摘要：The scheduling of products pipelines was a very complex task that many decision variables and constraints needed to be considered. In this paper, a single source and multi-terminals products pipeline system was studied. A novel optimization model was developed, while the Simulated Annealing algorithm was applied. In contrast to existing literature, a new objective function was proposed, that the flow rate of each pipe segment changing with time during the scheduling horizon was kept to be minimum. The optimization process was divided into two stages. The first stage generated the initial batch plans by the Space Recursion method. In this stage, the flow rate and time constraints of delivering operations, the constraints of material balance, the constraints of batch tracking and the constraints of market demands were considered. But the initial solution was usually unfeasible in that the flow rate constraints of pipe segments along the pipeline weren’t satisfied. For achieving a feasible and optimal solution, new solutions were continuously generated by the SA algorithm and the poorer new solutions were probabilistically accepted in the second stage. The approach successfully solved a real China products pipeline called LC involving a source and ten terminals, and transporting three different oil refined products.
