title = "Complexity analysis of generalized tank models",
abstract = "Lumped parameter models have been shown to be a useful tool for geothermal reservoir analysis and production planning. Tank models are a common form of lumped parameter models, incorporating tanks of given capacitance partially filled with fluid. Between the tanks are connections with given conductance, that allow fluid to flow between connected tanks with different fluid levels. In this work, we analyze how tank models of varying complexity compare in terms of accuracy and utility. We introduce an algorithm for reducing complexity in generalized tank models, apply it to the Laugarnes geothermal field in Reykjav{\'i}k and show how application of information criteria can be used to select an appropriate model.",
