Abstract :	[en] In [9], De Wolf and Smeers consider the problem of the optimal dimensioning of a gas transmission network when the topology of the network is known. The pipe diameters must been chosen to minimize the sum of the investment and operating costs. This two stage prob- lem was solved by application of the bundle method for nonsmooth optimization. This model does not re ect any more the current situation on the gas industry. Today, the transportation function and gas buying func- tion are separated. This work considers the new situation for the trans- portation company. The objective for the transportation company is to determine the ows in the network that minimize the energy used for the gas transport. This corresponds to the minimization of the power used in the compressors. We introduce in the investment problem new decision variables, namely the maximal power of the compressor. We present here rst results obtained on the belgian gas network and on a realistic network corresponding to a part of the french network.
