Abstract: Despite decades of operational use, stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) is still a popular method for solving hydropower management optimization problems. From an operational perspective, there are many advantages to using ...

Abstract: To assess the impacts of climate change on water resources, hydrological models are the most commonly used to simulate future flows. Hydrological model calibration is typically based on historical hydrometeorological data, ...

Abstract: Ten stochastic optimization methods—adaptive simulated annealing (ASA), covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMAES), cuckoo search (CS), dynamically dimensioned search (DDS), differential evolution (DE), genetic ...
