Small-scale hydropower projects at existing agricultural reservoirs can contribute to produce electric energy by maximizing the use of releases from the reservoirs. The irrigation water duration, the reservoir hydropower simulation, and the nonlinear programming model are employed to estimate potential hydroelectric energy at an existing reservoir. The nonlinear programming model consists of finding a maximum hydroelectric energy subject to irrigation water demand constraints. The sample reservoir given a set of inflow and irrigation water is considered. The optimal solutions by the optimization model yield the most hydroelectric energy for the analysis period in the three methods. Consequently, the nonlinear programming model uses the most water for hydropower generation with respect to the total inflow of the sample reservoir. It is also found that additional storage by increasing the normal water level of the sample reservoir does not significantly increase the annual hydroelectric energy for the given reservoir. It is expected that the optimization model and the proposed procedure for estimating potential hydroelectric energy can be applied to evaluate feasibility analysis for small scale hydropower additions at existing agricultural dams.

기후변화의 영향으로 과거에 경험하지 못한 이상강우 발생 증가로 댐 및 수자원 관리에 어려움이 증대되고 있다. 특히, 강우의 시·공간적 변동성 심화로 기존 지상강우계만으로는 정확한 유역 단위의 강우량 추정이 어려우며 관측강우자료의 불확실성은 댐 운영의 부정확성을 야기할 수 있다. 최근 지상강우계의 대안으로 시·공간 해상도가 우수한 강우레이더의 활용 및 현업적용이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 안정적인 수력댐 운영 및 수재해 예방을 위해 고해상도 강우레이더와 지상관측 강우자료를 활용하여 수력댐 유역의 강우추정 정확도를 개선하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 환경부 합성레이더 강우자료와 지상강우관측자료를 이용하여 조건부 합성기법으로 격자강우자료의 정확도를 개선하였다. 대상 유역은 한국수력원자력(주)의 수력발전용댐(팔당, 의암, 춘천, 화천, 청평, 도암, 괴산, 섬진강, 보성강댐) 이다. 특히, 레이더 오차 분석을 통해 지형효과의 고려가 필요한 수력댐 유역을 선정하여 고도영향 조건부합성기법을 적용하도록 하였다. 이를 통해 수력댐 유역의 지형 및 기상 특성을 차별화한 보정이 가능하였다. 또한, 소유역별 레이더 유역평균강우의 오차를 실시간으로 저감하기 위해 화음탐색법과 칼만필터 기법을 적용하여 수력댐 수계 내 172개 소유역의 유역평균강우량을 실시간으로 최적화 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 수력댐 유역의 고해상도 강우 정보를 기반으로 GIS 웹 표출 시스템에 개발하여 수력댐 운영 업무활용 할 수 있도록 지원하고자 한다.

라오스 남능강 유역에는 현재 11개의 수력 발전 댐이 운영되고 있으며 최근에 설치된 댐을 제외하고는 오래전에 개발된 운영규정 곡선에 근거하여 운영하고 있다. 즉 댐의 증설에 따른 하천 유량의 변동과 발전소의 설비용량증설 등의 발전환경이 충분히 반영되지 못한 상태로 운영하고 있으며, 이로 인해 통합수자원 관리의 최적화 차원의 일환으로 최대 전력생산을 위한 새로운 저수지 운영규정 곡선 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 저수지 운영규정 곡선(reservoir operation rule curve)은 일반적으로 주어진 저수지의 규모와 저수지로의 유입량 그리고 발전소의 설비용량 등의 발전환경을 종합적으로 고려하여 연간 발전량을 최대로 생산할 수 있도록 최적화 기법 등을 활용하여 개발한다. 본 고에서는 이를 위해 범용적인 동적 계획법(Dynamic Programming:DP)프로그램인 CSUDP를 활용하여 최초의 최적 저수지 운영규정 곡선을 제시하고 이에 의한 발전량을 모의하기 위해 HEC-ResSim package를 활용하였으며, 최종적으로는 기존의 운영규정 곡선, 운영실적, 그리고 현장 운영자의 의견 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 댐 운영 시나리오(단독, 연결, 댐별 상업 발전 시기 등)별로 운영규정 곡선을 개발하고 라오스 정부(EdL)에 제시하였다.

The application of conventional method for optimizing firm water supply and hydro-electric power generation has some limitation during abnormal or extreme drought periods. Hashimoto et al. (1982) suggested there risk evaluation criteria such as reliability, resilience, and vulnerability. These three criteria have been incorporated into a mixed-integer programming model for evaluating the possible performance of water- supply reservoir (Moy et al., 1986; Srinivasan et al., 1999). However, till now, these kind of researches have been conducted only for water-supply reservoir. Therefore there have been no other study for multi-purpose dam including hydro-electric power generation. This study presents an improved formulation of the previous model for evaluating a multi-purpose reservoir system operation considering water supply and hydro-electric power generation. The modified model was applied to the Daechung multi-purpose reservoir system in the Keum river basin to demonstrate the efficiency of the improved formulation.

The operation of a reservoir system is necessary for establishing the operation rule as well as designing the reservoirs for water resources planning or management. Increasingly complex water resource systems require more advanced operation techniques. As a result, various techniques have been introduced and applied until now. In this study Linear Tracking model based on optimal control theory is applied to the operation of the largest scale multi-reservoir system in the Han river and its applicability proved. This system normally supplies the water resources required downstream for hydro-power and plays a role in satisfying the water demand of the Capital region. For the optimal use of the water resources the Linear Tracking model is designed with the objective to maximize the hydro-power energy subject to the water supply demand. The multi-reservoir system includes the seven main reservoirs in IIan river such as Hwachon, Soyanggang, Chunchon, Uiam, Cheongpyong, Chungju and Paldang. These reservoirs have been monthly operated for the past 21 years. Operation results are analyzed with respect to both hydro"power energy and water supply. Additionally the efficiency of the technique is assessed.sessed.

Due to the randomness of reservoir inflow and supply demand it is not easy to establish an optimal reservoir operation rule. However, the operation rule can be derived by the implicit stochastic optimization approach using synthetic inflow data with some demand satisfied. In this study the optimal reservoir operation which was reasonably formulated as Linear Tracking model for maximizing the hydro-energy of seven reservoirs system in the Han river was performed by use of the optimal control theory. Here the operation model made to satisfy the 2001st year demand in the capital area inputted the synthetic inflow data generated by multi-site Markov model. Based on the regressions and statistic analyses of the optimal operation results, monthly reservoir operation rules were developed with the seasonal probabilities of the reservoir stages. The comparatively larger dams which would have more controllability such as Hwacheon, Soyanggang, and Chungju had better regressions between the storages and outflows. The effectiveness of the rules was verified by the simulation during actually operating period.period.

국내에서도 최근 이상기후 현상이 빈번하게 발생하고 있고, 이로 인해 매년 봄가뭄과 여름홍수가 반복적으로 발생하여 효율적 수자원 관리의 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 최적 저수지 운영을 통한 효율적인 수자원 이용으로 과다한 무효 방류와 같이 낭비되는 수자원을 절감시켜 신규 수자원 개발과 유사한 효과를 획득하고, 기존 시설에 의한 지역 용수의 안정적인 공급으로 신규 수자원 개발 억제에 의한 비용 절감의 필요성과 유역의 수자원 변화를 평가하기 위한 모형의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 저수량 확보, 생활.농업.공업.하천유지용수 공급, 홍수조절, 수력발전 등의 다양한 목적들을 적절히 고려하고, 사용자의 요구에 따라 목적별 우선권을 변경할 수 있도록 적절한 membership 함수를 구축하여 fuzzy DP 모형을 개발하였다. 또한, 개발된 fuzzy DP 모형에 소양강 다목적댐의 기왕의 수문자료를 도입한 모형의 최적화 운영결과와 기왕의 실적자료를 비교 검토하여 최적화 운영의 우수성을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 저수지의 효율적인 운영을 위한 지침으로 사용될 수 있을 것이며, 유역의 수자원 영향 평가에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In Korea, more than 60% of the whole lands are mountainous area. Since many decades ago, hydroelectric power plants have been constructed and eco-friendly energy has been produced. Hydropower can cope with the rapidly changing energy supply and demand, and produce eco-friendly energy. However, when the reservoir is built, it is often inevitable to damage the environment due to construction of large structure. In this study, the optimal reservoir operation model was developed to maximize power generation by monthly operation for long-term operation planning. The dam operation model was developed using the linear programming which is widely used in the optimal resources allocation problems. And the reservoir operation model can establish monthly operation plan for 1 year. Linear programming requires both object function and constraints to be linear. However, since the power generation equation is nonlinear, it is linearized using the Taylor Expansion technique. The optimization results were compared with the 2009-2018 historical data of five hydropower reservoirs. As a result, the total optimal generation is about 10~37% higher than the historical generation.

In this study, for the purpose of water supply planning, we propose a sophisticated multi-period mixed integer programming model that can coordinate the behavior of multi-reservoir operation, minimizing unnecessary spill. It can simulate the system with operating rules which are self- generated by the optimization engine in the algorithm. It is an optimization model in structure, but it indeed simulates the coordinating behavior of multi-reservoir operation. It minimizes the water shortfalls in demand requirements, maintaining flood reserve volume, minimizing unnecessary spill, maximizing hydropower generation release, keeping water storage levels high for efficient hydroelectric turbine operation. This optimization model is a large scale mixed integer programming problem that consists of 3.920 integer variables and 68.658 by 132.384 node-arc incidence matrix for 28 years of data. In order to handle the enormous amount of data generated by a big mathematical model, the utilization of DBMS (data base management system)seems to be inevitable. It has been tested with the Han River multi-reservoir system in Korea, which consists of 2 large multipurpose dams and 3 hydroelectric dams. We demonstrated successfully that there is a good chance of saving substantial amount of water should it be put to use in real time with a good inflow forecasting system.
