Optimal energy production in the Yeşilırmak River Basin

Özet

Optimal planning and operation of water resources are depend on a complex structure and process that include country economics and life standards. Currently, sustainable use and development of water resources to maximize possible benefits are the two big challenges to be overcome and efficient use of hydro power forms a significant component of this., A water resources system with multi-reservoirs is described in this study. It is considered to three scenarios in the system. The system is set up on the optimization model for the long term planning. The method of the dynamic programming with successive approximations is used in the model. Objective function in the optimization model has two stage, maximization of firm and total energies. The model is applied to the system with multi-reservoirs presented successively on the main and secondary line of the Yeşilırmak River in the Yeşilırmak River Basin. Results are evaluated to the maximization of the energy production. Accordingly, the firm energy obtained from the optimization model is presented approximate the value determined by empiric equations, and also the average energy in the model is % 32 better than the value obtainedby empiric equations. Addionality, it is observed that the optimization process of the reservoirs with the highest operational storage was controlled and managed.
