In some embodiments, the environmental constraint indicators include the minimum downstream ecological flow constraint, the flood control limit water level constraint, and the navigation depth requirement water level constraint, and the ecological flow constraint adopts a segmented dynamic threshold control method.

[0035] S2. Use the improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) to solve the multi-objective optimization model and generate a Pareto optimal solution set. In a specific example, using the improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) to solve the multi-objective optimization model includes:

The crossover probability Pc satisfies Pc = 0.6 - 0.9, and the mutation probability range Pm satisfies Pm = 0.01 - 0.1. Adopt the elitist retention strategy to maintain population diversity. The method of the present application can improve the uniformity of the Pareto front distribution by introducing the adaptive crossover and mutation probabilities and the elitist retention strategy.

[0037] S3. Select the optimal scheduling plan from the Pareto optimal solution set based on the dynamic weight decision method, and introduce a water level dynamic control mechanism to adjust the water level control threshold of each cascade power station according to the collected hydrological data.

[0038] S4. Establish a water level-output coupling feedback model, and perform real-time correction on the scheduling plan through rolling optimization, and output the power generation plan and gate opening control instructions of each power station.

[0039] In some examples, introducing a water level dynamic control mechanism to adjust the water level control threshold of each cascade power station according to real-time hydrological data includes:

[0040] Establish a three-dimensional relationship surface of water level - reservoir capacity - output;

[0041] According to the established three-dimensional relationship surface, combined with the runoff forecast data for a specified future duration, adjust the allowable fluctuation range of the operating water level of each power station. For example, combined with the runoff forecast data for the next 72 hours, dynamically adjust the allowable fluctuation range of the operating water level of each power station by ±0.3 - 0.5 meters.

[0042] In some examples, establishing a water level-output coupling feedback model includes:

[0053] The method of this application solves the conflict problem of power generation, ecology and flood control objectives in cascade hydropower station scheduling through the deep integration of dynamic water level control and multi-objective optimization. This application further introduces the two-way influence in the time series into the static water level-output relationship, and realizes closed-loop correction by real-time adjusting the water level threshold through the deviation feedback between the actual output and the target value. Further, through the long-term scheduling plan (generated by NSGA-II) and the short-term rolling optimization of the water level-output coupling feedback model, the accuracy of the reservoir optimal scheduling method is improved.
