TLDR
The conclusion is that the fuzzy logic approach is promising, but it suffers from the “curse of dimensionality” and can be a useful supplement to existing operating practices.
Abstract
Relatively little of the research on reservoir operating procedures has found its way into actual practice. One reason is that operators are uncomfortable with complex optimization models and reluctant to use procedures that they do not fully understand. Fuzzy logic seems to offer a way to improve on existing operating practices, which is relatively easy to explain and understand. The main concepts in fuzzy logic and a procedure for applying them are explained. These are applied to finding operating procedures for a single-purpose hydroelectric project, where both the inflows and the selling price for energy can vary. Operation of the system is simulated using both fuzzy logic programming and fixed rules. The results are compared with those obtained by deterministic dynamic programming with hindsight. The use of fuzzy logic with flow forecasts is also investigated. The conclusion is that the fuzzy logic approach is promising, but it suffers from the “curse of dimensionality.” It can be a useful supplement...

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for prediction of water level in reservoir

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ANFIS can be applied successfully and provide high accuracy and reliability for reservoir water level forecasting in the next three hours and the model with human decision as input variable has consistently superior performance with regard to all used indexes than the model without this input.

Comparison of Several Flood Forecasting Models in Yangtze River

TL;DR: Two hybrid models based on recent artificial intelligence technology, namely, the genetic algorithm-based artificial neural network (ANN-GA) and the adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), are employed for flood forecasting in a channel reach of the Yangtze River in China.

An interval-parameter fuzzy two-stage stochastic program for water resources management under uncertainty

TL;DR: This study presents an interval-parameter fuzzy two-stage stochastic programming (IFTSP) method for the planning of water-resources-management systems under uncertainty and demonstrates how the method efficiently produces stable solutions together with different risk levels of violating pre-established allocation criteria.

Fuzzy Thinking: The New Science of Fuzzy Logic

Bart Kosko
TL;DR: Fuzzy logic prescribes a new way of thinking about machines, about science, ambiguity, confusion and contradiction, and it sanctifies vagueness.
