Abstract

Hydropower projects involve enormous investments that require an efficient cost–benefit framework and optimization model for proper development. Dams and hydropower plants have many impacts on the environment. These environmental impacts are often not included in the economic calculations and planning of the projects, which leads to the loss of natural resources. The primary purpose of this research is to incorporate environmental impacts into optimization and decision-making. A comprehensive simulation–optimization model is developed to optimize hydropower decisions. The positive and negative values of environmental impacts are incorporated into an economic objective function under different scenarios, and optimal design was done for each scenario. The results show that considering environmental economics affects the multipurpose hydropower project's NPV and decision outcomes. Considering environmental impacts compared to not considering them has reduced NPV of the project by 13.9%. The results emphasize the importance of including these impacts to achieve sustainable development and management.
考虑环境影响的多用途水电水库可持续规划模拟优化框架
水电项目涉及巨大的投资,需要一个有效的成本效益框架和优化模型来进行适当的开发。水坝和水电站对环境有许多影响。这些环境影响往往不包括在项目的经济计算和规划中,这导致了自然资源的损失。本研究的主要目的是将环境影响纳入优化和决策中。开发了一个综合模拟-优化模型来优化水电决策。将环境影响的正值和负值纳入不同情景下的经济目标函数,并对每个情景进行优化设计。结果表明,考虑环境经济因素会影响多用途水电项目的净现值和决策结果。与不考虑环境影响相比,考虑环境影响使项目的净现值降低了13.9%。结果强调了包括这些影响对实现可持续发展和管理的重要性。

期刊介绍: Hydrology Research provides international coverage on all aspects of hydrology in its widest sense, and welcomes the submission of papers from across the subject. While emphasis is placed on studies of the hydrological cycle, the Journal also covers the physics and chemistry of water. Hydrology Research is intended to be a link between basic hydrological research and the practical application of scientific results within the broad field of water management.
