Management of Reservoir Operation System Using Improved Harmony Search Algorithm

Document Type : Research Paper

Authors

Abstract

Due to severe surface water limitation and extended drought periods in Iran, proper management of dam
reservoirs has been considered as a major challenge in recent years. When the classical methods of
optimization do not provide efficient and sustainable results, the improved harmony search algorithm (IHS)
can be applied. In this research, the proposed method has been used to manage Dez dam reservoir operation.
A comparison between IHS and non linear programming (NLP) results show that the IHS reveals no
decrease in convergence speed in spite of using a large set of simulation procedure. In most observed cases
the responses of IHS were much better than that of NLP. Accordingly, the proposed method can be applied
in reservoir operation system with success.
