Optimal Water Allocation at the Varying Storage Levels of the Sumjin Dam

섬진강댐 저수위변경에 따른 최적용수배분

A model using a nonlinear programming technique was applied for allocating the optimal water depending on storage level changes of the Sumjin dam. The objective function of optimization model was set up to maintain the storage at target level, to satisfy the water demand, and to maximize the hydropower production. In this way, the water allocation as to target level and instream flow was optimized and compared with historical operational data.
