Metaheuristic nature-inspired algorithms for reservoir optimization operation: a systematic literature review

The purpose of this systematic literature review (SLR) article is to discuss the findings of the state-of-art metaheuristic nature-inspired algorithm (MHNIA) in reservoir optimization operation. The rationale of this approach is to elucidate the optimal way as decision making that implemented MHNIA for several complex problems in reservoir optimization operation. Commonly, the metaheuristic optimization algorithm has always been used in hydrology field, especially in reservoir optimization. Hence, this presented study reviewed a considerable amount from the previous studies of commonly nature-based optimization algorithms applied in reservoir operations. Hence, preferred reporting items for systematic review and metaanalyses (PRISMA) has been used as guidance. The source was utilized from two primary journal databases: Scopus and web of science. According to the proposed search string, the findings managed to express into nine main themes which are optimize in water release, optimize reservoir operation problems, optimize hydropower operation, optimize condensate fluids in reservoir storage, optimize water pumped storage, optimize water quality control, optimize system performance operation, optimize water demand and optimize reservoir control as flood preventing. Overall, 24 articles that passed the minimum quality were retrieved using systematic searching strategies
