Long-Term Assessment of a Multi-Unit Reservoir System Operation: 'The ShellDP'Programme Package Manual

摘要

The present report describes the development and use of a complex water resources(reservoir) system operational assessment technique based on Stochastic Dynamic programming (SDP). The description of the SDP method which is applied in the report is presented in Chapter 2. The chapter also contains information on deterministic dynamic programming (DDP) as an introduction to SDP. The main characteristics of optimization of a single and multi-unit reservoir system operation are explained in Chapter 3. This chapter deals with a general description of water resources system elements, decomposition techniques used in the optimization of a complex system operation, and data requirements for the calculations. Chapter 4 presents a five-reservoir water resources system to demonstrate the applicability of the ShellDP package. Chapter 5 gives detailed information on the ShellDP package and its software components. Finally, the complete example of command, input, and output files for optimization of the presented complex system operation is given in the Appendices A through L.
