Mixed-Integer Programming Model for Reservoir Performance Optimization

Publication: Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management
Volume 125, Issue 5

Abstract

Failures in operation of water supply reservoir systems are often unavoidable during critical hydrologic periods. The failure characteristics of such systems can be represented by performance indicators such as reliability, resilience, and vulnerability. A mixed-integer programming model for the operation of a water supply reservoir during critical periods has been presented in the literature that incorporates these performance indicators. An improved formulation of this model that represents resilience more completely is discussed herein. In addition, a set of constraints with binary integer variables are included to account for reservoir spills. The improvements achieved with the modified model is demonstrated using the same example as presented with the original model.
