Abstract:
The paper presents a three step procedure to allocate flood reserve capacity of the reservoirs in a river basin to manage floods and increase hydropower generation. The first step is trying to identify the flood reserve space and reservoir storage availability during the post-flood season in dry year to evaluate the feasibility for future planned flood reserve capacity. Step 2 is dividing the flood reserve space, by using a novel partitioning method to obtain flood protection coefficient. Step 3 is allocating of flood reserve capacity with various storage options of multi-reservoirs, using a simulation-optimization approach. The results show that the most satisfactory solution both reduces downstream overflow and maximizes hydropower, firm power and target storage rate.
