FS-DDDP Method and Its Application to Optimal Operation of Groups of Reservoirs

Considering the integrated utilization of reservoirs, the FS-DDDP method is used to search a great deal of feasible tracks of the process of optimal reservoir operation by the combination of forward search and backward search, and some feasible tracks with better objective function are regarded as initial tracks of the DDDP method for further optimization. The method can be used for single reservoir and groups of reservoirs. Taking the cascade reservoirs on the upper Yellow River as an example, the paper expatiates the FS-DDDP method and its realization, by which the optimal solution for generation benefit is obtained under the condition of satisfying the integrated utilization of the cascade reservoirs.
