Reducing the conflict of interest in the optimal operation of reservoirs by linking mesohabitat hydraulic modeling and metaheuristic optimization

Abstract The present study proposes a novel framework to optimize the reservoir operation through linking mesohabitat hydraulic modeling and metaheuristic optimization mitigate environmental impact at downstream of reservoir. Environmental function was developed by simulation. Then, utilized in structure optimization. Different algorithms including practice swarm optimization, invasive weed differential evolution biogeography-based algorithm were used operation. Root mean square error (RMSE) reliability index measure performance algorithms. Based on results case study, proposed method is robust for mitigating impacts sustaining water supply RMSE mesohabitats 8% that indicates robustness downstream. It seems providing requirements might reduce considerably. Differential best study.
