in this paper, multi-microgrids (mmg) are considered as future smart distribution grids, in which small scale energy resources (sser) are main power generation units with small scales. optimal operation of microgrids in defined intervals is carried out to achieve economic conditions in distribution systems. the defined operating problem is optimized using a heuristic algorithm considering uncer...

This paper reviews a variety of derived single-purpose operating policies for reservoirs in series and in parallel for water supply, flood control, hydropower, water quality, and recreation. Such rules are useful for real-time operations, conducting reservoir simulation studies for real-time, seasonal, and longterm operations, and for understanding the workings of multi-reservoir systems. For r...

Operation of reservoirs, often for conflicting purposes, is a difficult task. The uncertainty associated with reservoir operations is further increased due to the on-going hydrological impacts of climate change. Therefore, various artificial intelligence techniques such as genetic algorithms, ant-colony optimization, fuzzy logic and mathematical optimization methods such as Linear programming, ...

Standard operating policy and hedging policies are commonly used for reservoir operation for municipal or irrigation water supply. Application of these policies to hydropower reservoir operation is complex. In this paper, new standard operating policies and standard hedging policy are proposed for hydropower reservoir operation. The newly proposed policies were applied to the operation of Indir...

The broad of applicability, ease of use, and global perspective of so-called meta-heuristic algorithms may be considered as the primary reason for their extensive application and success as search and optimization tools in various problem domains. Honey bees are among the most well-studied social insects. Their mating process may also be considered as a typical swarm-based approach to optimizat...

The sequence of reservoir operations has a profound influence on the regulation and storage capacity groups to effectively utilise natural water inflow external transfer in basin, especially for with supply tasks. This study establishes operation (ROS) four group modes, aiming at national economic ecological consumption, constructs model ROS-based multi-objective group, uses particle swarm opti...

In this research, a flood control operating strategy is developed based on simulation-optimization model to reduce damage downstream of multi-reservoir systems by using spillway gates. For purpose, an optimization algorithm introduced, in which the maximum water level points and hydropower potential generation season are objective functions, stages gates decision variables. A global tool, Shuff...
