| Abstract | A model for maximizing hydropower operation has been developed with a view of two way; namely (i) maximining annual energy output, (ii) maximizing monthly constant energy throughout the year. The model seeks not only to derive the optimum operation policies that could offer best benefit, but also to examine the fitness of water balance in the concerned area. The model utilizes linear programming and was applied to the Mae klong River Basin Project in Thailand, where three hydropower dams would produce energy. Results indicated that provision of reservoir system could beneficially produce energy and also that the model could be extended to the case of combined basin planning on national scale for the purpose of synthetic future development. The study shows the effectiveness of linear programming techniques in screening model and how they can be used to find the optimum reservoir operations in each development stage. |
