Introduction to Optimization Analysis in Hydrosystem Engineering

Part of the book series: Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality ((TSRQ,volume 25))

Abstract

This chapter presents a combination of optimization (LINGO) and simulation (HEC-ReSim) models to determine monthly operating rules for the Zayandehrud reservoir system in Iran. Based on the optimized flow determined in the single-objective framework, system behavior was simulated over 47 years. The results show that optimizing the operation of Zayandehrud reservoir could increase its storage by 88.9 % as well as increase the reliability index of regulated water for all downstream demands by more than 10 %.

A part of this chapter is published in the Water International journal as follows:
