Optimal Hydropower Reservoir Operation with Environmental Requirements

i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am thankful to my Committee Members for their contributions to this dissertation. I am most grateful to my major Professor, Jay Lund, for his enthusiastic guidance and endless ideas during these four years. His sense of humor contributed to having a pleasant work environment. I am indebted to Professor Richard Howitt for his valuable comments and for providing the computati...

Reservoir Operation Applied to Hydropower Systems

Currently, studies on hydropower systems operations primarily focus on multiple uses of water, i.e., water resources exploitation and control systems to satisfy human needs and demands connected to economic and social activities. Focuses include power generation, urban and industrial water supply, irrigation, navigation, leisure and recreation-related uses, flood control and water pollution con...

Sustainability of crop production from polluted lands

Hydropower Reservoir Operation using Standard Operating and Standard Hedging Policies

Standard operating policy and hedging policies are commonly used for reservoir operation for municipal or irrigation water supply. Application of these policies to hydropower reservoir operation is complex. In this paper, new standard operating policies and standard hedging policy are proposed for hydropower reservoir operation. The newly proposed policies were applied to the operation of Indir...
