Abstract

Water stored in the reservoir is one of the main sources of water supply in arid regions. Therefore, optimal operation of it is of utmost importance, especially in drought duration. In this study, optimal operation of Voshmgir dam using continues hedging policy optimized by linear programming (LP) and Partial swarm optimization Algorithm (PSO) that located in Golestan province north of Iran was investigated. The objective function is minimization of the Shortage index. In order to examine the effects of used hedging policy, 3 continuous drought years was considered. To evaluate the results of the models, evaluation criteria such as the percentage of water supply, reliability, vulnerability and stability indicators was used. The threshold volume changes per month was extracted and the base hedging rule curve for reservoir was presented. Evaluating the results of two models showed stability index in linear programming with 41.78 model was much higher than particle swarm algorithm with 6.416. Which indicates the higher performance of this model in the optimization of hedging policy in Voshmgir reservoir.
