AbstractThis study is aimed to derive optimal operational policies for the Feitsui Reservoir, Taiwan R. 0. C. This reservoir has the primal purpose of ensuring the drinking water supply of the Taipei Metropolitan Area up to the year 2030. In addition, a power plant is installed to utilize reservoir releases for hydropower generation. Due to the sequential decisions inherent in the reservoir operation dynamic programming has been used to derive the optimal releases. Both deterministic and stochastic DP were used. While incremental dynamic programming , a modified version of the deterministic DP can derive the optimal release sequence for a known inflow and water demand time series, the stochastiq DP can be relied on to develop a set of reservoir operation rules, to be used as a basis for future real - time reservoir operation. A particular challenge of the present study is the attempt to use dynamic programming for reservoir operation studies for the typhoon influenced hydrological regime prevailing in Tai wan . The results of this study indicate that the available reservoir capacity would be sufficient to cope with the forecasted water demand in 2030, however shortages would be unavoidable if an extreme dry year like 1963 (statistical recurrence period 1000 years) reoccurred.
