Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower station environmental protection and soil and water conservation platform development technology, specifically to a design method for an intelligent management platform for environmental protection and soil and water conservation throughout the entire life cycle of a large-scale cascade hydropower station in a river basin. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, preliminary applications have begun in the field of environmental management for polluting projects. However, research and application of environmental information and intelligent management systems for non-polluting ecological projects such as hydropower are still incomplete. We have reached a window of opportunity for the research and application of environmental information systems for ecological projects.

[0003] Furthermore, existing hydropower station development system platforms only target a specific stage of the lifecycle. The environmental information construction phase for most hydropower projects primarily focuses on the operation phase, with the construction phase yet to be developed. Even when some platform prototypes emerge during the construction phase, they simply store and organize large amounts of environmental data as data, including preparation materials, complete management records, and all design drawings. This hinders smooth completion and acceptance, and fails to achieve standardized management or reduce communication costs. Integrated and intelligent management of multiple cascade hydropower stations across the entire basin throughout their entire lifecycle is still lacking. For the management units of cascade hydropower stations in the basin, optimal, unified, and intelligent management cannot be achieved, causing significant inconvenience to management work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a design method for an intelligent management platform for environmental protection and soil and water conservation throughout the entire life cycle of a large-scale cascade hydropower station in a river basin.

[0005] Therefore, the above-mentioned objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] (1) The system functional modules include: environmental protection and water conservation measures management module, environmental monitoring management module, water and soil conservation monitoring management module, etc. All the elements required for business are presented in the lightweight three-dimensional visualization system, and the on-site environmental protection management capability is improved by the cooperation between the internal management terminal and the mobile inspection terminal. The system realizes the data collection, entry, review, modification, query, comprehensive statistical analysis and early warning functions of all sub-functional modules.

[0007] (2) Based on the 0.5m high-resolution satellite stereo image pair data, a three-dimensional visualization platform is established in the B / S architecture to integrate water, air, noise, solid waste, pollution sources, ecology and other data related to environmental protection and soil and water conservation of the cascade hydropower stations in the basin, and to establish a comprehensive system for the cascade hydropower stations in the basin to achieve “one map”, “one database” and “one box” management.

[0008] One map: Integrating the environmental history, current status and trends, forecasts and predictions, and source tracing analysis of multiple cascade hydropower stations at different life stages across the entire basin to form a unified management map.

[0009] One database: A unified data source management standard to form a universal database for environmental protection and water conservation.

[0010] One box: Centered on the environmental data resource center of the cascade hydropower stations in the basin, it provides unified application support for environmental protection and soil and water conservation operations of the cascade hydropower stations in the entire basin.

[0011] (3) Integrate the power plant's daily environmental protection and water conservation work into the information system, adding modules such as water temperature monitoring, ecological flow monitoring, and fish habitat effect monitoring. At the same time, combine long-term monitoring data resources from the construction and operation periods to achieve 3-5 day water quality forecasts through models, provide timely warnings for water quality anomalies, and provide a basis for taking targeted control measures in advance;

[0012] (4) Integrate key environmental protection measures such as ecological flow release, water temperature improvement, fish collection and transportation system, sewage treatment, and hazardous waste management of multiple cascade power stations at different life stages throughout the entire basin. It has the function of real-time monitoring of their operation status and operation effect, as well as the function of real-time monitoring of the evolution of environmental elements such as surface water quality, terrestrial ecology, and aquatic ecology after the project is put into operation. It can also realize data analysis, forecasting, scheduling suggestions, report generation, and comprehensive display of the overall environmental protection of multiple cascade power stations at different life stages throughout the entire basin based on the integration of real-time monitoring data.

[0013] This invention provides a design method for an intelligent management platform for environmental protection and soil and water conservation throughout the entire life cycle of a large-scale cascade hydropower station in a river basin, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The development of an intelligent situational awareness platform for environmental protection and soil and water conservation of cascade hydropower stations in the whole basin reduces the complexity and dynamism of environmental protection management of hydropower projects due to the long development and construction cycle, complex construction conditions and many participating units of large-scale cascade hydropower stations in the basin, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It realizes the leap from extensive management to refined management of hydropower project management. Through the application of an integrated intelligent control system, intensive management becomes possible.

[0015] (2) Information exchange problems lead to errors in project changes and implementation, accounting for about 3% to 5% of the total project cost. Breaking down the information communication barriers that allow a large amount of information to be stored in a construction project, unifying the various information of the owner, design, supervision and construction units, and high-speed information processing enables project managers to plan, coordinate and control the project in detail, and also to track the work of contractors in detail to ensure the smooth completion of the project.

[0016] (3) It can promptly grasp a large amount of data and information, making it possible to formulate an accurate and feasible work plan, transforming the original post-event coordination into pre-event control, making it easier to foresee problems, thereby achieving the goal of preventing problems before they occur;

[0017] (4) Store and organize a large amount of environmental protection data during the construction process in the form of data, including data during the preparation period, complete records of the management process, and all design drawings and documents, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of subsequent completion acceptance.

[0018] (5) The development of cascade hydropower stations in a river basin often occurs at different stages of development. Therefore, adopting a systematic platform for situational awareness of the entire river basin can effectively and intelligently manage the environmental protection and soil and water conservation management of large-scale hydropower projects at different life stages. Detailed Implementation

[0020] A design method for an intelligent management platform for environmental protection and soil and water conservation throughout the entire life cycle of a large-scale cascade hydropower station in a river basin includes:

[0021] (1) Focusing on the integrated air-ground situational awareness means of "seeing from the sky, exploring from the air, and investigating from the ground", we will build a closed-loop management system with linkage and collaboration, intelligent analysis, and visualized command, as well as a real-time multi-dimensional integrated information service architecture and monitoring system.

[0022] From the sky: Utilizing satellites high in the sky, situational awareness is achieved for cascade hydropower stations across the entire basin, providing remote sensing satellite data support for system construction; From the air: Using drone data, aerial monitoring of monitored objects is achieved, addressing issues such as "time lag, blind spots in monitoring, and difficulty in detecting small-scale activities"; From the ground: During dynamic inspections, technologies such as GPS, RS, GIS, and wireless communication are fully utilized to view the on-site conditions of large-scale cascade hydropower stations across the entire basin, enabling the confirmation, location, and data collection of monitoring information.

[0023] (2) The intelligent management system architecture for environmental protection and soil and water conservation throughout the entire life cycle of large-scale cascade hydropower stations in a river basin is designed and established in accordance with three aspects: spatial database, spatial visualization, and spatial processing, using a hierarchical storage and updating spatial data organization method, and a complete data management and application mechanism is designed and established.

[0024] (3) The information management system covers the entire life cycle of hydropower station projects, including the early stage, construction period and operation period. It utilizes long-sequence data of the project to achieve full-cycle management of water conservancy and hydropower project construction.

[0025] The preliminary approval procedures for the project include pre-feasibility study, feasibility study, project establishment, environmental impact assessment and water conservation approval, etc.; the construction and operation periods include environmental management agencies, environmental management systems, supervision and inspection by administrative departments, environmental emergency response and drills, environmental training and education, etc.

[0026] (4) This platform adopts B / S architecture, mobile terminal development technology, and GIS data management and spatial analysis capabilities to realize the informatization of environmental and water conservation management processes and resource sharing.

[0027] As shown in Table 1, Table 1 provides an overview of the functions and sub-modules of the intelligent control system based on the design method of an intelligent management platform for environmental protection and soil and water conservation throughout the entire life cycle of a large-scale cascade hydropower station in a river basin. Specific modules include water environment prevention and control measures, air pollution prevention and control, solid waste management and control measures, soil and water conservation measures, and public health protection measures, covering all environmental and soil and water conservation measures outlined in the environmental impact report, soil and water conservation plan report, and approval documents of the hydropower project.

[0028] Integrate water, air, noise, solid waste, pollution sources, and ecological data related to environmental protection and soil and water conservation at cascade hydropower stations in the basin, and establish a comprehensive system for cascade hydropower stations in the basin to achieve "one map," "one database," and "one container" management.

[0029] A single map integrates historical environmental data, current trends, and source tracing analysis to create a comprehensive environmental protection measures map. A template for uploading operation records of environmental and water conservation facilities is provided, standardizing data definitions and management interfaces. Operating units upload operational data promptly according to the template's format requirements, enabling real-time access to operation and management information, while also supporting historical data queries.
