Abstract
Two multipurpose reservoirs will be incorporated to the colombian interconnected hydrothermal generation system in the near future. The first one, called Riogrande II, is expected to be in operation by the second half of 1993 and has as main purposes energy generation and water supply to the city of Medellin. The second one, called Urra I, is expected to be in operation by the year 1998 and has as main purposes energy generation, flood control and irrigation. Trade-off curves between purposes were developed for these reservoirs associating reliability values to each pair of purposes values. The resulting trade-off curves are probabilistic curves in the sense that each point of these curves has not only values of the two purposes but also their associated reliability values. A multiatribute value function is also introduced to define multipurpose reservoir operation. Some results, conclusions and recommendations are also presented.
