中文摘要：

水库群联合调度规则优劣，取决于两方面因素，即调度规则形式与规则提取方法。本文以水库群联合调度规则提取方法的发展历程为主线，全面总结了国内外学者在水库群联合调度规则研究方面的最新进展，对不同规则形式的联合调度规则提取方法进行述评，并对今后水库群联合调度规则提取方法研究的发展趋势进行展望。研究分析发现，每种方法都有其特点及适用性，它们体现着水库调度规则提取方法发展的阶段性。其中模拟一优化方法是目前水库调度领域应用最广泛、最实用的调度方法理论，也是当前学术研究领域讨论最热烈的研究方法之一，它对于提取复杂水库群系统联合调度规则尤为适用。

英文摘要：

The effectiveness of multi-reservoir joint operation policy relies on two factors, the form and derivation method of operation rules. This paper summarizes the latest advances in multi-reservoir joint operation policy, along with its historical development and a review on the derivation methods for different rule forms. Future research directions for multi-reservoir operation are prospected. This overview comes to a conclusion that each of the methods has its own distinctive features and suitability, which corresponds to different periods of technical development in this field. Of all the methods overviewed, the simulation based optimization technique has been applied most widely in both theoretical and application studies, and it is particularly suitable for derivation of the joint operation policy for complex multi-reservoir systems.
