Investigation of stochastic optimization methods for operating reservoirs with snowmelt-dominant local inflows and limited storage capability in British Columbia during the spring freshet

The reservoir operations model developed in this thesis is a stochastic dynamic programming decision support tool for the optimization of the operation of snowmelt-driven reservoirs with small storage flexibility hydropower systems during the spring freshet. The model operates under the objective of...
