Optimal Design and Operation of Multi-Reservoir Systems:Volume I, Explicitly Stochastic Models.

摘要

Optimization models offer a valuable tool to the river basin planner. Two models -the Linear Decision Rule (LDR) and the Sequential Explicit Stochastic Linear Programming (SESLP) models -are of particular importance because they can consider in a comprehensive format the issues of locating,sizing,and operating multiple-use,multiple-reservoir systems. These two models are restructured and extended. A reformulation of the SESLP models results in a substantial reduction in computational burden so that the models are now usable for realistic systems. The LDR model is extended to explicitly include economic benefits or losses. Energy generation is also considered for the first time in the LDR model and a new perspective on the water supply potential of a reservoir system is given.
