A Multi-Agent Simulation Model for Water Resources Allocation and Scheduling

Abstract:

The South-to-North Water Diversion Eastern Route Project of China is a complex large scale system. It is important of constructing a modelling and simulation for this type of system. This paper proposes a modelling and simulation technique for large scale water project based on Agent calculation and complex adaptive system (CAS). The simulation experiment system, about multi-Agents of water resources in East CAS management features is conducted using SWARM. We demonstrate also the interaction within all kinds of objects and the behaviour of system evolvement in the course of water resources allocation and scheduling. The simulation results show the proposed simulation model effective.
