| Abstract: | The paper extends the results of the optimal policy for a hydroelectric reservoir problem from the one-reservoir case to multi-reservoir cases. The importance of these new results in practice is that they allow more efficient solution algorithms to be developed. Since multi-reservoir problems are extremely difficult to solve, such algorithms are of great value. The paper shows the appropriate state space model to deal with the multi-reservoir situation where each dimension is the cumulative water in and above a reservoir. It is hoped that these results on the form of the optimal policy will allow approximation schemes to compute near-optimal policies for multi-reservoir problems with non-linear head effects by initially assuming that the optimal policy is of this form. |
