The use of coupled simulation-optimization models to extract the optimal role curve of dams is one of the effective strategies for optimal management of reservoirs. In certain optimization techniques, historical data of the inflow to the reservoir is usually used to extract the optimal role curve of the dam. It is possible that in the coming years, with the change of the inflow to dams, the parameters based on which the optimal role curve was extracted may no longer work and the results may be unexpected. The objective of this research is to provide a solution for extracting the optimal role curve in real time so that by changing the inflow to the dam in the future without re-executing the optimization algorithm and using artificial intelligence techniques in the shortest time, the optimal role curve compatible with the new conditions can be obtained. In this research, the integration of the NSGA-II multi-objective algorithm and the WEAP simulation model is used to derive optimal policies based on historical data. Then, using the support vector machine method and the results obtained from the output of the optimization algorithm, a new structure is developed so that the optimal role curve can be obtained in real time and based on new inputs. The results indicate that the average error of the optimal role curve extracted from support vector machines is less than 2.5% compared to the role curve obtained from the NSGA-II algorithm in the calibration and validation stages. Therefore, the developed support vector machine model has the ability to quickly provide optimal operation policies in such a way that provides the possibility of optimal management of the system in real time, according to the new data of the inflow to the dam.
