Multi-Reservoir Flood Control Operation Using Improved Bald Eagle Search Algorithm with ε Constraint Method

Abstract

The reservoir flood control operation problem has the characteristics of multiconstraint, high-dimension, nonlinearity, and being difficult to solve. In order to better solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved bald eagle search algorithm (CABES) coupled with ε-constraint method (ε-CABES). In order to test the performance of the CABES algorithm, a typical test function is used to simulate and verify CABES. The results are compared with the bald eagle algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm to verify its superiority. In order to further test the rationality and effectiveness of the CABES method, two single reservoirs and a multi-reservoir system are selected for flood control operation, and the ε constraint method and the penalty function method (CF-CABES) are compared, respectively. Results show that peak clipping rates of ε-CABES and CF-CABES are both 60.28% for Shafan Reservoir and 52.03% for Dahuofang Reservoir, respectively. When solving the multi-reservoir joint flood control operation system, only ε-CABES flood control operation is successful, and the peak clipping rate is 51.76%. Therefore, in the single-reservoir flood control operation, the penalty function method and the ε constraint method have similar effects. However, in multi-reservoir operation, the ε constraint method is better than the penalty function method. In summary, the ε-CABES algorithm is more reliable and effective, which provides a new method for solving the joint flood control scheduling problem of large reservoirs.

“…Avesani D [7] presented a comparative assessment of revenues provided by short-term optimizations driven by two econometric models, which may be beneficial for hydropower companies to enhance the expected revenues from storage hydropower systems, especially those characterized by large storage capacity. Regarding flood control scheduling [8][9][10], reservoir flood control scheduling has the characteristics of being multiconstraint, high-dimension, nonlinearity, and difficult to solve [11]. The overall approach has evolved from one or a few reservoirs securing a single flood protection object to multi-objective refined and comprehensive scheduling of a large group of reservoirs for multiple flood protection objects across a whole basin, including optimal scheduling modeling and solving, regular scheduling rule extraction, and flood risk assessments.…”

“…Flood disasters are currently the most significant natural calamities, causing substantial losses to humanity worldwide. With the impact of global climate change, frequent occurrences of intense rainfall events, tsunamis, and other disasters have led to an increasing number of extreme flooding incidents, highlighting the growing prominence of flood control and disaster reduction [1][2][3][4]. In order to mitigate the impact of flood disasters, using real-time and accurate flood forecasting is an effective and crucial measure.…”
