[0097] The guide vane opening analysis model is:
[0098] O 1 =f(Q id )=a*(Q id ) b +c
[0099] Among them, O 1is the ideal guide vane opening. The function f(x) represents the relationship between the guide vane opening and the water inflow, which is obtained based on water temperature data, water quality data, altitude, and the characteristic curve data of water inflow-guide vane opening. a, b, and c are the coefficients, exponents, and parameters of the function f(x), where the coefficient a and the exponent b are obtained through experiments based on the characteristic curve data; the parameter c is obtained through statistics during the historical operation of the hydropower station based on water temperature data, water quality data, and altitude, representing the deviation.

[0101] Based on the water turbine speed N and the conversion efficiency of the generator regarding speed-output power Calculate the current generator output power P f ,
[0102] Preset the ideal output power threshold range Pf 0 and the opening step ΔE;
[0103] When P f ∈ P f0 , no fine-tuning is performed;
[0104] When P f < P f0 , the ideal guide vane opening O 1 is fine-tuned downward to obtain the fine-tuned ideal guide vane opening O 2 = O 1 - ΔE;
[0105] When P f > P f0 , the ideal guide vane opening O 1 is fine-tuned upward to obtain the fine-tuned ideal guide vane opening O 2 = O 1 + ΔE;
[0106] After each cycle time, repeat the above fine-tuning process; that is, if after one cycle P f still does not belong to P f0 , the fine-tuned ideal guide vane opening O 2 is continuously increased or decreased to obtain the fine-tuned ideal guide vane opening O n , n = 1, 2, 3, …, n;
[0107] If the current head height H ≥ H max or H ≤ H minStop fine-tuning and restore the ideal guide vane opening O 1 .
[0108] An abnormal intrusion analysis unit, which is connected to the environmental information collection unit, analyzes whether there is abnormal intrusion of personnel in each sensitive area based on image recognition technology;
[0109] First, extract moving objects in the video image through background subtraction technology;
[0110] Based on the object detection algorithm or instance segmentation algorithm, detect whether the moving object is a pedestrian;
[0111] Define several sensitive areas in the video image as areas where entry is prohibited;
[0112] When the detected pedestrian enters the defined sensitive area, record the event and generate an analysis result indicating that there is abnormal intrusion of personnel in this sensitive area.
[0113] A decision-making generation unit, which is connected to the generator feedback unit and the abnormal intrusion analysis unit, is used to summarize the fine-tuned ideal guide vane opening and the abnormal intrusion situation and generate a control strategy.
[0114] It should be noted that in the water inflow analysis model , (ρ*g*H*Q) represents the actual output power parameter of the water turbine, which refers to the actual power generated by the water turbine under the current operating conditions; represents the ideal power amplified according to the efficiency of the water turbine ; the ideal water inflow Qid represents the water inflow corresponding to the ideal power required to make the current head height reach the expected head height;
[0115] For example, assume we have the following given conditions:
[0116] The current head height H = 50 meters;
[0117] The maximum head height H max = 60 meters;
[0118] The minimum head height H min = 40 meters;
[0119] The expected head height H t is the mean of the maximum head height H max and the minimum head height H min , that is, H t = 50 meters;
[0120] The current water flow Q = 100 cubic meters per second;
[0121] The water intake efficiency of the water turbine regarding actual power - ideal power
[0122] The density of water ρ = 1000 kg / m 3 ;
[0123] The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m / s 2 ;
[0124] Calculate the ideal water inflow Q id ;
[0125] 1. Calculate the actual output power parameters of the water turbine:
[0126] (ρ * g * H * Q) = 1000 * 9.81 * 50 * 100 = 4905 kw
[0127] 2. Ideal power
[0128]
[0129] 3. Calculate the ideal water inflow Q id :
[0130] Q id = 5611326.78 w / (1000 * 9.81 * 50) = 114.51 m 3 / s.
[0131] The guide vane opening analysis model O 1 = f(Q id ) = a * (Q id ) b + c, where the coefficients a and the exponent b are obtained through experiments based on the characteristic curve data, and the characteristic curve data is provided by the water turbine supplier; the parameter c is obtained from the statistical data of water temperature, water quality, and altitude during the historical operation of the hydropower station, representing the deviation;
[0132] For example, based on the characteristic curve data and the statistics during the historical operation, the coefficient a = 0.01, the exponent b = 1, and the parameter c = -0.1 are obtained;
[0133] Then the ideal guide vane opening O 1 = 0.01 * (114.51) 1 + (-0.1) ≈ 1.15 - 0.1 = 1.05;
[0134] The ideal guide vane opening of 1.05 here is dimensionless and represents the percentage of the guide vane opening or a certain standardized value; in practical applications, the unit of the guide vane opening depends on the specific water turbine model and design.

[0142] 3. Behavior analysis algorithms:
[0143] Object detection and tracking algorithms can be combined to identify specific behavior patterns, such as breaking in, etc.;
[0144] The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0145] Background modeling: First, foreground moving objects can be extracted through techniques such as background subtraction;
[0146] Object detection: Use one of the above algorithms to detect pedestrians in the video;
[0147] Region definition: Define one or more regions of interest (ROIs) on the image as "no-entry" areas;
[0148] Breaking-in detection: When the detected pedestrians enter these defined areas, trigger an alarm or record the event;
[0149] To improve the robustness and adaptability of the system, the following strategies can also be adopted:
[0150] Multi-model fusion: Combine the output results of different models to increase the accuracy of detection;
[0151] Model training: Use a large number of labeled datasets for training to ensure that the model can identify pedestrians in various situations;
[0152] Environmental adaptability adjustment: Adjust the model parameters according to the actual application scenario, such as factors like lighting conditions and camera angles;
[0153] Based on the result of the generator feedback unit, adjust the ideal guide vane opening to maintain the desired head height and generator output power, and reduce the impact of abnormal environmental factors on the power generation capacity.
