Reservoir Systems Analysis: Closing Gap between Theory and Practice
TLDR
A simple simulation-optimization model for reservoir sizing has been presented as an example of systems approach respond to practical needs of water resources engineers, and the benefits of knowledge-based technology with regard to single-multipurpose reservoir analysis.Abstract:
During the past three decades, the application of the systems approach to reservoir management and operations has been established as one of the most important advances made in the field of water resources engineering A primary role of systems analysis is to provide an improved basis for decision making It has been concluded that a gap still exists between research studies and the application of a systems approach in practice The objective of this paper is to provide a short review of the mathematical models used in reservoir management and operations, to present conclusions reached by previous state-of-the-art reviews, and to provide two ideas for closing the gap between theory and practice First, a simple simulation-optimization model for reservoir sizing has been presented as an example of systems approach respond to practical needs of water resources engineers The second example illustrates the benefits of knowledge-based technology with regard to single-multipurpose reservoir analysisread more

Reservoir‐System Simulation and Optimization Models
TL;DR: A broad array of computer models have been developed for evaluating reservoir operations as discussed by the authors, and selecting a modeling and analysis approach for a particular application depends upon the characteristics of the reservoir characteristics.

Many objective robust decision making for complex environmental systems undergoing change
TL;DR: MORDM is introduced and results suggest that including robustness as a decision criterion can dramatically change the formulation of complex environmental management problems as well as the negotiated selection of candidate alternatives to implement.
Many Objective Robust Decision Making for Complex Environmental Systems Undergoing Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce many objective robust decision making (MORDM), which combines concepts and methods from many objective evolutionary optimization and robust decision-making (RDM), along with extensive use of interactive visual analytics, to facilitate the management of complex environmental systems.

Finding Reservoir Operating Rules
TL;DR: In this paper, a deterministic dynamic programming (DDP) is used with operational hydrology to find optimal reservoir operating rules to find that annual operating policy of a single reservoir having an economic loss associated with each draft rate which minimizes the expected loss.

A simulation model for operating a multipurpose multireservoir system
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model was used for assessing alternative policies of operation for the Trent River system in Ontario, Canada, which is used for flood control, water supply, hydropower, and augmenting flows through the canal system during the summer period.
