Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of irrigation devices, and in particular relates to a series-parallel circulation irrigation device for ecological slope protection groups at different elevations in a pumped storage power station and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] my country has been committed to the construction and development of water conservancy and hydropower engineering facilities. As an efficient energy storage and conversion facility, pumped storage power stations are increasingly used around the world. They balance the fluctuations in supply and demand of the power grid by using excess electricity to pump water from low places to high places during low electricity consumption, and then release water to generate electricity during peak electricity consumption. Pumped storage power stations play an important role in peak-valley load regulation and frequency control of the power system due to their flexibility, high efficiency and high-power energy storage.

[0003] However, the construction and operation of pumped storage power stations will inevitably have a series of impacts on the surrounding environment. During the construction of the power station, large-scale earthwork and rock excavation are inevitable, which leads to the destruction of the original vegetation, the exposure of the slopes, and the intensification of soil erosion. If ecological restoration is not carried out in time, these exposed slopes will become the main source of soil erosion, seriously affecting the surrounding ecological environment. The lack of vegetation makes it impossible to effectively absorb and retain rainwater, resulting in an increase in surface runoff and affecting the downstream water quality.

[0004] In recent years, relevant government departments have paid more and more attention to the ecological restoration of slopes. However, there is a large height difference between the upper and lower reservoirs of pumped storage power stations, and the slopes generated by power station construction often have significant elevation differences. Due to the limitations of terrain and geological conditions, the allocation and transportation of irrigation water may face difficulties. This makes irrigation more difficult and poses a great challenge to the growth and recovery of vegetation. In addition, these slopes require a lot of human resources to maintain. The actual situation is that the lack of human resources has caused some slopes to be inadequately maintained, resulting in poor ecological restoration of the slopes. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a series-parallel circulation irrigation device for ecological slope protection groups at different elevations in a pumped storage power station and an operation method. The device can make full use of the pumped water resources to achieve targeted automatic irrigation of ecological slope protection groups at different elevations, and can also filter excess water resources for irrigation and power generation on lower slopes. The device is organically combined with the pumped storage system to play a role in recycling water resources and saving energy.

[0012] The slope is connected in series, and one end of the branch water pipe connected to the main water pipe is provided with a two-way valve controlled by a soil moisture sensor.

[0013] Parallel slope, one end of the branch water pipe connected to the main water pipe is provided with a two-way valve controlled by a soil moisture sensor; each branch water pipe is also provided with a one-way valve controlled by a soil moisture sensor.

[0014] The return pipe connects the drainage ditch at the bottom of each slope and the main water pipe; One end of the main water pipe connected to the upper reservoir is provided with a main valve controlled by a main data processing device.

[0015] An operation method of a series-parallel circulation irrigation device for ecological slope protection groups at different elevations in a pumped storage power station: When the irrigation device is running, it can be divided into the following two situations: S1: When the soil moisture content measured by a series of slope soil moisture sensors is less than the soil moisture content set by the system, the main data processing device controls the main valve to open, and at the same time, the data processing device on the branch controls the two-way valve to open at the branch pipe and close at the main pipe; at this time, water resources flow from the upper reservoir to the water-deficient slope for irrigation; at the same time, the excess water resources remaining from the slope irrigation are collected in the drainage ditch at the bottom of the slope, filtered by the filtering device, and flow back to the main pipe through the return pipe for irrigation of the low slope; If the low slope surface is not short of water, this part of water resources will flow to the turbine through the main water pipe for power generation; when the slope surface reaches the condition for stopping irrigation, that is, the measured soil moisture content is greater than or equal to the set soil moisture content, the main valve is closed, and the branch two-way valve is closed at the branch water pipe and opened at the main water pipe, and irrigation stops; S2: A one-way valve is separately set at each parallel slope branch pipe. When one of the slopes is short of water, the data processing device controls the corresponding one-way valve to open. The remaining steps are the same as S1.
