With the increase of the peak power generation plan, the wind and solar curtailment rate shows a downward trend. For the same hydropower station, with the increase of the initial water level during the dispatch period, the net head of the hydropower units increases, the hydropower generated per unit of water consumption increases, and when the system's peak power generation plan is the same, the average daily hydropower output increases, while wind and solar curtailment increases. For different hydropower stations, the rate of decrease in the wind and solar curtailment rate with the increase of the system's peak power generation plan varies.
