Optimizing Hydropower Reservoir Operation Using Hybrid Genetic Algorithm and Chaos

TL;DR: A novel chaos genetic algorithm based on the chaos optimization algorithm (COA) and genetic algorithm (GA), which makes use of the ergodicity and internal randomness of chaos iterations, is presented to overcome premature local optimum and increase the convergence speed of genetic algorithm.

Multipurpose Reservoir Operation Using Particle Swarm Optimization

TL;DR: In this study the standard particle swarm optimization PSO algorithm is further improved by incorporating a new strategic mechanism called elitist-mutation to improve its performance, and it is seen that EMPSO is yielding better quality solutions with less number of function evaluations.

Reservoir Storage Reallocation Analysis with PC

TL;DR: A PC-based reservoir-operation simulator that expedites the edit-simulate-evaluate cycle, permitting the civil engineer to search for solutions to water-use problems, rather than for solutions for computer- use problems.

Modeling the California State Water Project

TL;DR: In this paper, two disadvantages of optimization models in water resources planning and management are the simplifications often required to construct the model and user reluctance to rely on optimization models. But they are not the main disadvantages of water resource planning.

Optimal Daily Operation of Surface‐Water Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a computational methodology is presented for determining the optimal operation of a general surface water resources system of water storage and conveyance facilities, where the system is assumed to be operated for hydroelectric power generation, water supply, flood control, and low flow augmentation.

Brass Model: Application to Savannah River System Reservoirs

TL;DR: The BRASS (basin runoff and streamflow simulation) model was developed to improve the real-time and predictive determination of flood discharges and stages, and to aid in flood management decisions within the Savannah River system as mentioned in this paper.
