However, these reservoirs are managed by different institutions, and the gains owing to the joint operation of reservoirs are neither clear nor recognized, which prohibits the applicability of reservoir joint operation.
A more consequential matter that should be studied is whether joint management of the reservoir is sufficiently economical to encourage a cooperative reservoir development.
To inspire the incentive of joint operation, the contribution of reservoirs to joint operation needs to be quantified.
The basis in deriving the joint rules among the three reservoirs is indicated in the following.
This paper develops a parallel dynamic programming algorithm to optimize the joint operation of a multi-reservoir system.
This study investigates the synergistic gains from the optimal joint operation of two pivotal reservoirs (i.e., Longyangxia and Liujiaxia) along the Upper Yellow River.
The interior of the reservoir, especially any joints, should be closely inspected before filling with water, and care is needed in setting up and using the flow measurement devices.
The optimal joint operation of the original multi-reservoir system and optimal water allocation parameter values will be found by multi-objective algorithm.
Nevertheless, these approaches do not consider properly the joint operation of the storage systems (water reservoirs, NG storage and line pack of pipelines).
