Abstract
This paper develops a decomposition technique that allows the capacities of the interdependent components (pipes and compressors) of natural gas transmission networks to be expanded independently of the technological factors that make them interact. It establishes certain conditions that justify the application of the single-facility decomposition technique to the capacity expansion problem. The paper also introduces and uses the concept of variable starting regeneration points in determining the optimal sequence of expansions of a compressor station if the construction date is delayed until a date later than the start of the planning horizon.
