A real-world benchmark problem for hydropower optimization with dynamic operational constraints

The related paper tests the ability of different reservoir operation models to represent a relatively simple water rationing policy through a multi-year simulation of the Upper Krishna River Basin in India. The tested policies involve reductions in water demand as a function of storage levels. The models that were tested include Mike Hydro Basin, the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model, HEC-ResSIM model, and the WEB.BM model. Two more simulation models were tested by their vendors, who subsequently declined joint participation in this publication. The models utilized single-timestep progression and assumed steady-state flows, implying an expectation of similar solutions among the models. The results show that Mike Hydro Basin and HEC-ResSIM fail to allocate water according to the prescribed rules. The paper provides a problem description and downloadable input and output data. Modelling practitioners can test the performance of their models by using the benchmark solution present..., , # A real-world benchmark problem for hydropower optimization with dynamic operational constraints

相关论文以印度上克里希纳河流域（Upper Krishna River Basin）为研究对象，通过多年模拟试验，评估不同水库调度模型（reservoir operation models）对相对简易的配水政策的表征能力。本次测试的配水政策基于水库水位水平调整需水量。受试模型包括Mike Hydro Basin、水资源评估与规划模型（Water Evaluation and Planning, WEAP）、HEC-ResSIM模型以及WEB.BM模型。另有两款仿真模型由其厂商完成测试，但随后拒绝参与本论文的联合署名。上述模型均采用单时间步推进机制，并假设水流处于稳态（steady-state flows），这意味着各模型预期可获得相近的求解结果。试验结果表明，Mike Hydro Basin与HEC-ResSIM未能按照预设规则进行配水。该论文提供了问题描述以及可下载的输入、输出数据集。建模从业者可借助文中提供的基准解（benchmark solution）测试自身模型的性能……，# 带动态运行约束的水电优化真实基准问题
