| Abstract | The present research deals with a technical feasible scheme for the planning of a serially-linked reservoirs system which is to be developed mainly for power generation purpose. Based on the dynamic programming techniques, a deterministic model was proposed to find the system optimal solution by a forward procedure. The fluctuations of water levels in the upstream and downstream reservoirs were considered for every power plant. They were treated as direct and opposite current vectors of a sequential process in space. An 'ideal scheme' was used as an approximate approach for reservoir regulation, a computational procedure , which can be favorably solved using
computer, was also proposed in this study based on water balance equations and general principles of this rule. In order to overcome t he limitation of short historical records, seasonal streamflow sequences was generated using t he fragments method. The Upper Sesan River System in the Central Highlands of Vietnam was chosen for illustrating the applicability of the proposed model. This system
composes of 6 reservoirs in which four reservoirs in the mainstream are located in a serially-linked manner. Based on the system output parameters
resulted from the optimization, discussions are made on t he sensitivity of system output parameters, on the model versatility and finally, the optimal scheme of the Upper Sesan Reservoirs System is derived. |
