Abstract
In this work, we describe the application of hierarchical coordination to gas networks optimisation, required by the problem decomposition. The problem is decomposed geographically and then special attention is given to the coordination of an iterative algorithm where every agent finds its best settings based on the decisions of its nearest-neighbours. The result is a decentralised fixed-point algorithm whose structure is described in an example network and using an algebraic setting of the kind of the transient optimisation problem, owing to the case study complexity. The method performance is assessed on the example-network.
