Port-Hamiltonian modelling and simulation of network DAEs

Caren Tischendorf (Humboldt University of Berlin), Jan Giesselmann, Jonas Pade

We present a port-Hamiltonian modeling of gas networks in form of a partial differential algebraic equation system based on the mass flow balance equation and network element models describing the relation between enthalpy and mass flow. The set of network elements includes pipes, compressors, resistors and valves. We use the pipe model description from [1] that provides perturbation bounds via relative energy estimates.

Using the mixed-finite element spatial discretization part from the pipe discretization presented [2], we derive a port-Hamiltonian differential algebraic equation system. Finally, we present convergence criteria for a waveform relaxation approach for couplings of the resulting network DAEs exploiting the convergence result for coupled DAEs given in [3, Theorem 2.4].
