Abstract
Among the major sources of energy supply systems, hydroelectric power plants are more common. Energy supply during peak hours and less environmental issues are some of the most important advantages of hydroelectric power plants. In this study, designing parameters to supply maximum amount of energy was determined by using the simulation-optimization perspective and combination of IWO-WEAP models. Subsequently, the developed model has been applied for designing the Karun II hydroelectric power plant. The sequential streamflow routing method has been developed for obtaining energy in WEAP water resources management software. In addition the optimization algorithm has been applied to optimize the invasive weeds. To verify the performance of this method, obtained results for the firm energy were compared to those of the total energy. Using this method, for 1398 GWY (Giga watt per your) firm energy, the minimum and normal levels of operation were 668 and 672 m.a.s.l (meters above sea level), respectively, and the installation capacity calculated around 498 MW as optimal value.
