To extract optimal reservoir operation policies, it is important to consider different objectives simultaneously. In this study, by applying a meta-heuristic, multi-objective optimization approach, real-time optimal operation rules of Karoon4 dam are extracted as two-objectives by considering...

A simulation model is developed to understand the dynamic behavior of a hydraulically coupled multiple reservoir system when operated in real-time. An object-oriented simulation environment conceived on the principles of system dynamics (SD) is used for the development of the model. The modeling...

<Para ID="Par1">Real-time operation rules are strategies that use prior and current system states to achieve desired conditions in future periods. Commonly, these rules are based on estimates of current and future inflows, current aquifer and reservoir storages, hydraulic heads, power plant capacities and...</para>
