  • Method for operation of hydropower reservoir with a 2-parameter elevation rule curve
    Patent number: 10655595
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel method for operating a hydropower reservoir which is an improvement over the existing single-parameter (the current month) USACE Rule Curve approach, the improvement comprising the consideration of a second parameter, namely the water level of the reservoir at the beginning of the month, in the decision-making process for operation of the reservoir.
    Type: Grant
