Recalibration of Kainji Reservoir Operating Rule for Optimal Operation
Authored by Mohammed J Mamman
Reservoir rule curves guide reservoir operations by setting target
reservoir elevations throughout the year. In multipurpose reservoirs,
the rule curve represents the compromise between different objectives
such as flood control and water supply. This research tends to
recalibrate the operation rule curves of Kainji reservoir system so as
to guide the managers in their operation and to moderate the extreme
events of flood and water shortage for better operational efficiency.
Standard linear operation policy (SLOP) was adopted in the recalibration
of the reservoir system; it is chosen based on its simplicity, its
operating policy is to provide as much of the target demand as possible,
used for operational studies and planning, particularly for firm yield
studies. The SLOP provides a simple method of making release
decisions.The reservoir elements: initial storage, reservoir capacity,
inflow, evaporation and demand were entered into the SLOP programme and
the outputs: reservoir storage and release were obtained.
