Derived Operating Rules for Reservoirs in Series or in Parallel
Publication: Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management
Volume 125, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper reviews a variety of derived single-purpose operating policies for reservoirs in series and in parallel for water supply, flood control, hydropower, water quality, and recreation. Such rules are useful for real-time operations, conducting reservoir simulation studies for real-time, seasonal, and long-term operations, and for understanding the workings of multireservoir systems. For reservoirs in series, several additional new policies are derived for special cases of optimal short-term operation for hydropower production and energy storage. For reservoirs in parallel, additional new special-case rules are derived for water quality, water supply, and hydropower production. New operating policies also are derived for reservoir recreation.
