Reservoir optimization to produce maximum power generation under climatic conditions based on the improved bat optimization algorithm (IBOA)

ABSTRACT

Global warming will lead to changes in water resources and climate, so understanding future conditions can help to better manage water resources and produce hydropower. This study uses climate models to forecast future climate change to ensure optimal hydropower generation. An improved optimization algorithm called Improved Bat Optimization Algorithm (IBOA) is used to maximize power generation. Results showed that temperature and precipitation will increase in the future. The hydrological forecast results show that as temperatures rise and precipitation changes from snow to rain, the flow rate of water will increase. Simulations of climatic and hydrological parameters reveal that the peak flow will occur earlier than expected. The optimization technique reduces the water level in a reservoir by 23% in winter when the peak flow is highest, and by 38% in summer, when the peak flow is lowest, by adjusting water releases to the turbine.
