Multi-objective storage reservoir operation under uncertainty

2003, 京都大学防災研究所年報. B= Disaster Prevention …

Abstract

Water quantity and quality are considered to be the main driving forces the reservoir operation. Barra Bonita reservoir, located in the southeast region of Brazil, is chosen as the case study for the application of the proposed methodology. Herein, optimization and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are applied in the simulation and operation of the reservoir. A fuzzy stochastic dynamic programming model (FSDP) is developed for calculating the optimal operation procedures. Optimization is applied to achieve multiple fuzzy objectives. Markov chain technique is applied to handle the stochastic characteristics of river flow. Water quality analysis is carried out using an artificial neural network model. Organic matter and nutrient loads are modeled as a function of river discharge through the application of a fuzzy regression model based on fuzzy performance functions. The obtained results show that the proposed methodology provides an effective and useful tool for reservoir operation.

What novel methods are used for reservoir operation under uncertainty?add

The study employs fuzzy set theory and dynamic programming to optimize multi-objective reservoir operations, improving management under uncertainty. Traditional techniques like goal programming are compared to fuzzy methods for greater flexibility in handling imprecise objectives.

How does water quality impact reservoir management decisions?add

The paper highlights that water quality variables significantly affect decisions on water allocation for multiple uses, such as irrigation and recreation. Poor water quality can lead to eutrophication, posing further challenges in resource optimization.

What challenges are associated with water quality data in reservoir studies?add

Limited and infrequent observational data restrict the ability to model complex water quality phenomena effectively, resulting in potential inaccuracies. For example, only 24 observations collected over several years were available for analyzing the Barra Bonita reservoir.

How does the application of artificial neural networks enhance water quality modeling?add

The ANN model, preferred over physical models, simplifies the prediction of water quality by reducing computational demands associated with complex parameter estimation. It utilizes genetic algorithms for training, allowing for a more robust simulation despite limited data availability.

What are the implications of multi-objective optimization in reservoir operations?add

Integrating multiple objectives, such as environmental quality and economic efficiency, complicates reservoir management but leads to more sustainable outcomes. The proposed fuzzy multi-objective fuzzy regression approach provides a structured means to evaluate conflicting objectives in real-time decision-making.
