Abstract

A novel challenge faced by water scientists and water managers today is the efficient management of the available water resources for meeting crucial demands such as drinking water supply, irrigation and hydro-power generation. Optimal operation of reservoirs is of paramount importance for better management of scarce water resources under competing multiple demands such as irrigation, water supply etc., with decreasing reliability of these systems under climate change. This study compares six different state-of-the-art modeling techniques namely; Deterministic Dynamic Programming (DDP), Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP), Implicit Stochastic Optimization (ISO), Fitted Q-Iteration (FQI), Sampling Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SSDP), and Model Predictive Control (MPC), in developing pareto-optimal reservoir operation solutions considering two competing operational objectives of irrigation and flood control for the Pong reservoir located in Beas River, India. Set of pareto-optimal (approximate) solutions were derived using the above-mentioned six methods based on different convex combinations of the two objectives and finally the performances of the resulting sets of pareto-optimal solutions were compared. Additionally, key reservoir performance indices including resilience, reliability, vulnerability and sustainability were estimated to study the performance of the current operation of the reservoir. Modeling results indicate that the optimal-operational solution developed by DDP attains the best performance followed by the MPC and FQI. The performance of the Pong reservoir operation assessed by comparing different performance indices suggests that there is high vulnerability (~ 0.65) and low resilience (~ 0.10) in current operations and the development of pareto-optimal operation solutions using multiple state-of-the-art modeling techniques might be crucial for making better reservoir operation decisions.
