Abstract

Lingering droughts and shortage of water sources signify the importance of optimal utilization of water reservoirs such as multi-reservoir systems. These systems could be employed not only as a storage system to manage the water utilization but also as a power generation system. To rise the generated power besides the management of water utilization, an optimization algorithm should be used. In this study, the kidney algorithm in three different scenarios, namely the wet, normal, and dry years is employed to fulfill such an engineering operation in a four-reservoir system in China. Simulations show well compatibility of the water level inside the reservoir with real statistical indices in terms of RMSE and MAE. Results also reveal that using the kidney algorithm not only reduces the required calculation but also increases the convergence pace with respect to other algorithms that have been used (bat, shark, abundance of particles, and genetic algorithms). Moreover, it increases the amount of the generated energy by a factor of 2.2–3.2 with respect to the aforementioned algorithms. Results indicate the capability of the kidney algorithm in the management of water sources and engineering operations.
