| Abstract | The operation of a system of multi-·purpose reservoirs is an important aspect of water resources management. Bhumiphol and Sirikit are two parallelly linked reservoirs in Thailand. They are to be operated for maximum power,
satisfying requirements for irrigation and salinity control. Rule curves, currently used for the reservoirs, are based on single reservoir concept.
They cannot be used efficiently for an inter·-linked system. As such, rule curves were obtained recently by the DDDP (Kitti, 1977). In this study, the "Decomposition Principle" is used to decompose the multi·-purpose reservoir system into interlinked subsystems for which operating policies are developed
by separate Dynamic Programming formulation, to check if the method has any
advantage over the DDDP.
In this study, the upper rule curves were found by the Decomposition Principle and the lower rule curves by the Critical Period Analysis. By simulation, the suitability of the rule curves was tested. The study was
made, first, with historical records of inflow data. Then streamflow sequences were generated synthetically to see the effects of stochastic inflows. The results of the study are presented in figures and tables. |
