Considering the great importance of flood prediction, flood routing based on shark algorithm (SA) and Four-Parameter Nonlinear Muskingum (FPNM) has been proposed in the present study. In fact, the Muskingum model is considered as one the most efficient method for predicting flood. However, to successfully implement Muskingum Model, there is a need to compute various parameters of this model utilizing a lot of data that characterized the physical features of the catchment. Therefore, there is a need to integrate the Muskingum model with an optimization method. Nevertheless, there are several drawbacks including trapping in local optima, overhead response and convergence time-consuming have been experienced using the existing optimization methods. Therefore, in this study, a proposal for utilizing an integrated evolutionary computing method namely;SA with FPNM has been introduced to overcome such drawbacks. Three case studies based on the definition of objective functions and different error indices were used to evaluate the algorithm. The results showed that SA significantly reduced the sum of the total square deviations (SSQs) and the sum of absolute deviation (SAD) between the predicted and observed discharges compared to other evolutionary algorithms. Moreover, the proposed model achieved high ability to accurately determine the peak value and peak time of the discharge. In addition, the calculated hydrodynamic shape has a high correlation with observed hydrographs.

Computational intelligence (CI) is a fast evolving area in which many novel algorithms, stemmed from various inspiring sources, were developed during the past decade. Nevertheless, many of them are dispersed in different research directions, and their true potential is thus not fully utilized yet. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the potential of these methods in different engineering optimization problems. In fact, shark algorithm is a stochastic search optimization algorithm which is started first in a set of random generated potential solutions, and then performs the search for the optimum one interactively. Such procedure is appropriate to the system features of the reservoir system as it is a stochastic system in nature. In this article, investigation of the potential of shark algorithm is examined as an optimization algorithm for reservoir operation. To achieve that real single reservoir and multi-reservoir optimal operations have been performed utilizing shark algorithm. Many performances indexes have been measured for each case study utilizing the proposed shark algorithm and another existing optimization algorithms namely, Genetic algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The results showed that the proposed shark algorithm outperformed the other algorithms and achieved higher reliability index and lesser vulnerability index. Moreover, standard deviation and coefficient of variation in shark algorithm were less than the other two algorithms, which indicates its superiority. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In recent years, with the quick growth of the economy and living standards in Malaysia, keeping up with the water demand is essential for the growth of cultivation, domestic and industrial. With the merits of having dams and reservoirs, water releases from dams are usually used to respond to the water requirements of downstream dams. To match the practical water requirement considering spatial and temporal conditions, a novel optimization operation model has been formulated for minimizing the gap between the water release from a dam and the water requirement. In this context, there is a need to develop an optimization model to alleviate the complexity and multidimensionality of a dam and reservoir as water supplies and the water demand system. In this research, an optimization algorithm, namely, the shark machine learning algorithm (SMLA) that has high inertia for obtaining its targets, is proposed that mimics the natural shark process. The major objective for the proposed model is attaining the minimum difference between the water demand volume and water release. To examine the proposed model, SMLA has been utilized in determining the optimal operation policies for Timah Tasoh Darn, located in Malaysia. A new procedure to evaluate the performance of optimization models by integrating reservoir inflow forecasting with operational rules generated by optimization models has been proposed. Accordingly, two predictive models, namely, radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) and support vector regression (SVR), have been developed to forecast monthly reservoir inflow. The test results revealed that the SVR forecasts monthly reservoir inflow better than the RBF-NN model. Additionally, the SMLA attained more reliable, resilient and less vulnerable results in the operation of the reservoir system compared to that of other optimization models. In addition, SMLA has demonstrated a significant change in the performance indicator values when using forecasted reservoir infl

This study evaluates three contemporary evolutionary algorithms, namely, shark, genetic, and particle swarm algorithms, for optimization in reservoir operation and water supply. The Klang gate dam in Malaysia is selected as the case study to optimize reservoir operation. The key objective of this study is the minimization of water deficits based on demands and released water. The global solution of the problem is computed based on software Lingo and the average solution of the shark algorithm is able to attain 99% of global solution. As well, the shark algorithm can furnish demand values at a faster convergence rate than both genetic and particle swarm algorithms. The reliability index and resiliency index, as useful indices in water resource management, are used and the values of these indices have the highest percent for the shark algorithm, indicating its superiority over other evolutionary algorithms.

The estimation of solar radiation for planning current and future periods in different fields, such as renewable energy generation, is very important for decision makers. The current study presents a hybrid model structure based on a multi-objective shark algorithm and fuzzy method for forecasting and generating a zone map for solar radiation as an alternative solution for future renewable energy production. The multi-objective shark algorithm attempts to select the best input combination for solar radiation (SR) estimation and the optimal value of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) parameter, and the power parameter of the inverse distance weight (IDW) is computed. Three provinces in Iran with different climates and air quality index conditions have been considered as case studies for this research. In addition, comparative analysis has been carried out with other models, including multi-objective genetic algorithm-ANFIS and multi-objective particle swarm optimization-ANFIS. The Taguchi model is used to obtain the best value of random parameters for multi-objective algorithms. The comparison of the results shows that the relative deviation index (RDI) of the distributed solutions in the Pareto front based multi-objective shark algorithm has the lowest value in the spread index, spacing metric index, favorable distribution, and good diversity. The generated Pareto solutions based on the multi-objective shark algorithm are compared to those based on the genetic algorithm and particle swarm algorithm and found to be the optimal and near ideal solutions. In addition, the determination of the best solution based on a multi-criteria decision model enables the best input to the model to be selected based on different effective parameters. Three different performance indices have been used in this study, including the root mean square error, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, and mean absolute error. The generated zone map based on the multi-objective shark algorith

Operation of reservoirs and power plants for better management of water resources and production of hydro-electric energy has been the objective of many studies. In this research, shark algorithm is used for management of water resources and hydro-electric plants. After the introduction of this procedure, the algorithm is applied to some complex cases such as Karun-4 reservoir, 4-reservoir system, 10-reservoir system and another one including 26 power plants. In the Karun-4 case, the aim was to reduce water shortages and the results obtained from shark algorithm were in 100% compliance with the absolute optimum answer obtained from Lingo software and non-linear method. This was the best solution to the problem to date in the published researches. In the 4-reservoir system, the objective was to increase the profit from the reservoirs. The shark algorithm yielded a value of 1194.64, which is the best answer to date to the question. In regard to the energy production by the 26 power plants, the shark algorithm yielded 40% more energy, compared to genetic algorithm.
