CE8017 Water Resources Systems Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2017

OBJECTIVES:

• To introduce the student to the concept of Mathematical approaches for managing the water resources system.
• To make the students apply an appropriate system approach to optimally operate a water
  resource system.

UNIT I SYSTEM APPROACH

Definition, classification, and characteristics of systems – Philosophy of modelling – Goals and Objectives – Basics of system analysis concept – steps in systems engineering.

UNIT II LINEAR PROGRAMMING

Introduction to Operation research – Linear programming Problem Formulation-graphical solution- Simplex method –Sensitivity analysis – application to operation of single purpose reservoir

UNIT III DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING

Bellman’s optimality criteria, problem formulation and solutions – Water Allocation for three state (user), Forward and Backward Recursion techniques in Dynamic Programming – Shortest pipe line route problem – Application to reservoirs capacity expansion

UNIT IV SIMULATION

Basic principles and concepts – Monte Carlo techniques – Model development – Inputs and outputs – Single and multipurpose reservoir simulation models – Deterministic simulation – Rule Curve development for reservoir

UNIT V ADVANCED OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES

Integer and parametric linear programming – Goal programming types – Applications to reservoir release optimization – application of evolutionary algorithms like Genetic algorithm, Particle swarm, Simulated Annealing to reservoir release optimization
