In this paper the operation of multiple reservoirs by the utilization of analysis method of the system dynamics is considering and this analysis method is based on the feedback and object oriented events. The goal of this research is presentation of a new method by utilization of system dynamicity technique for simulation of the reservoir. This software is a product of Ventana Company and the e...

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...

Abstract The present study proposes a novel framework to optimize the reservoir operation through linking mesohabitat hydraulic modeling and metaheuristic optimization mitigate environmental impact at downstream of reservoir. Environmental function was developed by simulation. Then, utilized in structure optimization. Different algorithms including practice swarm optimization, invasive weed dif...

Optimization of reservoir parameters is an important issue in petroleum exploration and production. The Ant Colony Optimization(ACO) is a recent approach to solve discrete and continuous optimization problems. In this paper, the Ant Colony Optimization is usedas an intelligent tool to estimate reservoir rock properties. The methodology is illustrated by using a case study on shear wave velocity...

Limitations on water resources and the high costs of new hydraulic structure construction intensify the need for an optimum operation of Iranian reservoir systems. For appropriate water distribution and management in a 9-reservoir system on the Kalamarz river, Mianeh basin optimizing mathematical models are applied. Considering the stochastic nature of river discharges and the constant amount o...

The application of optimization tools and techniques to operate the reservoir on a Multi-objective basis under the circumstances of climate change is unavoidable. The present study utilizes the Multi-Objective Farmland Fertility Optimization (MOFFA) algorithm to derive optimum rules on the operation of the Golestan Dam in Golestan province under circumstances of climate change. The two targets ...

Hedging is widely used to mitigate severe water shortages in the operation of reservoirs during droughts. Rationing is usually instituted with one hedging policy, which is based only on one trigger, i.e., initial storage level or current water availability. It may perform poorly in balancing the benefits of a release during the current period versus those of carryover storage during future drou...
