Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a dynamic water level control method, specifically a dynamic water level control method for reservoir operation during the flood season based on forecast availability, belonging to the field of reservoir scheduling technology. Background Technology
[0002] Dynamic control of reservoir flood control levels is an inevitable choice for coordinating "water security, water resources, water ecology, and water economy." It marks a profound transformation in reservoir management from "passive defense" to "active regulation," and from "experience-based decision-making" to "intelligent decision-making," and has become a cutting-edge direction in global reservoir management. Given the uneven spatial and temporal distribution of water resources and the intensifying climate change in my country, its promotion and implementation are of strategic significance for ensuring national water security.
[0003] Currently, reservoir flood season water level control has two aspects: static and dynamic. The former calculates the flood limit water level characteristic value based on the worst-case combination of design floods, taking a conservative approach. This flood limit water level does not consider current inflow conditions, future rainfall and flood forecasts, etc., requiring the reservoir to be prepared for even the smallest floods at all times, leading to problems such as "empty reservoirs" during the flood season, wasting flood resources, and low comprehensive utilization efficiency of flood resources. The latter, by analyzing the accuracy and lead time of rainfall and flood forecasts, combined with the water storage and discharge capacity of the cascade reservoir group, determines the dynamic control range of the flood season water level. This flood limit water level can better realize the utilization of flood resources.
[0004] In the prior art, 1) a method and device for dynamic scheduling of flood control water level of a large plain reservoir disclosed in CN118036992A, the method determines the applicable target weather type based on historical weather forecast information and calculates the maximum and minimum values of dynamic scheduling of flood control water level, and performs dynamic adjustment of water level when the forecast weather is the target type. Although this scheme introduces weather forecast information, its water level fluctuation mainly depends on qualitative weather type classification, without quantitatively evaluating the accuracy and available forecast period of the forecast information, and without fully considering the influence of water inflow between the reservoir and the downstream flood control section, which may lead to insufficient flood control safety margin or insufficient exploitation of floating potential in its dynamic scheduling range in practical applications; 2) a method and device for dynamic scheduling of flood control water level of a large plain reservoir disclosed in CN118036992A, the method determines the applicable target weather type based on historical weather forecast information and calculates the maximum and minimum values of dynamic scheduling of flood control water level, and performs dynamic adjustment of water level when the forecast weather is the target type. The method disclosed in 0852525A, which is a dynamic adjustment method for reservoir flood control limit water level based on forecast error and tiered defense, divides precipitation forecast levels and determines the threshold for tiered control rainfall. Based on the future precipitation forecast level, it back-calculates the safe limit water level and broadens the possible range of precipitation values to increase the utilization of flood resources. However, this method mainly focuses on precipitation forecast itself and emphasizes the judgment of precipitation level for a single event. It does not incorporate the accuracy of hydrological forecasts into the comprehensive analysis system, and it lacks refined calculations for the dynamic decline of water level under complex inflow situations such as continuous rising water processes. Furthermore, it does not use actual historical inflow processes to fully verify the determined rising water level. Therefore, the accuracy and safety of water level control still need to be improved when dealing with complex and changeable hydrological situations.
[0005] In summary, existing technologies generally suffer from problems such as extensive use of forecast information, lack of quantitative differentiation of forecast accuracy and availability of forecast period, neglect of the dynamic impact of water inflow in the region, and lack of reverse safety calculation and real-world verification for continuous water rise processes. Summary of the Invention

This method starts from the analysis of basic hydrological and meteorological laws, and determines the boundary conditions for reservoir flood regulation calculation by quantifying the relationship between flood control water level and flow, analyzing the available limits of rainfall and water forecast lead time and accuracy, and determining the inflow process of the interval. It adopts the reverse calculation approach, from the design scenario to the actual calculation, and fully verifies the upper limit of reservoir operation water level during the flood season from the perspective of flood control safety.

This indicates the reservoir capacity corresponding to the flood control limit water level. This indicates the reservoir capacity corresponding to the rising water level. This represents the difference between the reservoir capacity corresponding to the rising water level and the reservoir capacity corresponding to the flood control limit water level. This indicates that if it is to be in the foreseeable period The water level will be pre-released to the flood control limit level, which requires an additional discharge on top of the existing inflow.
[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: In S5, if the inflow of water into the reservoir shows an upward trend during the forecast period, the calculation of the reservoir's potential water level during the continuous rise specifically includes: Assuming the foresight period is ( ), pre-discharge flow rate at Between presets Class; If the pre-discharge flow rate is When, set Current reservoir inflow and The maximum expected inflow at the end of the period are respectively Choose either the current inbound flow rate or the projected maximum inbound flow rate at the end of the period. and And must meet To conduct floating calculations; Pre-discharge volume during the forecast period Based on the reservoir water level and storage capacity curve Calculate the rising water level. ; Traverse all Combine and calculate the reservoir's rising water level for each combination.

This indicates the amount of water that can be pre-released within the forecast period. This indicates the water level at which the water can be raised.
[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention: In S5, from the perspective of the actual inflow of water into the reservoir, the verification of whether the reservoir can release water to the flood control limit level under different forecast periods and different pre-discharge flows specifically includes: Based on the actual hourly water inflow data of the reservoir over many years, several maximum inflow values were set. Based on different forecast periods ( ), from the maximum inbound flow value Counting backwards to the start of the forecast period, the inbound flow rate Several actual water inflow processes were obtained. ; Using different pre-leakage flow rates Calculate the amount of water that can be pre-discharged within the forecast period, and calculate the floating water level based on the reservoir water level and capacity curve; Traverse all Combined calculations are performed to determine the reservoir's floating water level under each combination in actual water inflow scenarios. , From a safety perspective, each Under this combination, the highest water level that the reservoir is allowed to rise to is ; In the formula: This represents a certain maximum inbound flow rate. express The forecast period is calculated by counting backwards from the maximum inbound flow rate to the inbound flow rate at the start of the forecast period. This indicates the amount of water that can be pre-released within the forecast period. This indicates the water level at which the water can be raised.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) This invention significantly improves the scientific, safe, and practical nature of dynamic water level control during the flood season by constructing a closed-loop control system that integrates basic hydrological and meteorological law analysis with actual inflow verification. Specifically, firstly, this method reveals the fundamental correlation mechanism between runoff generation and flood control targets in the basin through in-depth statistical analysis of historical rainstorm and flood characteristics and consistency verification of water level-discharge relationships at downstream flood control sections. This lays a solid hydrological foundation for subsequent dynamic control and avoids blind decision-making due to unclear understanding of basin characteristics. Secondly, this method innovatively introduces a quantitative assessment of meteorological and hydrological forecasting levels. By setting multiple thresholds for rainfall forecast accuracy, hydrological forecast accuracy, and process accuracy, this method scientifically selects usable forecast lead times, achieving a leap from "empirical use of forecasts" to "quantitative screening of forecasts based on availability," effectively avoiding flood control risks caused by blindly adopting low-precision forecast information. Finally, for the inflow between the reservoir and the downstream flood control section, this method provides multiple refined analysis approaches based on measured data or the area ratio method. Based on this, and combined with the maximum inflow between the section and the full discharge of the reservoir, the feasible range of pre-discharge flow is reasonably delineated, solving the technical problem of misjudging downstream flood control pressure due to ignoring the dynamic changes of inflow between the section.
[0020] (2) This invention adopts the reverse calculation approach and the multi-scenario traversal combination calculation method for two typical situations: stable water inflow and continuous water rise. From the perspective of flood control safety, it fully verifies the water level rise limit under different pre-discharge capacity and water inflow combination. Furthermore, it uses the actual hourly water inflow process over many years for empirical verification. Finally, the lowest safe value is taken as the final floating result by combining the simulation and actual results. This dual insurance mechanism of "design scenario deduction" and "actual process verification" greatly enhances the robustness and credibility of the dynamic control scheme and ensures that the reservoir can still safely fall back to the flood limit water level under extreme working conditions.
[0021] (3) This invention effectively resolves the contradiction between the waste of flood resources caused by traditional static control and the extensive forecasting and utilization and the single verification method in existing dynamic control methods. It realizes the maximum exploitation potential of flood resources without increasing the downstream flood control risk. Its implementation process is simple and easy to carry out, and the output results are intuitive and clear. It has extremely high engineering promotion and application value.

The dynamic control of the reservoir's flood control limit water level was analyzed based on the discharge capacity curve and the reservoir's flood control scheduling method. The reservoir's characteristic parameters include the normal storage water level, the flood control high water level, the dead water level, and their corresponding reservoir capacity and full discharge.
[0031] Fourth, interval flow analysis: If a major tributary flows into the interval, the inflow of that tributary is used as the inflow process of the interval; if no major tributary flows into the interval, but there is a long series of hydrological data at the reservoir dam site and the downstream flood control section, the inflow process of the interval is calculated using the flow difference; if no major tributary flows into the interval, but there is a long series of hydrological data at the reservoir dam site and no long series of hydrological data downstream, the inflow process of the interval is calculated using the area ratio method.

[0034] If no major tributaries flow into the interval, and there is a long series of hydrological data at the reservoir dam site but no long series of hydrological data downstream, then the area ratio method is used to calculate the inflow process of the interval, specifically using the following formula:

This indicates the catchment area represented by the reservoir dam site; Considering the maximum inflow of water between the reservoir and the flood control section Calculate the maximum outflow from the reservoir. Combined with the full discharge flow of the reservoir Determine the range of reservoir pre-discharge flow: when At that time, the reservoir's pre-discharge flow rate Otherwise, the reservoir should try to maintain the discharge level. ; In the formula: This represents the maximum value in the interval flow series. Indicates the pre-discharge flow rate of the reservoir. This indicates the maximum outflow from the reservoir.
[0036] Fifth, calculation of the upper limit of reservoir operating water level during the flood season: If the inflow process of the reservoir is stable during the forecast period, the degree of water level rise during the reservoir operation is determined by the reverse calculation approach; if the inflow process of the reservoir is rising during the forecast period, the water level that the reservoir can rise during the continuous rise process is calculated; from the perspective of the actual inflow of the reservoir, it is verified whether the reservoir can release water to the flood limit level under different forecast periods and different pre-discharge flows.
[0037] If the inflow to the reservoir is stable during the forecast period, the degree of rise in the reservoir's operating water level is determined using a reverse calculation approach, specifically including: Assuming the reservoir water level rises above the flood control limit. If the water level is meters, then the reservoir water level is... The corresponding storage capacity difference is ; If the forecast period is ( ), then the reservoir's inflow rate during the forecast period is On this basis, it is also necessary to increase purging ; like This indicates that the water level in the reservoir has risen to [a certain level]. ; In the formula: Indicates the flood control limit water level of the reservoir. This indicates the degree to which the water level rises above the flood control limit of the reservoir. Indicates the rising water level of the reservoir. This indicates the reservoir capacity corresponding to the flood control limit water level. This indicates the reservoir capacity corresponding to the rising water level. This represents the difference between the reservoir capacity corresponding to the rising water level and the reservoir capacity corresponding to the flood control limit water level. This indicates that if it is to be in the foreseeable period The water level will be pre-released to the flood control limit level, which requires an additional discharge on top of the existing inflow.
[0038] If the inflow to the reservoir shows an upward trend during the forecast period, the specific water level that the reservoir can rise under a sustained rise includes: Assuming the foresight period is ( ), pre-discharge flow rate at Several levels are preset between them, that is Class; If the pre-discharge flow rate is When, set Current reservoir inflow and The maximum expected inflow at the end of the period are respectively Choose either the current inbound flow rate or the projected maximum inbound flow rate at the end of the period. and And must meet To conduct floating calculations; Pre-discharge volume during the forecast period Based on the reservoir water level and storage capacity curve Calculate the rising water level. ; Traverse all Combine and calculate the reservoir's rising water level for each combination.

This indicates the amount of water that can be pre-released within the forecast period. This indicates the water level at which the water can be raised.
[0039] From the perspective of actual reservoir inflow, the verification of whether the reservoir can release water to the flood control limit level under different forecast periods and different pre-discharge flows specifically includes: Based on the actual hourly water inflow data of the reservoir over many years, several maximum inflow values were set.

[0040] Sixth, combining the simulation and actual inflow calculation results, for each combination of forecast period and pre-discharge flow, the lowest value that the reservoir is allowed to float is taken as the result of the reservoir's operating water level fluctuation under this forecast period and pre-discharge scenario.
[0041] Example 2, as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, this embodiment takes a certain station as an example and provides a method for dynamic control of reservoir operation water level during the flood season based on forecast availability, including the following steps: (1) Conduct basic analysis of hydrological and meteorological laws.
[0042] (2) Analysis of the relationship between water level and flow rate at the downstream flood control point of the reservoir.
[0043] Based on the analysis of compiled data from a certain station from 2017 to 2023, a water level-discharge relationship curve for recent years was plotted. Figure 2 As can be seen from Table 1, the water level-discharge relationship does not change much throughout the year, and the water level-discharge relationship in each year is a single linear distribution. From the perspective of interannual distribution, the water level-discharge relationship line in the high water part is basically stable, while the water level-discharge relationship line in the medium and low water parts has a certain rightward skew, that is, the corresponding flow rate increases at the same water level.
[0044] Table 1 shows the statistical table of corresponding flow rate changes at a certain station's warning water level and guaranteed water level (unit: m³). 3 / s)
[0045] (3) Analysis of the meteorological and hydrological forecasting level of the basin.
[0046] We collected hydrological and meteorological forecast products from many years and conducted an analysis of the basin's meteorological and hydrological forecasting capabilities.
[0047] Regarding the accuracy of rainfall forecasts, see Tables 2 and 3: Table 2 shows the 24-hour forecast scores for a certain river during the flood season from May to October 2022-2023.
[0048] Table 3 shows the 48-hour forecast scores for a certain river during the flood season from May to October 2022-2023.
[0049] Regarding the accuracy of hydrological forecasts, a total of 184 short-term hydrological forecasts were issued from May to October 2024. The accuracy of short-term forecasts at various cross-sections was assessed, and the results for a specific station are shown in Table 4. Analysis of the accuracy assessment table shows that the 48-hour forecast accuracy at a certain station on the main cross-section of the Dadu River ranged from 92.0% to 96.7%. While the accuracy gradually decreased with increasing lead time, the 48-hour short-term forecast accuracy at this station remained above 90%, meeting the relevant requirements.
[0050] Table 4 shows the accuracy assessment of short-term forecasts for a certain station in 2024.
[0051] (4) Analysis of factors affecting the dynamic control of reservoir flood control water level.
[0052] Collect and organize reservoir characteristic parameters and water level-capacity curves. Data such as discharge capacity curves and reservoir flood control scheduling methods.
[0053] (5) Conduct interval flow analysis.
[0054] Considering the inflow from the Shuangjiangkou Dam site to the Dajin section during the flood season, the drainage area of this section accounts for 2.86% of the Dajin station's total drainage area. Using the maximum daily average flow from May to October during the flood season at the Dajin station from 2008 to 2024, and employing the hydrological area analogy method, the maximum inflow from the Shuangjiangkou Dam site to the Dajin section is calculated to be Q_interval_max = 100 m³ / s.
[0055] (6) If the inflow process of the reservoir is stable during the forecast period, the degree of rise of the reservoir operating water level shall be determined by the reverse calculation approach.
[0056] Based on the analysis of the forecast period Tp, the pre-discharge flow Qf, and the forecast flow Qp, when the forecast inflow within the forecast period Tp is greater than Qp, the reservoir uniformly pre-discharges Qr in a uniform manner, so as to lower the reservoir level to the flood control limit level within the forecast period without increasing the downstream flood control pressure as much as possible. The Shuangjiangkou Reservoir pre-discharged its water level from 2481-2500m to 2480m within 12h, 24h, and 48h. The increased discharge flow rates required for the reservoir level to drop to the flood control limit level within different forecast periods are shown in Table 5.
[0057] Table 5 shows the increased discharge flow rates as the reservoir water level drops to the flood control limit level during different forecast periods.
[0058] (7) If the inflow of water to the reservoir shows an upward trend during the forecast period, calculate the water level that the reservoir can rise during the continuous rise.
[0059] Taking a less favorable scenario, for a continuously rising inflow during the forecast period, the rise in water level is analyzed as a linear change. Therefore, different inflow conditions (Qin), different forecast flow rates (Qp) (1000–3000 m³ / s), pre-release flow rates (600–3000 m³ / s), and a pre-lowering water level of 2480 m are considered. The corresponding pre-release volume and upward displacement space are also considered for different forecast periods (12h, 24h, 48h).

[0081] Working Principle: By analyzing hydrological and meteorological patterns, forecast accuracy, and inflow characteristics within a given area, the safe upward fluctuation limit of the reservoir's operating water level during the flood season is calculated in reverse, achieving a dynamic balance between flood control safety and flood resource utilization. First, historical rainstorm and flood data are collected, and statistical methods are used to reveal the causes, spatiotemporal distribution, and evolution patterns of rainstorms, laying the foundation for subsequent analysis. Simultaneously, the water level-discharge relationship at downstream control sections is plotted to verify consistency and determine a comprehensive relationship line to quantify flood control objectives. Second, the basin's meteorological and hydrological forecasting level is assessed. By evaluating the accuracy of rainfall processes, the precision of precipitation forecasts at different lead times, and the precision of hydrological forecasts, lead times with high availability are selected as the basis for water level fluctuation calculations. Next, inter-area flow analysis is conducted: if a tributary flows into the area, the tributary inflow is directly used; if there is no tributary but data is available from both upstream and downstream, the inter-area inflow is calculated using the flow difference; if there is no downstream data, the area ratio method is used for estimation, and the maximum reservoir discharge is determined by combining this with the maximum inflow within the area, thereby defining the pre-discharge range. Based on this, the upward floating limit is calculated for different inflow situations: if the inflow is stable during the forecast period, a reverse calculation is used, assuming the water level rises by a certain margin, to check whether the increased discharge flow can safely pre-release the water to the flood control limit within the forecast period; if the inflow shows an upward trend, a combination of multi-level pre-discharge flow, current inflow, and maximum flow at the end of the forecast period is preset, and the pre-dischargeable water volume is calculated iteratively and the allowable upward floating water level is deduced, taking the lowest value of the safe upper limit among each combination. Finally, using the actual hourly inflow process over many years, pre-discharge scenarios under different forecast periods and pre-discharge flows are simulated, the success rate of safe pre-discharge is verified and statistically analyzed, and the simulation and actual calculation results are combined. For each combination of forecast period and pre-discharge flow, the lowest allowable upward floating water level is selected as the final operating water level fluctuation result, thereby maximizing the potential for flood resource utilization without increasing downstream flood control risks.
