Abstract The optimization of dam reservoir operations is the utmost importance, as operators strive to maximize revenue while minimizing expenses, risks, and deficiencies. Metaheuristics have recently been investigated extensively by researchers in management reservoirs. But animal-concept-based metaheuristic algorithm with Lévy flight integration approach has not used at Karun-4. This paper in...

Echo state networks (ESNs) with multi-clustered reservoir topology perform better in reservoir computing and robustness than those with random reservoir topology. However, these ESNs have a complex reservoir topology, which leads to difficulties in reservoir generation. This study focuses on the reservoir generation problem when ESN is used in environments with sufficient priori data available....

A reservoir is one of the most efficient measures for integrated water resources development and management. The reservoir storage curve is a vital parameter for multipurpose reservoir operation and its precision is a key issue for water balance and strategic risk management. Compared with the traditional approach, the method based on remote sensing RS data provides better information, which ca...

Water injection is an enhanced oil recovery method which is applied for number of reservoirs especially in the offshore fields around the world. Sea-water injection process is usually associated with important concerns affecting the efficiency, safety, and economy of the operation like formation damage, mineral scaling, early breakthrough and corrosion. Incompatibility between injected and ...

Power supply is a key issue for decision-makers. The reservoir operation of multi-reservoir systems an important aspect to consider in efforts increase power generation. This research studies system comprising the Khersan-I (KHI), Karoon-III (KAIII) and Karoon-IV (KAIV) with intent being To achieve this, Two-Point Heading Rule was integrated new optimization algorithm, namely Seagull Optimizati...

Climate changes significantly cause the precipitation deficiency and in turn reduce inflow amount reservoir affecting hydroelectric power generation. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate hydropower generation operation under climate change from Kesem reservoir. Recent Representative Pathway (RCP) scenarios were used impact on Power transformation equation variance scaling approac...

We present a new method of determining an operating policy for a multi-reservoir system in which the operating policy for a reservoir is determined by solving a stochastic dynamic programming model consisting of that reservoir and a 2-dimensional representation of the rest of the system. The method is practical for systems with many reservoirs because the time required to determine an operating...
