  1. Multicriteria Interval Goal Optimization in the Regulation of Lake-River Systems Raimo P. Hämäläinen and Otso Ojanen Systems Analysis Laboratory Helsinki University of Technology www.hut.fi/Units/SAL raimo@hut.fi

  2. Lake Päijänne and River Kymijoki in Finland

  3. Päijänne-Kymijoki lake river system 4:th largest in Finland Control: Outflow from Päijänne to the river Kymijoki Inflows: forecasted Regulation policies:Water levels at six time points

  4. Need for modelling Development of feasible regulation strategies is a dynamic control problem • No intuitive solutions • Planning againts long historical inflow data • Interest in optimal regulation • Interactive analysis of impacts • Many interest groups • Interactive dynamic multicriteria optimization

  5. Goal programming Goal point/set • Goal = Utopia point/set • Problem: Find a point in the feasible set closest to the goal point/set • minimize distance d • New aspects: • Dynamic problem • Goal interval (set) d cost function

  6. Why goal programming ? • Economic, social and environmental impacts • 19 primary + 27 secondary = 48 different impacts • For example: Power production, flood damages, number of destroyed loon nests • Some impacts are interdependent:energy produced and the value of energy • Direct use of tradeoff comparisons is difficult

  7. Modeling Principles • Lake dynamics • Optimization against four year history data • Lower dam regulation by a given rule • Regulator uses a rolling two goal optimization strategy • Adjustment rules

  8. Interactive decision support

  9. Goals in water levels Users give desired water levels at: • six different points during one year • ideal level + acceptable interval (min, max)

  10. Dynamics of the lake Päijänne

  11. Constraints Outflow from Päijänne Min/max flow: Fixed and hard Max change in outflow: Soft penalty Water level in the midstream lake Pyhäjävi: Fixed rule based regulation Part of the dynamics

  12. Criteria and penalty functions Criterion for goal levels: Quadratic cost for differences of goal points from regulated water levels Penalty outside the goal interval: Quadratic difference from the limits (min or max) Penalty for violation of change in outflow rate: Quadratic cost outside the maximum flow limit, otherwise zero

  13. Cost function minimized =Sum of deviations from goal + penalty outside goal intervals

  14. Benefits of the interval goal formulation • Relaxation of the rigidity of fixed target points • Allows dynamic flexibility to the solution • Softer solutions with smaller changes in the flow rate • Can increase risk and sensitivity to unpredicted deviations in the inflows

  15. Generation of the optimal regulation strategy

  16. ISMO - spreadsheet software Minimizes deviations from goal levels and goal intervals Satisfies flow constraints Simulates the regulator’s operating principles Preference model: • Set of goal levels + acceptability intervals • Optimization againts history data for a selected four year period Modifiable parameters: • Flow constraints in the river • steepness of the penalty function

  17. Use of models in ISMO

  18. Inflows years 1980-1984

  19. Utopia solution Water level

  20. Utopia solution Outflow

  21. Realistic solution Water level

  22. Realistic solution Outflow

  23. Water level Water level Outflow Outflow Utopia and Realistic Solutions years 1980-1984

  24. Impacts • Nature • Spawning areas for pike fish • Water level when ice melts • number of destroyed loon nests • Social • Recreational losses • Professional fishing: Reduction of the water level during 10-Dec and 28-Feb • Economic • Power production • Flood damages • Days infavourable for log floating

  25. Comparison of impacts: • User evaluates and modifies goal levels

  26. Spreadsheet modelling works • ISMO is implemented in MS Excel 7.0 • Solver provides optimization routines • 10-20 minutes for one solution • Benefits • Rapid development • Simple data input, model modification, visualization and printing • Users accept easily: • Excel is a commonly used office program

  27. Further development • Other optimization criteria: • Energy • Other impacts • Different information patterns • Iterative optimization of the goal levels to produce maximum amount/value of the energy • Now used to develop new regulation policies. Could ISMO be developed for everyday operational regulation ?
