Abstract

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Carbon capture, utilization, storage (CCUS) technology is an effective means to reduce the CO2 emissions. It has been noted that engineering and economic design of the pipeline transportation are important components for CCUS. However, the uncertainties of the pipeline transportation model may make an infeasible design in practice and cause unnecessary cost. In this paper, a novel robust optimization method is proposed for CO2 pipeline transportation design, which can deal with the multiple uncertainties. A stepwise method is presented to further improve the optimization performance. The proposed optimal algorithm is validated by using numerical studies, which shows that the proposed approach can deal with the multiple uncertainties and improve the design performance in comparison with the existing
