Application Research on Optimal Operation of Reservoir Group Water Supply Based on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Optimal operation of reservoir group has been the major issues in optimal operation of water resource systems. On the basis of analysis to the optimal operation of reservoir group, a modified optimizing operation model based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was developed for optimal operation of joint water supply from reservoir group. A case study was presented with the application of the newly developed model in Lubu-Lianghui reservoir group, Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province. The research results showed that the PSO algorithm and the new model can achieve reliable and high effective optimized results, which brought benefits to the reservoir group.
