RISOptimal Operation Rules for Parallel Reservoir Systems with Distributed Water Demands
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper addresses the doubts regarding the spatial characteristics of the commonly used rules for parallel reservoir system operation. The rules based on aggregation-decomposition determine the system total release first ...
Improved Dynamic Programming for Hydropower Reservoir Operation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The writers propose a successive improved dynamic programming (SIDP) algorithm for hydropower reservoir operation based on an analysis of concavity, complementarity, and monotonicity of hydropower problems. For single-period ...
Free-Ride and Equilibriums in a Cooperative Game of Cascade Reservoirs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The cooperative operation of cascade reservoir systems is an efficient way to regulate water resources. However, noncooperation among various reservoir stakeholders is often observed in practice; this produces an interesting ...
Optimal Hedging Rules for Two-Objective Reservoir Operation: Balancing Water Supply and Environmental Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Dam-Impacted Water–Energy–Food Nexus in Lancang-Mekong River Basin
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Dams heavily impact the Lancang-Mekong River, leading to water-use conflicts for hydropower, food production, and ecosystem sustainment. Basin-scale cooperation has been shown to yield incremental benefits; however, ...
Constrained Model Predictive Control Algorithm for Cascaded Irrigation Canals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Agricultural irrigation accounts for the largest proportion of freshwater use worldwide, and canal automation potentially improves conveyance efficiency in irrigation canal systems. In this paper, model predictive control ...
Comparing the Economic and Environmental Effects of Different Water Management Schemes Using a Coupled Agent–Hydrologic Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Confronted with diverse water management schemes, policymakers in arid basins face difficulty in choosing a particular scheme due to a lack of appropriate tools to estimate possible physical and economic outcomes in a ...
Effects of Hydrologic Conditions and Reservoir Operation on Transboundary Cooperation in the Lancang–Mekong River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multiple stakeholders in transboundary river basins would benefit from cooperation, but how and why stakeholders can achieve this cooperation remains difficult to determine. This paper proposes an approach for analyzing ...
Decentralized Optimization Method for Water Allocation Management in the Yellow River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The management of large river basins, such as the Yellow River Basin (YRB) in China, is complicated by distributed, localized decision processes and by mechanisms that coordinate local decisions and manage basin-level ...
Optimal Hedging Rules for Reservoir Flood Operation from Forecast Uncertainties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper develops optimal hedging rules for reservoir flood control operation under hydrological uncertainty using hydroeconomic and mathematical analysis. The capacity to convey flood flows is sometimes a scarce resource. ...
