Optimal Control of a Large Dam

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A large dam model is an object of study of this paper. The parameters Llower and Lupper are its lower and upper levels, L=Lupper−Llower is large, and if a current level of water is between these bounds, then the dam is assumed to be in normal state. Passage one or other bound leads to damage. Let J1 (J2) denote the damage cost of crossing the lower (upper) level. It is assumed that input stream of water is described by a Poisson process, while the output stream is state-dependent (the exact formulation of the problem is given in the paper). Let Lt denote the dam level at time t, and let p1=limtoinftymathbfPLt=Llower, p2=limtoinftymathbfPLt>Lupper exist. The long-run average cost J=p1J1+p2J2 is a performance measure. The aim of the paper is to choose the parameter of output stream (exactly specified in the paper) minimizing J.
