Short-Term Flood Control and Long-Term Energy Maximization in Multi-reservoir Systems Using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

2021-09-01
In this study, a model is developed for short-term flood control of a complex multi-reservoir system located on one of the largest basins in Turkey. The managing body of the reservoirs requires that short-term real-time flood control is used in conjunction with the long-term operation for energy maximization. For this purpose, a novel operating framework is developed to couple short-term and long-term decisions. The resulting optimization problems are a large scale and nonlinear. Hence, the solution is maintained by developing an improved epoch-based particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. The proposed solution is general and can be used for any watershed with different layouts of several reservoirs having anticipated inflows and pre-defined release and storage constraints. It is the first time PSO is used for such a complex large-scale problem within flood control context. The developed optimization model was applied to a sample basin having 10 reservoirs with general layout of the mixed structures. The results obtained were compared to the real operational data and it was found that a solution with less flooding and more energy production would have been possible if the proposed methodology were utilized.

This study investigates the performance of short term daily hydrological forecasts utilizing Global Forecast System (GFS) and Hydrologiska Byrans Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV) model over a major sub-region (~25000 km2) located in Euphrates River Basin, Turkey. The test basin, over which the forecast algorithm is implemented, is home to five (four operational and another almostcomplete) dams with 3 three more planned; all eight located within last 300 km reach of 730 kmlong Murat River. The algorithm is aimed ...

The aim of this study is to construct a numerical reservoir model for Balçova geothermal field, which is located in the İzmir bay area of the Aegean coast. A commercial numerical simulation program, TOUGH2 was utilized with a graphical interface, PETRASIM to model the Balçova geothermal field. Natural state modeling of the field was carried out based on the conceptual model of the field, then history matching of production – injection practices of the field was established for the period of 1996 – 2008. The...
Atmospheric Model Component of an Atmospheric-Hydrological Model-Based Real-Time Flood Forecasting System for the Klzlllrmak River Basin in Turkey
Ishida, K.; Ercan, Ali; Chen, R.; Ohara, N.; Kavvas, M.L.; Daǧdeviren, Murat; Selek, Bülent (2016-01-01)
A real-time flood forecasting system was developed over the Klzlllrmak river basin (KRB) in Turkey by means of a physically-based atmospheric-hydrological model. The real-time flood forecasting system utilizes the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model and the WRF data assimilation (WRFDA) system as its atmospheric component. Real-time global atmospheric forecasting data are obtained from global forecast system (GFS) operated by the national centers for environmental prediction (NCEP). The real-time g...

The study was carried out in order to investigate existing hydrogeochemical relationships between groundwater environment and geological units in the Kazan trona deposit area, Ankara, Turkey. Evaluations indicate that concentrations of alkalinity, boron, chloride and sodium in the upgradient groundwater of the Eocene sedimentary units gradually increase toward downgradient by the interactions of saline minerals (searlesite, shortite, northupite and pyrite) present in the secondary structures (microfractures...
Hydrodynamic Modeling of Dam-Reservoir Response during Earthquakes
Aydın, İsmail (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-08-03)
A computational model is developed to analyze the hydrodynamic behavior of dam reservoirs during earthquakes. The mathematical model is based on the solution of two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes equations in a vertical, semi-infinite domain truncated by a far-end boundary condition. A depth integrated continuity equation is used to track the deforming free-surface and ensure global mass conservation. A combination of Sommerfeld nonreflecting boundary and dissipation zone methods is implemented at the far e...
