Abstract
AbstractReservoir systems are essential for water resources management. The application and development of optimization techniques for optimal reservoir operation is therefore a valuable undertaking. This paper presents a modified firefly algorithm (MFA) and applies it to optimally solve reservoir operation problems. Three well-known benchmark multireservoir operation problems are optimized for energy production. The results of the MFA are compared with results obtained with other mathematical programming approaches, such as linear programming (LP), differential dynamic programming (DDP), and discrete DDP (DDDP), the genetic algorithm (GA), the multicolony ant algorithm (MCAA), the honey-bee mating optimization (HBMO) algorithm, the water cycle algorithm (WCA), the bat algorithm (BA), and the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm. The MFA was found to be more effective than alternative optimization methods in solving the test problems demonstrating its strong potential to tackle multireservoir o...
