Abstract:
Long term and mid-term reservoir operation involves derivation of rule curves for optimal managementof the available resource. The present work deals with reservoir operation in the Aurès arid
region. As an example, Babar reservoir is selected to apply the proposed approach which estimates all
the water balance terms, especially those which are random as water inflows. For each demand scenario
a reservoir operation optimization model using Explicit Stochastic Dynamic Programming (ESDP)
is performed, to derive optimal rule curves based on historical operating records (Jan 2002–Dec 2013)
and using “Reservoir” R package®. Subsequently, risk analysis is conducted for these different demand
scenarios rules by the RRV (reliability, resilience, vulnerability) metrics. Results show the advantage
of using the “Reservoir” R package for a rapid and an easy analysis of the performance criteria
jointly with the optimization algorithm to Re-operate Reservoir operation.
