Abstract

This paper presents a metaheuristic approach based on the Honey Bee Mating Algorithm (HBMA) to the problem of hydropower reservoir optimization. As shortage in power resources becomes more and more pressing, the issue of obtaining more power using less primary energy resources, in general, and less water resources, in particular, becomes an important target for the efficient usage of hydropower potential. The HBMA is a new metaheuristic approach, simple and easy to implement, with good convergence properties.
