Abstract
Optimal operation rules for cascade reservoirs are derived in the framework of optimization, fitting, re-optimization and simulation. First, optimal data samples are generated using deterministic dynamic programming method to solve an optimization model, and they are used to establish operation rules with a regression analysis on them. Then, these rules are refined through simulations of the optimal operation and application of nonlinear programming, and verified with a series of synthetic inflow generated by Copula function. A case study of the Dadu river cascade hydropower plants shows that the proposed method is effective in improving the hydropower generation of cascade reservoirs.
