HYDRONOMEAS - Model for Simulation and Optimisation of Hydrosystems Management
At each time step, based on the current desirable storage, the respective desirable
water withdrawal from each reservoir is calculated. The simulation model seeks to
meet the specific withdrawal, provided this does not oppose to the physical
restrictions of the network (e.g. the specific withdrawal cannot be conveyed
downstream due to exhaustion of the discharge capacity of downstream aqueducts)
and the operating targets of the hydrosystem (e.g. a greater withdrawal is required to
meet a downstream demand). Otherwise, the model calculates a water outflow that is
as close as possible to the desirable one.
Notes:
In a relatively complex hydrosystem, with a complicated topology and opposing
targets, the actual withdrawals usually differ from the desirable ones. This means
that the management of a hydrosystem mainly depends on the different restrictions
set (due to the physical characteristics of the system and due to the user defined
targets) and secondarily on the operating rules.
More information on the parametric rule for the operation of reservoirs is provided by
Nalbantis and Koutsoyiannis, 1997.

Reservoir operating rules of the current scenario can be represented in the form of a
graph by selecting from the menu of the Main Form Tools/Show reservoir rules.
