Joint operation of parallel reservoir with interconnected tunnel

Abstract

Reservoir operation is strongly influenced by water balance conditions in the catchment area. The amount of inflow, reservoir capacity, and water requirement are major factors in arranging the reservoir operation rules. The purpose of this research is to obtain the extent of the parallel reservoir operation reliability that performed simultaneously by utilizing water transfer from wet to dry watershed. Simulation method used to operate the parallel reservoir with interconnecting tunnel between. From simulated results on three seasons, there are obtained that the water potential to be transferred to the dry watershed. By utilizing this water potential, further simulation for 25 years will come to see the reliability of the joint operating rule in this location.
