high efficiency in optimization of reservoir operation can be achieved, as shown in [11]. However, it is worth mentioning that the representation of the KL expansion is specific to inflow distribution. Different inflow ensembles i.e., the ESP may result in different KL expansion form in which the parameter of M may vary from case to case. 5. CONCULUSIONS The ensemble inflow and its associated uncertainty can be modeled by a KL representation with only three terms, meaning three variables. This result in a high efficiency in modeling the propagation and optimal control of the inflow uncertainty in reservoir operation, comparing to Monte Carlo method which normally sampling thousand times in each optimization routine.
