Hybrid Optimization Method for Strategic Control of Water Withdrawal from Water Reservoir with Using Support Vector Machines

Menšík, Pavel; Marton, Daniel

Abstract

The aim of strategic control is the effort to achieve optimal water resource management (water reservoir). Classic strategic control of water withdrawal from water reservoir are based mainly on the rules and rules curves, which are created by generalization of historical data of water inflows to the reservoirs and water demand. Discharge series are changing in the time due to expected climate change. It is necessary to looking for intelligent water withdrawal control, which will allow to react on these hydrological changes and contribute to the efficient use of accumulated water for ensure water demand. The paper will describe the algorithm based on adaptive control. The normal adaptive control required knowledge of the water flow medium-term prediction into the reservoir. The created algorithm of intelligent water withdrawal control does not require knowledge of hydrological predictions. This control method is based on a suitable combination optimization method with the Support vector machines method. The control algorithm is one of the possible measures to mitigate the negative impacts of droughts and water scarcity. The algorithm of adaptive control is applied to the control of water withdrawal from selected single-reservoir. The results are compared with usual rules for water withdrawal control.
