5.3 Optimization <strong>of</strong> <strong>regional</strong> <strong>water</strong>-<strong>energy</strong> systems<br />

Combining SDP with the <strong>water</strong> value method proved to be a useful approach<br />

to assess some <strong>of</strong> the linkages between <strong>water</strong> and <strong>energy</strong> systems. However,<br />

because <strong>of</strong> the computational limitations faced by SDP, those linkages could<br />

only be studied at an aggregated level. To overcome this issue, SDDP was<br />

used to optimize a coupled model <strong>of</strong> the power system and the seven major<br />

river basins <strong>of</strong> the IP. An aggregated model (at the peninsula level) was used<br />

to evaluate the impact <strong>of</strong> aggregation.<br />

Figure 19 shows the convergence <strong>of</strong> the SDDP algorithm <strong>for</strong> the aggregated<br />

and the disaggregated models. The aggregated model, which has one reservoir,<br />

converged faster than the disaggregated one, which has seven.<br />
