Fully compositional and thermal reservoir simulation capabilities are important in oil exploration and production. There are significant resources in existing wells and in heavy oil, oil sands, and deep-water reservoirs. This article has two main goals: (1) to clearly identify chemical engineering sub-problems within reservoir simulation that the PSE community can potentially make contributions...

Abstract This paper proposes a multi-reservoir operating policy for water supply by combining target storage curves with the hedging rule. The are derived to solve allocation problem of joint demand. There three steps in proposed methodology: Firstly, optimal release schedule using dynamic programming long-term operation model is established, from which suitable forms identified. Secondly, simu...

This paper presents a metaheuristic approach based on the Honey Bee Mating Algorithm (HBMA) to the problem of hydropower reservoir optimization. As shortage in power resources becomes more and more pressing, the issue of obtaining more power using less primary energy resources, in general, and less water resources, in particular, becomes an important target for the efficient usage of hydropower...

The current study presents the design features and photovoltaic requirements of a floating photovoltaic plant (FPVP) whose purpose is to reduce the evaporation from the surface of a water reservoir while generating electricity. A summary of the energy budget method is also introduced to calculate the rate of evaporation from the water reservoir behind 15-Khordad dam. The top of the reservoi...

The Çaygören Reservoir was sampled monthly from February 2007 to January 2009 at three stations to determine the relationships between the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) dynamics and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N), water discharge, water transparency, water temperature (T), specific conductance (SC) and pH. Thermal stratification occurred in the re...

Reservoirs are a common way to store and retain water serving for multitude of purposes like storage drinking irrigation water, recreation, flood protection, navigation, hydropower production, have been built since centuries. Today, few reservoirs serve only one purpose, which requires management present demands interests. Since each reservoir project will cause negative impacts alongside desir...

for the proper use of water resources in agriculture, it is necessary to provide appropriate irrigation system to supply crop water requirement. in the present research, using a hierarchical analysis, different types of irrigation systems were evaluated and prioritized on 1150 hectares of agricultural land of etka organization ​​ located in dorud, iran. hierarchical analysis process is one of t...

Operation of multi-reservoir systems is known as complicated and often large-scale optimization problems. The problems, because of broad search space, nonlinear relationships, correlation of several variables, as well as problem uncertainty, are difficult requiring powerful algorithms with specific capabilities to be solved. In the present study a Self-adaptive version of Melody Search algorith...
