Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of development of rules for the water resource management of a hydro-electrical power station is considered. A multi-criteria decision support procedure is proposed, using several criteria for testing the quality of management and describing the interests of various water consumers. Use is made of the model of a system that allows of criterion values for various possible rules, but does not allow an analytical research. The method is based on approximation of the Edgeworth-Pareto hull for the considered multi-objective problem and on the ensuing interactive visualization of the Pareto frontier.
