Abstract: A testing procedure to diagnose whether the stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) models for reservoir operations will converge is presented. Theoretically, the stability of SDP can be diagnosed by checking whether a ...

Abstract: This paper presents and compares four types of stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) for on‐line reservoir operation, relying on observed or forecasted inflows. The models are different because of the assumptions regarding ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce an effective way to solve the problem of nonstationary data generation. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithms have been widely used in data diagnosis. A new EMD-based data ...
