Abstract

During the last few years Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA), a new optimization technique, has been used effectively in solving large scale problems. In this paper along with a brief presentation of HSA, an application on classic Dam Scheduling problem is presented. This application concerns the optimum operation of a four-reservoir system over 24 hours. The water released from each dam is used for hydropower generation and irrigation. The objective is to maximize the daily benefits gained from the reservoir system over 12 (two-hour) time steps.
