Short summary
This study investigates the effectiveness of a sensitivity-informed method for multi-objective operation of reservoir systems, which uses a global sensitivity analysis method to screen out insensitive decision variables and thus forms simplified problems with a significantly reduced number of decision variables. We find that it is important to consider variable interactions when formulating simplified problems, and problem decomposition dramatically improves search efficiency and effectiveness.
