AquaPlan software - advanced water allocation modelling

 

Features

 

It determines optimal water allocation policies in multipurpose multireservoir systems taking into account :

 

 

  • Various operating objectives (hydropower, irrigation, environmental flows, domestic uses, etc.)
  • Hydrologic uncertainty and cross-correlation
  • Return flows from irrigation areas
  • Head-effect in hydropower function

AquaPlan assumes coordinated management of the water resources system. It maximizes the net benefits of system operation over a given planning period (monthly time steps and planning horizon > 1 year). Individual representation of reservoirs, hydropower plants, irrigation areas, irrigated crops are taken into account. The code manages several energy markets with their own prices (short-run marginal costs) if needed.

 

Applications

 

Typical use of the AquaPlan software includes :
  • Trade-off and risk assessment
  • Hydrologic risk assessment
  • Optimal allocation policies between hydropower and irrigation
  • Optimal operating rules in hydro-dominated systems
  • Assessment of marginal water values
