Variable, constraint and parameter naming scheme

Head variables

  • h: head

Flow variables

  • q: volume flow
  • ql: volume flow consumption
  • qg: volume flow production

Pump variables

  • eta: pump efficiency
  • w: pump rotational speed

Developing steady-state problems and formulations

In the current version of PetroleumModels, the supported variable space is head (h), pump efficiency (eta), pump rotational speed (w) and volume flow (q) for steady-state modeling. Most steady-state models use/assume the single network formulation, that is not discretized in time or space. Thus, petroleum network models are read in and directly used by steady-state specifications.
