Abstract: Automatic differentiation is a technique for computing derivatives accurately and efficiently with minimal human effort. The calculation of derivatives of numerical models is necessary for gradient-based optimization of ...

Abstract: An optimization model for selecting and sizing potential reservoir and hydropower plant sites on river basins is presented. The model improves on the work of Lall and Miller by replacing the modified sequent peak algorithm ...

Abstract: A screening model for selecting and sizing potential reservoirs and hydroplants on a river basin is presented. The system is designed to meet annual irrigation and hydropower demands at prescribed levels of reliability. ...
