Reservoir Real-Time Optimization Operation Model Based on PSO

The reservoir real-time operation is a cyclic process of forcast-decision making-implementation, in which the key issue is to confirm discharges quickly and exactly. In order to solve this issue, a reservoir real-time optimization operation model based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is proposed and the real-time operation procedure is illustrated in this paper. Taking the flood hydrograph 19750729 of Huanren reservoir as an example, discharges calculated by the real-time optimization operation model are compared with those calculated by conventional operation. It could be seen that the running speed of the real-time optimization operation model is quickly, discharges are uniform and reduced under the safety of dam, and the benefit is improved. Therefore, this model is reasonable and feasible.
