Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydropower station early warning, and in particular to a method and device for predicting and early warning water levels of cascade hydropower station reservoirs. Background Art

[0002] As an important form of renewable energy generation, the operation and management of hydropower plants are of great significance to ensure the stability of power supply, efficient use of water resources and environmental protection. The power generation plan and gate discharge operation of hydropower plants are key factors affecting the changes in reservoir water levels. Accurately predicting the changes in water levels in the next 24 hours is crucial for the optimized operation and safe management of hydropower plants.

[0003] In the existing operation and management of hydropower plants, the formulation of power generation plans mainly relies on manual experience and historical data. Although it can reflect the relationship between power demand and reservoir water storage to a certain extent, its prediction accuracy and flexibility need to be improved in the face of complex and changeable hydrological and meteorological conditions and the comprehensive deployment of the spot power market. At the same time, the gate flood discharge operation also mainly relies on manual judgment and preset flood discharge strategies, lacking scientific and accurate prediction methods, which may lead to problems such as excessive fluctuations in reservoir water levels, untimely or excessive flood discharge in actual operations, affecting the operating efficiency and safety of hydropower plants.

[0004] The prior art has the following problems:

This is the current situation of the electricity market. It is difficult for cascade hydropower plants to accurately measure the water volume and water level in a timely manner when the planned curve changes, obtain the water level changes in the future, and issue early warnings.

[0006] Reservoir water level management is difficult: Since the timeliness of water level calculation cannot meet the requirements, reservoir water level management becomes more difficult, and power generation plans and flood discharge strategies need to be adjusted frequently, increasing operating costs and management difficulty.

[0058] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0059] It is an urgent problem to calculate the water level changes of downstream cascade power stations in a timely manner after the power generation plan of existing hydropower plants is changed and the gate opening is adjusted. By introducing advanced measurement models and real-time data support, accurate prediction of water levels in the next 24 hours can be achieved, providing strong support for the optimized operation and safety management of hydropower plants.

[0060] To address this problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for predicting and warning the reservoir water level of a cascade hydropower station. By calculating the changes in the reservoir water level of the downstream hydropower station in the next 24 hours, a reference is provided for downstream load distribution and load time distribution, and an early warning is provided for water level exceeding the limit in the downstream power station.

[0061] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The following is a flow chart of a method for predicting and warning the water level of a cascade hydropower station provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0062] Step 101, under the automatic setting condition, according to the load planning curve of the upstream hydropower station, calculate the startup and load distribution of each unit in the upstream hydropower station at each moment.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the calculation condition, I is automatic calculation, II is manual calculation, and the default is I automatic calculation. The manual calculation process will be described after the automatic calculation is described.

[0064] As a possible implementation method, according to the capacity of the unit and the minimum number of units in stable operation, the number of units required to be started at the current load point and the automatically generated load distribution are calculated, where the load of a single unit = the total active load of the whole plant / the number of units in operation.

[0065] In a possible embodiment, if the single unit capacity of station A is 247.5MW and the stable operation range is 120-247.5MW, it has four units. The number of units to be started and the load distribution are determined according to the following rules:

[0066] (1) Single unit operation (120-247.5MW)

[0067] When the total plant load is between 120MW and 247.5MW, only one unit needs to be activated. A single unit can cover this load range and remain within a stable operating range (120-247.5MW), ensuring that the system still operates efficiently at low load.

[0068] (2) Two units in operation (247.5-495MW)

[0069] When the total plant load is between 247.5MW and 495MW, a single unit is no longer sufficient to carry the load, so two units are activated. At this time, the load range of each unit is 123.75MW to 247.5MW, which is still within the stable operating range of each unit (120-247.5MW). This configuration ensures that the load can be reasonably distributed to the two units at medium load levels.

[0070] (3) Three units in operation (495-742.5MW)

[0071] When the total plant load is between 495MW and 742.5MW, two units are not enough to cover the load, and three units need to be activated. At this time, the load range of each unit is 165MW to 247.5MW, which is still within the stable operation range of the unit. This configuration is suitable for higher load operation requirements.

[0072] (4) Four units in operation (742.5-990MW)

[0073] When the total plant load is between 742.5MW and 990MW, four units need to operate simultaneously. The load range of each unit is 185.625MW to 247.5MW, which also remains in the stable operating range. This configuration is used for full load or near full load operation.

[0074] Step 102, based on the calculated load distribution and gate opening status, calculate the total outflow of the upstream hydropower station.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, step 102 specifically further includes the following steps:

[0076] Step 201, obtaining corresponding points of the unit characteristic curves of each unit in the upstream hydropower station at corresponding load points.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the current load point of each unit in the upstream hydropower station, the corresponding point of the characteristic curve of each unit at the load point is obtained. By reading these characteristic points, the operating characteristics of each unit under the load can be determined, including information such as flow, efficiency and power output.

[0078] Step 202, calculating the corresponding flow of each unit in the upstream hydropower station at the load point.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, after the corresponding point of the characteristic curve of the unit is determined, the specific flow output of each unit at the current load point can be calculated using the information of the point.

[0080] Step 203, the flow rates of each unit in the upstream hydropower station at the load point are accumulated and calculated to obtain the power generation flow rate of the entire plant at that moment.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the flow value of each unit calculated in step 202 is accumulated to obtain the total power generation flow of the upstream hydropower station at that moment.

[0082] It can be understood that the accumulated power generation flow represents the total water flow of the entire hydropower station at the current moment, that is, the total water flow consumption of all units when operating under load. This power generation flow value is the key part of the subsequent calculation of the total outflow flow because it represents the water flow demand when operating under load.

[0083] Step 204, collecting the discharge flow of the gate of the upstream hydropower station at the current moment.

[0084] In the daily dispatch of hydropower stations, the discharge flow of the gate is a dynamically changing parameter, which is mainly used to control the water level in the reservoir or provide ecological flow for the downstream.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the actual discharge flow data of the gate at the current moment can be collected by a sensor or a monitoring system. This flow represents the water flow discharged through the gate in addition to power generation.

[0086] Step 205, calculating the total outflow flow of the upstream hydropower station at the corresponding moment by calculating the algebraic sum of the gate discharge flow and the power generation flow.

[0087] After obtaining the power generation flow of the upstream hydropower station and the gate discharge flow, this step performs algebraic addition on the two to obtain the total outflow flow of the upstream hydropower station at that moment.

[0088] Step 103, using the flow transfer delay factor, the total outflow of the upstream hydropower station is delayed in time as the total inflow of the downstream hydropower station.

[0089] It can be understood that the total outflow of the upstream hydropower station is calculated by the algebraic sum of the power generation flow and the gate discharge flow, and this outflow represents the total water flow output of the upstream hydropower station at the current moment. This outflow will be transmitted downstream, but due to the length of the river channel, terrain resistance and other reasons, there will be a certain delay when it reaches the downstream hydropower station.

[0090] In order to calculate the water flow transfer time more accurately, the embodiment of the present application introduces a flow transfer delay factor, which is used to dynamically adjust the time delay for the upstream water flow to reach the downstream.

[0091] Specifically, the traffic transfer delay factor is dynamically adjusted based on the traffic size and complies with the following rules:

[0092] When the total outflow of the upstream hydropower station is equal to the ecological flow (minimum flow), the delay time is set to the maximum value t;

[0093] When the total outflow of the upstream hydropower station is 100m greater than the ecological flow 3 / s, the delay time required for traffic to reach the downstream is reduced by 5 minutes;

[0094] When the total outflow of the upstream hydropower station is 200m greater than the ecological flow 3 / s, the delay time required for traffic to reach the downstream is reduced by 10 minutes.

[0095] And so on, the delay time is dynamically adjusted according to the flow level, and finally the total inflow flow of the downstream hydropower station is obtained.

[0096] Step 104, calculating the total outflow flow of the downstream hydropower station according to the load planning curve of the downstream hydropower station.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the total outflow flow of the downstream hydropower station is calculated according to the load planning curve of the downstream hydropower station, which is similar to steps 101-102, that is, the startup and load distribution of each unit in the downstream hydropower station at each moment are calculated according to the load planning curve of the downstream hydropower station, and the total outflow flow of the downstream hydropower station is calculated based on the calculated load distribution and the gate opening state. This application does not repeat the description and description of this.

[0098] Step 105, calculating the change of the reservoir capacity of the downstream hydropower station through the algebraic sum of the total inflow and the total outflow of the downstream hydropower station, and calculating the change of the outflow water level based on the change of the reservoir capacity.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, step 105 specifically further includes the following steps:

[0100] Step 301, calculate the difference between the total inflow and the total outflow of the downstream hydropower station at each moment, and obtain the water storage capacity of the downstream hydropower station at that moment.

[0101] At each moment, the total inflow of the downstream hydropower station represents the amount of water flowing into the reservoir, while the total outflow is the amount of water flowing out of the reservoir through power generation or discharge from the gate. By calculating the difference between the inflow and outflow, the water storage capacity of the reservoir at that moment can be obtained, that is, the net change in water in the reservoir at this moment.

[0102] It can be understood that if the inflow is greater than the outflow, the difference is positive, which means that the reservoir stores more water at that moment and the water level will rise; if the outflow is greater than the inflow, the difference is negative, which means that the reservoir has lost water at this moment and the water level will drop.

[0103] Step 302, time-integrate the water storage at discrete moments to obtain the total water storage in a time period T.

[0104] In this step, the water storage at each moment calculated in step 301 is time-integrated to obtain the total water storage of the reservoir in the specified time period T. The total water storage represents the increase or decrease of the overall water volume of the reservoir in the time period T, and is an important indicator for evaluating the change of reservoir storage capacity.

[0105] As a possible implementation method, the water storage at discrete moments is time-integrated by a numerical integration method (such as the trapezoidal method or the Simpson integration method) so as to accurately calculate the total water volume change in the time period.

[0106] Step 303, the total water storage volume is accumulated based on the current storage capacity of the downstream hydropower station to obtain the storage capacity of the downstream hydropower station at time T.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the storage capacity of the downstream hydropower station at the current moment is first obtained as the initial storage capacity, and then the total water storage in the T time period obtained in step 302 is added to the current storage capacity to obtain the storage capacity of the downstream hydropower station at the T moment.

[0108] Step 304, the reservoir water level of the downstream hydropower station at time T is obtained by querying the reservoir capacity curve, and the reservoir capacity curve provides the corresponding reservoir water levels under different reservoir capacities.

[0109] It is understandable that downstream hydropower stations usually have a reservoir capacity curve, which describes the water level of the reservoir under different reservoir capacities. The reservoir capacity curve is an empirical or theoretical data relationship, usually obtained through measurement, which is used to quickly find the water level corresponding to a specific reservoir capacity, so that managers and systems can quickly predict the water level.

[0110] Therefore, the reservoir water level of the downstream hydropower station at time T can be obtained through the reservoir capacity curve.

[0111] Step 106, draw a reservoir water level change curve according to the reservoir water level change, and implement water level warning by comparing it with the set water level warning parameters.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, step 106 further includes the following steps:

[0113] Step 401, drawing a reservoir water level change curve based on the discrete reservoir water levels to display the highest and lowest water levels of the day.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, by recording the reservoir water level of the downstream hydropower station at different time points in a day, these discrete water level points are plotted into a continuous reservoir water level change curve to reflect the reservoir water level change trend throughout the day. In addition, during the plotting process, the highest and lowest water levels of the day are identified and marked, thereby helping managers to understand the fluctuation range of the reservoir water level at a glance.

[0115] In addition, if the dispatching side changes the upstream or downstream load planning curve (including the load distribution deviation from the expected due to the change in the number of units in operation), or load deviation caused by frequency modulation, gate adjustment, etc., timely calculation will be performed to obtain the latest reservoir water level change curve. Through automated calculation, the system can quickly reflect the water level trend after load adjustment or gate adjustment, reduce the delay of manual intervention, and ensure that reservoir managers can grasp the latest water level changes in real time, so as to facilitate timely response to sudden water level changes and enhance the flexible regulation and control capabilities of hydropower stations.

[0116] Step 402, setting the control water level and the flood limit water level as the reference value for water level warning.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, a control water level and a flood limit water level are set as warning water level benchmarks to determine whether the water level is within a safe range.

[0118] The control water level is the safe upper limit water level of the reservoir under normal circumstances. When the water level approaches or exceeds this level, the outflow flow needs to be adjusted to maintain the water level within a reasonable range. The flood limit water level is the highest allowable water level of the reservoir during the flood season. Exceeding this level may bring overflow or flood risks, so the flood limit water level is set as a more stringent warning benchmark.

[0119] By setting these two water level benchmark values, water level changes can be monitored, and warnings can be issued when the water level approaches or exceeds these benchmarks, reminding reservoir managers to take corresponding control measures.

[0120] Step 403, analyze the reservoir water level change curve to determine the number of times the highest water level and the lowest water level exceed the control water level, and when it is found that the reservoir water level exceeds the flood limit water level, issue a red warning to inform that the gate or load plan curve needs to be modified.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, the generated reservoir water level change curve is analyzed, and the number of times the highest and lowest water levels of the day exceed the control water level is calculated. By counting the number of times the control water level is exceeded, it can be understood whether the reservoir frequently exceeds the normal safe water level, thereby evaluating whether the load scheduling or gate management needs to be adjusted. A large number of times the control water level is exceeded may indicate that there are unreasonable aspects in the load plan or gate opening setting, which need to be optimized to ensure that the reservoir water level fluctuates within a safe range.

[0122] In addition, when the system detects that the water level in the reservoir water level change curve exceeds the flood limit water level, it immediately triggers a red warning to remind managers that the current water level has exceeded the safety threshold and may bring risks such as floods and overflows. At this time, it is recommended that managers adjust the gate opening or load planning curve in time to reduce the reservoir water level by increasing the outflow or reducing the inflow.

[0123] This early warning mechanism ensures timely response when the water level reaches the dangerous range, ensuring the safety of the reservoir and downstream areas and avoiding potential damage caused by abnormal water levels.

[0124] In addition, in view of the need for simulation calculations before modifying the planned curve and the need for coordinated experiments in power plants, the embodiment of the present application proposes a set of manually set conditional calculations. Under the manually set conditions, the load planning curve and unit startup status issued by the dispatcher are manually corrected, and after the conditions are successfully set, the corresponding reservoir water level change curve is re-fitted.

[0125] The computer then analyzes the reservoir water level curve, gives the analysis result, and repeats the early warning judgment process shown in step 106.

[0126] In order to implement the above-mentioned embodiment, the present application also proposes a prediction and early warning device for the reservoir water level of a cascade hydropower station.
