To maximize profits, hydropower developers are shifting their focus from developing new power plants to meticulous management of existing assets. Benchmarking is an effective way to improve management efficiency. It can identify gaps between different companies, pinpoint their weaknesses, and help improve their operational efficiency. However, direct evaluation based on one or more indicators is not easy because there are significant differences in the distribution areas, social services, operating environments, hydraulic structures, mechanical equipment, and electrical equipment parameters among different hydropower stations. Therefore, establishing a standardized evaluation system for different hydropower station groups to improve the operational efficiency and management level of hydropower stations is a pressing theoretical and practical problem that needs to be solved.

Second, considering the differences in hardware facilities among different hydropower stations, it quantifies the efficiency indicator data of different hydropower stations and river basin entities into intensity values ​​based on complexity theory, enabling comparative analysis of different evaluation objects on the same dimension. Third, based on the efficiency indicator intensity values, it calculates the combined weights of efficiency indicators using the entropy weight method and the CRITIC method, obtaining indicator weights that take into account both data disorder and conflict. Finally, it uses an improved TOPSIS method to obtain the scheduling efficiency level of different hydropower stations and river basin entities over time, analyzing the changes in efficiency levels of different hydropower stations and river basin entities from a time perspective. This invention can identify hydropower stations with low efficiency and propose improvement suggestions, which has certain reference value for promoting the level of hydropower operation and management in my country.

[0046] In the formula, y j s represents the j-th benefit indicator; q β represents the q-th basic indicator; β0 represents the intercept; β q represents the regression coefficient of the q-th basic indicator; K represents the number of basic indicators;

[0047] Step 2.2: Calculate the deviation F of the basic index in each regression equation, and select the basic index with the largest deviation F. If F max >F 0.05 Then, this basic indicator is introduced into the model, and the deviation F value of each basic indicator in the model after introducing this indicator is tested. If F q <F 0.1 Then, the q-th basic indicator is removed until no indicator needs to be included in the equation or removed from the equation. After screening, the regression equations for the j-th benefit indicator and the basic indicators are as follows:

[0092] Step 4.6: Calculate the relative tracking progress using the new distance metric. A larger relative tracking progress value indicates that the benefit of the evaluated object i at time t is closer to the positive ideal solution, and the better the benefit. The calculation method for relative tracking progress is as follows:

[0202] Example 3:

[0203] This study analyzed the scheduling efficiency of 37 hydropower stations in different river basins of two provinces in southwestern my country over 12 months of the year, focusing on different hydropower stations and the main body of the river basin. The topology and specific parameters of the hydropower stations are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, 37 hydropower stations are distributed in the AF basin, and the hardware facilities of different hydropower stations vary greatly.

[0204] Figure 4 The difference between the raw data and intensity values ​​of the benefit indicators is shown. It can be seen that the standard deviation of the intensity values ​​of each benefit indicator decreased by more than 0.01 compared with the raw data. This indicates that quantifying the benefit indicators into intensity values ​​through complexity theory effectively eliminates the impact of data fluctuations caused by differences in the basic indicators of different power plants on the evaluation results. Figure 5 The results show the differences between the combined weighting of benefit indicators and the weighting results of the entropy weighting method and the CRITIC method. It can be seen that the average difference between the combined weighting results and the weighting results of the entropy weighting method and the CRITIC method is smaller than the difference between the weighting results of the entropy weighting method and the CRITIC method. In particular, the weights of indicators CHU, HUR, and SH are reduced by 0.036, 0.029, and 0.031, respectively. This indicates that the combined weighting balances the importance of the indicators obtained by the entropy weighting method and the CRITIC method, effectively preventing the influence of extreme weights from a single method on the evaluation results. Figure 6 This study shows the changes in dispatch efficiency levels for different hydropower stations and different river basins over 12 months of the year. It can be seen that the efficiency level against the schedule values ​​of hydropower stations ranges from 0.387 to 0.619. The median efficiency level against the schedule values ​​of hydropower stations from June to December is generally higher than that from January to May, indicating that the efficiency level of most hydropower stations from June to December is higher than that from January to May. Hydropower Station No. 14's efficiency level against the schedule values ​​ranks in the top 25% every month, indicating that the efficiency level of Hydropower Station No. 14 is higher than that of most hydropower stations. From... Figure 6 It can also be seen that the benefit level of the main body of the watershed is distributed between 0.434 and 0.595. According to the median benefit level, the main body of the watershed also shows a pattern that the benefit level from 6 to 12 months is higher than that from 1 to 5 months. Among them, the benefit level of watershed C ranks in the top two in all 12 months, showing a high level of scheduling benefit.
