Course Description
 

The RiverWare Optimization course is for users who either have experience with RiverWare rulebased simulation and desire to use the optimization solver or who have experience working with a RiverWare optimization model and have a desire for a deeper understanding of the details of the optimization solution. The course assumes prior knowledge and experience with RiverWare and the RiverWare Policy Language. It does not require prior knowledge of mathematical optimization techniques. The course covers the following topics:

  • Overview of RiverWare’s preemptive linear goal programming solution
  • Strengths and limitations of optimization
  • Components of the mathematical formulation that are necessary for understanding the solution
  • The role of simulation and rulebased simulation in an optimization model
  • Steps to build an optimization model
  • How to formulate basin operating policy for an optimization model
  • Solution analysis and debugging

The class includes a combination of presentations, guided hands-on exercises and self-guided tutorials. You will run and analyze prepared optimization models. You will also write constraints and objectives in the RiverWare Policy Language to convert an existing simulation model into an optimization model. The course will provide you with the knowledge you need to develop and analyze your own optimization models. The detailed training manual will serve as a valuable reference for future use of RiverWare optimization.
