| Abstract |
The derivation of optimal operation policies for a multiple-reservoir system is very complex due to the dimensionality constraints. This paper presents a methodology devised to overcome that difficulty during the determination of the operational policies for a multiple-reservoir system. The algorithm starts by the decomposition of the system into single-reservoir subsystems. Subsequently, each subsystem`s operation is individually optimized using a stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) based optimization model and then simulated using a reservoir operation simulation model. The methodology has been successfully applied to derive optimal operation policies for the reservoirs in the complex Mahaweli Development Scheme in Sri Lanka. |
