SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF BARGI RESERVOIR

Abstract

The study deals with the use of analytical optimization model combined with simulation model in planning and design of a water resource system. The multipurpose Bargi Reservoir reservoir system being taken as a case study. One of the Analytical optimization models namely linear programming has been used as a mreening iaodei in orr-r to regulate the mean monthly flows. Linear programming speci-fied targets for irrigation and energy target which are further modyfied by simulation. Dock 2050 computer of university of Roorkee Regional Computer Centre was used for Computation. Systematic sampling is used for Simulation technique. Inthe study, out of the two conservation purposes priority has been given to irrigation, i.e., water is first drawn from the reservoir to meet the target out put for irrigation and then to met the energy requirements as energy deficits can be made up by purchase from outside the system or by thermal powerrplants. For the designed gross reservoir capacity of 3.947 Mcm, the annual irrigation requirement, the annual energy require-ment, and the power slant capacity obtained from linear pro- gramming model were 4.48 Mcm, 35997 Kwh, and 80.6 Mw respect- ively. The reservoir was simulated with these values which resulted in higher deficits, both for irrigation and energy The power plant capacity was inseated to its design value of 90 Mw.
