Applications of Stochastic Optimal Control Theory to the Real-Time Operation of Multireservoir Systems

水库的运行方式对于有效利用蓄水，解决防洪、供水和水电等经常相互冲突的需求起着至关重要的作用。在目前的工程实践中，水库系统通常是按照一定的规则运行的，这些规则通常是通过反复试验确定的，并通过模拟研究进行检验，而没有现代系统分析技术和高速数字计算机的好处。本课题研究了随机最优控制理论在多水库系统实时调度问题中的应用。

The way reservoirs of water are operated plays a crucial role in making efficient use of the stored water in resolving the often conflicting demands of flood protection, water supply, and hydropower generation. In current engineering practice, reservoir systems are usually operated according to certain rules which are usually determined by trial and error and tested through simulation studies, without the benefit of modern systems analysis techniques and high-speed digital computers. This research project investigates the application of stochastic optimal control theory to the problems of real time operation of multi-reservoir systems.
