOA shows strong convergence and global search capabilities. These methods provide valuable theoretical and practical insights for optimizing gas supply networks, supporting green transformation and sustainable development.
