Application of Optimization Techniques for Searching Optimal Reservoir Rule Curves: A Review

Developing optimal operating reservoir rule-curves in drought periods

In this study a simulation-optimization model is developed for deriving operation rule-curves in drought ‎periods. To each reservoir, two rule-curves with adjustable monthly levels are introduced dividing the ‎reservoir capacity into three zones between the normal water level and minimum operation level. To each ‎zone of a reservoir and for each month of the year a hedging coefficient is introd...

DETERMINATION OF OPTIMAL HEDGING RULE USING FUZZY SET THEORY FOR MULTI-RESERVOIR OPERATION

To deal with severe drought when water supply is insufficient hedging rule, based on hedging rule curve, is proposed. In general, in discrete hedging rules, the rationing factors have changed from a zone to another zone at once. Accordingly, this paper is an attempt to improve the conventional hedging rule to control the changes of rationing factors. In this regard, the simulation model has emp...

A Review of Application of Signal Processing Techniques for Fault Diagnosis of Induction Motors – Part I

Abstract - Use of efficient signal processing tools (SPTs) to extract proper indices for fault detection in induction motors (IMs) is the essential part of any fault recognition procedure. The Part1 of the two parts paper focuses on Fourier-based techniques including fast Fourier transform and short time Fourier transform. In this paper, all utilized SPTs which have been employed for fault fete...

Application of Simulated Annealing Technique to Non-Linear Optimization of PC-SAFT for Petroleum Reservoir Fluids

Equations of state should be tuned to reservoir conditions by PVT tests for phase behavior modeling. This tuning is achievable via an optimization method. In this work, simulated annealing algorithm is applied as a global optimization method to parameter optimization for PC-SAFT from the statistical associating fluid theory incorporating hard chain as reference fluid. The optimization parameter...
