AbstractOptimal operation of (1) Ban Chao Nen reservoir and (2) Ban Chao Nen and Khao Laem reservoirs are studied using dynamic programming techniques. Average annual benefits from irrigation and power sectors and the average annual production of energy are calculated using the recorded and generated sequences of monthly streamflow data. Multi variate techniques are used for data generation. Operation policies are presented by expressing the optimal releases in each month as functions of storage at the beginning of the month and inflows in the same month. Advantages of the double reservoirs system over the single reservoir are discussed by comparing t he firm energy developed in each month and by checking the constraint of satisfying irrigation and salinity control requirements.
