Stochastic Optimization
The first implementation of a network stochastic programming algorithm is available in RiverWare. Stochastic optimization allows the user to maximize avoided cost and future value based on alternative hydrologic scenarios. This work is still in the research stage; for more information, contact: riverware-support@colorado.edu
Power Efficiency Curve Method
A scalar slot, Power Curvature Tolerance was added to the Power Reservoir for use in optimization models. This slot is instantiated either by the Plant Efficiency Curve method in simulation or a power linearization method in optimization. This slot is used as a parameter in the method Check Z Curves and reflects how much violation of the desired curvature is within tolerance, and overrides the default value.
