This study is focused on developing an integrated optimization-simulation model to develop the operation policies for a multi-purpose reservoir. Objective function of the optimization model is considered to be a linear function of reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability of river-reservoir systems. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to solve the optimization model in which the coefficients of the...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) is a widely used software application for performing one-dimensional and two-dimensional steady and unsteady flow river hydraulics calculations, sediment transport-mobile bed modeling, and water quality analysis. User’s of HEC-RAS have often unique applications including the coupling with other sof...

Petro physics, rock physics and multi-attribute analysis have been employed in an integrated approach to delineate porosity variation across Tamag Field of Niger Delta Basin. Gamma and resistivity logs were employed to identify sand bodies and correlated across the field. Petro physical analysis was undertaken. Rock physics modelling and multi-attribute analysis were carried out. Two hydrocarbo...

The hydropower system in the Upper Yellow River (UYR), one of the largest hydropower bases in China, plays a vital role in the energy structure of the Qinghai Power Grid. Due to management difficulties, there is still considerable room for improvement in the joint operation of this system. This paper presents a general LINGO-based integrated framework to study the operation of the UYR hydropowe...

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...

The reservoir flood control operation problem has the characteristics of multiconstraint, high-dimension, nonlinearity, and being difficult to solve. In order better solve this problem, paper proposes an improved bald eagle search algorithm (CABES) coupled with ε-constraint method (ε-CABES). test performance CABES algorithm, a typical function is used simulate verify CABES. results are compared...

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...
