Reservoir operations modeling

Gentek Consult’s modeling of reservoir operations typically focuses on storage facilities located within irrigation districts that are used for hour-to-hour or day-to-day system regulation. For these facilities, the challenge is to optimize their intended use for absorbing temporary mismatches between system flow and delivery demand, thereby increasing delivery flexibility while minimizing operational spillage. Operational modeling of these facilities is often accompanied by development and testing of reservoir operating rules and locally controlled facilities automation algorithms. Gentek Consult analyzes historical reservoir inflows, outflows, water levels, spillage volumes and demand patterns in our modeling of reservoir operations.
