Reliability‐constrained reservoir control problems: 1. Methodological issues

A dynamic programing solution procedure is developed for a class of reliability-constrained reservoir control problems associated with constraints defined over the entire life of the reservoir. Certain methodological issues involved in the modeling, analysis, and solution of reservoir control problems are raised, and it is shown how the proposed model can be used to evaluate heuristic release strategies. A simple numerical example is presented.
