Abstract

This paper focuses on deriving optimal refill rules for a multi-purpose reservoir, and aims to maximize utilization benefits under the condition of flood control safety. The entire flood season is divided into multiple sub-seasons (i.e. pre-flood season, main-flood season and post-flood season). By advancing the start of the refill period to the beginning of the post-flood season, seasonal design flows during the new refill period are estimated. A multi-objective refill operation model is proposed by combining flood control and conservation together. The simulation–optimization-test framework and hybrid multi-objective genetic algorithms are developed and used to optimize the rule curves. China’s Three Gorges Reservoir is selected as a case study and the application results show that the proposed model can increase the hydropower generation by 17.4%, decrease spilled water by 43.9%, and improve the refill probability greatly without decreasing the flood control standard and navigation probability during the refill period.
