Abstract | An attempt was made to maximize firm energy generation of the combination of upstream reservoirs of Yom basin. Variation of energy generation due to varying plant and reservoir capacities was studied , and power generation patterns at different reliability levels were obtained for one combination. An operating policy was suggested, which later has to be confirmed by simulation studies. Two streamflow extension models that can be used in poorly gauged basins were a l so reviewed. The study shows the effectiveness of Linear Programming techniques in screening models and how they can be used to find the optimum reservoir and plant capacity sizes to give maximum firm and nonfirm energy output of the system, |
