This paper studied the operation of Sutami Reservoir. The methodology consisted of optimization energy which was due to turbine discharge and head of hydro electrical power. Results can use as the pattern of rule curve as the basic of reservoir operation. The rule curve considered optimization discharge, head and energy of hydro electrical power. Water resources development in Indonesia was targeted to supply water needs, which is the important aspect of water resources developments used for Irrigation. Water use for irrigation has also other advantages such as for hydro electrical power. Water restriction of surface water resources and higher cost of hydraulic structures intensify the need for an optimum capacity and operation for reservoir system. Thus, it was needed to allocate the water use as efficient as possible. To reach this target, it was needed to make a system model for optimization. Optimization analysis would give more information for allocating water of each objective function. Optimization of energy was carried out for yearly reservoir. Yearly reservoir was the reservoir which could reserve water during the rainy season then it was used in the dry season. For this kind of reservoir, water inflow was not the same quantity as the water outflow. The methodology consisted of optimization Water allocation of hydro power which was due to turbine discharge and head of hydro electrical power. Results can use as the pattern of rule curve as the basic of reservoir operation. The rule curve considered optimization discharge of outflow, head and energy of hydro electrical power. © Research India Publications.
