Short-Term Optimal Scheduling Method of Cascade Hydropower Stations Based on Segmented Load Construction Strategy by LI Chonghao, LI Shushan, TANG Hongbing, LIU Huan, MA Xiangyu, LIAO Shengli

“…With the rapid development of China's economy,electricity demand has increased.As the largest clean energy in China,hydropower has been put into large-scale and centralized production,and the most complex large-scale hydropower system in the world is formed.However,short-term hydropower optimal scheduling faces the serious challenge of the curse of dimensionality due to massive cascade hydropower stations,numerous hydropower constraints,and time-sensitive scheduling requirements.Therefore,this paper proposes a short-term optimal scheduling method for cascade hydropower stations based on a segmented load construction strategy.First,the selection rules of the hydropower stations to be regulated are formulated from the perspective of the regulation performance,location,and task of the cascade hydropower stations.Then,a method is given to divide the complex original load into two sub-load processes,namely the segmented load process with time reduction scale and the residual load process with frequent fluctuations.Finally,the adjustment method is given,and the particle swarm algorithm is used for traversal and optimization at different stages,so as to find the load division process when the target is optimal.By taking seven cascade hydropower stations in a certain river basin in southwest China as research objects,a mature particle swarm algorithm is used to simulate the typical day during the flood and dry periods.The results show that the segmented load construction strategy proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the solution complexity,and the appropriate number of segments can improve the solution efficiency while ensuring the solution quality.In addition,this method greatly reduces the output fluctuation of auxiliary hydropower stations and helps to reduce the difficulty of scheduling and unit loss.Therefore,the method proposed in this paper can provide a reference for solving the short-term scheduling of large-scale cascade hydropower stations and is of good practical value.…”

Control Index for Water Regulation in Fish Breeding Season for Dongta Spawning Ground after Operation of Datengxia Gorge Water Conservancy Project by LIU Lishi, WANG Li, GE Xiaoxia, TAN Xichang

“…After the operation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project,the change in the hydrological rhythm of the downstream river channel may have a certain impact on the function of the Dongta spawning ground about 10 km downstream.To maintain the normal function of the Dongta spawning ground,we should analyze the hydrological rhythm process required for fish spawning and use it as a control index to implement ecological regulation of reservoirs and thus restore the ecological environment of river channels.According to the observation data of early fish resources and hydrology over the past dozen years,the correlation between early fish resources and hydrological characteristic values in the Dongta spawning ground is analyzed by different statistical methods such as grey relational analysis and linear regression.In combination with the practical experience of ecological regulation in the Xijiang River Basin,the control index requirements for water regulation during the fish breeding period by the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project are put forward.Specifically,by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project from May to July every year,when the section flow rate of Dahuangjiangkou exceeds 3 500 m³/s,the water rise duration shall be no less than four days,with the daily rise rate in the water rise stage of more than 1 000 m³/s.The time for water to recede shall be no less than three days,and the flow rate in the water recession stage shall be above 3 500 m³/s.The regulation shall be performed at least once each year.The research results can provide a technical reference for maximizing the function of the Dongta spawning ground in the fish breeding period by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project.…”
