Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrological modeling, and more specifically, to a modeling method and system suitable for a universal rainwater harvesting system. Background Art
[0002] Rapid urbanization has led to an increase in the area of impervious surfaces, causing adverse hydrological impacts such as floods and water quality deterioration. With the growth of the population, the diversification of water demand for households, industries, and agriculture has put increasing pressure on water supply. Therefore, under the threats of extreme climate events, intense human activities, rapid urbanization, and population growth, water resource tension and scarcity have become an urgent challenge for many countries in the world. Achieving, enhancing, or maximizing the effectiveness of rainwater harvesting (RWH) in alleviating challenges and promoting green buildings requires scientific design, evaluation, planning, and management of RWH. One of the key foundations is the advanced modeling of hydrological processes in various RWH systems.
[0003] Currently, Stochastic Rainwater Harvesting System Modeling (StRaHaS) can improve the accuracy and applicability of hydrological modeling in the wide application of RWH systems in large areas with scarce data. It reveals the impacts of water demand and rainfall characteristics on system reliability, etc. However, from the perspective of stochastic RWH simulation, the stochastic rainfall characteristics do not fully conform to the memoryless exponential distribution; at the same time, the assumption that the RWSU is filled at the end of each rainfall event is not reasonable in areas with scarce rainfall events. This may cause certain deviations in the modeling of the entire system, affecting its objectivity and accuracy.
[0004] There is a prior art method for comprehensive evaluation of the health of a drainage system. By performing deep learning, mining, and modeling on multi-source data such as meteorology, remote sensing, elevation, pipe networks, and exploration of the research object, indicators for evaluating the health of the urban drainage system are obtained, and the comprehensive weight of each indicator is calculated, thereby reflecting the health degree of the drainage system.
[0005] However, the prior art has the problem of not considering that the stochastic rainfall characteristics do not conform to the memoryless exponential distribution. Therefore, how to invent a modeling method suitable for a universal rainwater harvesting system that considers stochastic rainfall characteristics is a technical problem urgently to be solved in this technical field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to solve the problem that the existing modeling technology does not consider that the stochastic rainfall characteristics do not conform to the memoryless exponential distribution, the present invention provides a modeling method and system suitable for a universal rainwater harvesting system, which have the characteristics of accuracy and objectivity.
[0007] To achieve the above object of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:
[0008] A modeling method applicable to a universal rainwater collection system, comprising the following specific steps:
[0009] Based on rainfall parameters including rainfall depth d r , rainfall duration t r , non-rainfall duration t n , randomly simulate rainfall characteristics and construct a linear combination of rainfall characteristics;
[0010] Based on the linear combination, randomly simulate the runoff collected during rainfall to obtain the amount of water V C intercepted by the roof;
[0011] Based on the linear combination, simulate the remaining water volume in the rainwater storage unit to obtain the range of the remaining water volume S t when the rainfall cycle starts;
[0012] Based on S t , randomly simulate the overflow of the rainwater storage unit to obtain the overflow V s ;
[0013] Integrate the linear combination, V C , V s to construct system reliability parameters.
[0014] Furthermore, based on rainfall parameters including rainfall depth d r , rainfall duration t r , non-rainfall duration t n , randomly simulate rainfall characteristics and construct a linear combination of rainfall characteristics. The specific steps are as follows: Assume that the distributions of d r , t r , t n are composed of the linear combination of two independent exponential distributions with parameter 1. Randomly simulate rainfall characteristics. Based on the obtained sample values, obtain 3 groups of linear combinations:
[0015]
[0016] Among them, P r (*) is the occurrence probability of a random event *, A 1 , A 2 , B 1 , B 2 , C 1 , C 2 are constants, D r , T n , T r respectively represent the samples corresponding to d r , t n , t r , D r1, D r2 , T n1 , T n2 , T r1 , T r2 respectively represent the corresponding sample values.
[0017] Furthermore, when performing random simulation, for any rainfall parameter, assume it satisfies:

[0019] where x represents d r , t r , t n any parameter, K 1 , K 2 is the constant corresponding to x, PDFs represents the probability density function of the random variable, and CDFs represents the cumulative distribution function of the random variable.
[0020] Furthermore, the amount of water V intercepted by the roof C is specifically:
[0021]
[0022] where a is the area of the vertical projection of the roof surface, i.e., the drainage area of the rainwater collection system, φ is the runoff coefficient representing the proportion of rainfall converted into runoff, and d f is the depth of the initial runoff diverted by the runoff diversion device or debris flow filter.
[0023] Furthermore, by simulating the remaining water volume in the rainwater storage unit, the range of the remaining water volume S when the rainfall cycle starts is obtained. Specifically: Assume that the rainwater storage unit is full at the beginning, with a volume of V at this time. According to the length t t of its non-rainy period and the water demand d n during the non-rainy cycle, when the rainfall cycle starts, the remaining water volume S 1 is expressed as: t
[0024]
[0025] where the range of S t is from 0 to (V – dt n ), and d is the average water demand during all rainy and non-rainy periods.
[0026] Furthermore, specifically:
[0027]
[0028] where d 2 is the average water demand during rainfall, E(T n)、E(T r ) represent the expected value of T n , T r .
[0029] Furthermore, an overflow V s is obtained. Specifically, a part of the collected runoff is used as the water demand during rainfall and non-rainfall periods, and the remaining part overflows into the municipal sewer system as an overflow, which is a random variable V s :
[0030]
[0031] Among them, E(S t ) represents the expected value of S t .
[0032] Furthermore, after obtaining V s , its corresponding overflow probability is further calculated. Specifically, the probability f of leakage occurring in each rainwater collection cycle is solved:
[0033] f = F(V s = 0).
[0034] Furthermore, by comprehensively considering the linear combination, V C , V s , system reliability parameters are constructed. Specifically, let the random variable T s be the total service time, and R represents the duration of the rainwater collection cycle. The expected value of R is expressed as r = E(R). r represents the average time fraction of the rainwater collected by the rainwater collection system during all rainwater collection processes that meets the total water demand. r is used as the system reliability parameter of the rainwater collection system:
[0035]
[0036] Among them, E(T s ) represents the expected value of T s .

[0042] The described system evaluation module is used to construct system reliability parameters by comprehensively considering the linear combination, V C and V s .
[0043] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0044] The present invention discloses a modeling method applicable to a general rainwater harvesting system. By considering rainfall parameters including rainfall depth d r , rainfall duration t r , and non-rainfall duration t n , a random simulation of rainfall characteristics is performed, a linear combination of rainfall characteristics is constructed, and further based on the linear combination, a random simulation of the runoff collected during rainfall, the remaining water volume in the rainwater storage unit, and the overflow of the rainwater storage unit is carried out, and system reliability parameters are constructed by comprehensively considering the simulation parameters.
