A Short-Term Hydropower Scheduling Model Considering Constraint Priorities
(ASCE, 2023/09/01)Models for short-term optimal scheduling of hydropower stations should consider complex cascade constraints, hydropower station constraints, and unit operation constraints, all of which are inextricably linked. In practical ... -
Factors Influencing the Regional Diffusion of Watershed Ecological Compensation Policies: A Case Study of China
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Basin ecological compensation policy is a regulatory policy that coordinates environmental protection, economic construction, and social development in a watershed. The policy helps alleviate problems such as unequal ... -
Optimal Multiobjective Scheduling of Hydropower Stations in Day-Ahead Electricity Market: Considering Ecological Benefits
(ASCE, 2023/09/01)At present, most research on the optimal scheduling of hydropower stations in the day-ahead electricity market focuses on the optimal power generation benefit, which does not consider the ecological impact of the generated ... -
Locating Multiple Leaks in Water Distribution Networks Combining Physically Based and Data-Driven Models and High-Performance Computing
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)Water utilities are urged to decrease their real water losses, not only to reduce costs but also to assure long-term sustainability. Hardware- and software-based techniques have been broadly used to locate leaks; within ... -
Gradual Leak Detection in Water Distribution Networks Based on Multistep Forecasting Strategy
(ASCE, 2023/08/01)With the availability of real-time monitoring data, leakage detection for water distribution networks (WDNs) based on data-driven methods has received increasing attention in recent years. Accurate forecasts based on ... -
When Threshold and Metric Selection Matter for Resilience Planning in an Uncertain and Changing World
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Translation of a system’s performance goals into measurable quantities is fundamental for water systems planning. Frequently, the selected metrics are the same threshold-based metrics that have been common in water systems ... -
Assessing Water Management Strategies under Water Scarcity in the Mexican Portion of the Colorado River Basin
(ASCE, 2023/09/01)The water management of the Colorado River is at a tipping point. This paper describes water management strategies in the Mexican portion of the Colorado River Basin considering water scarcity scenarios. A water allocation ... -
