Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of federated learning technology, and in particular to a method for joint prediction of reservoir multi-station water levels based on federated learning. Background Art
[0002] With the global climate change and the growing demand for water resources management, reservoir scheduling and water level forecasting have become important issues in modern water management. Reservoir water level forecasting is of great significance for flood warning, drought management and rational allocation of water resources. Traditional water level forecasting methods mostly rely on data from a single reservoir for forecasting. Although these methods can provide reference information to a certain extent, the accuracy and stability of their forecast results are often limited due to the different geographical conditions, climate environments and hydrological characteristics between reservoirs. At the same time, the prediction model of a single reservoir is difficult to consider the mutual influence between multiple reservoirs, resulting in poor comprehensiveness and globality of water level forecasting. In order to improve the accuracy and adaptability of water level forecasting, researchers have gradually turned to water level joint forecasting methods based on multi-station data.
[0003] Traditional water level prediction methods typically rely on historical data from a single site, using techniques such as time series analysis and regression models to predict water levels. These methods mostly consider data changes at a single reservoir site, but ignore the interactions between multiple reservoirs and the impact of external environmental factors. In addition, traditional methods often face problems with data storage, processing efficiency, and privacy protection when processing large-scale water level data. Reservoir data typically includes historical water level data, real-time water level change trends, hydrological conditions, climate data, etc. Most of this data is distributed across different reservoir sites, and some of it is sensitive information. In reservoir scheduling and water level prediction, how to effectively integrate massive data from multiple sites and address issues such as privacy protection, data sharing, and communication efficiency has become a technical challenge that needs to be solved urgently.
[0004] To improve the accuracy and real-time performance of multi-site water level forecasts, distributed learning methods have been gradually introduced in recent years. In particular, the introduction of federated learning technology has provided new insights into collaborative forecasting across multiple reservoir sites. Federated learning uses distributed computing to enable multiple reservoir sites to train their own water level prediction models locally, while ensuring data privacy. This allows the model parameters to be aggregated and updated via a central server. This process eliminates the need to centrally store the raw data from each site, thus avoiding data leakage and privacy risks. However, despite the potential for federated learning in water level forecasting, its practical application still faces several challenges and technical bottlenecks.
[0005] First, while traditional federated learning mechanisms can ensure data privacy, their reliance on model parameter synchronization and updates often leads to inefficient communication. During the federated learning process, all participating sites need to upload their locally trained model parameters to a central server. The central server aggregates and updates the model parameters for each site, then distributes the updated global model parameters to each site. Due to data disparity and uneven computing power between reservoir sites, this process often requires frequent communication interactions, resulting in high network load and latency. Especially in the case of a large number of reservoir sites, communication efficiency becomes a key factor limiting overall system performance.
[0006] Secondly, traditional federated learning mechanisms ignore the spatial and hydrological interconnectedness between reservoir sites. When predicting water levels at multiple reservoirs, there are often geographical interactions between sites, such as the relationship between reservoir basins and the spatial distribution of precipitation. Existing federated learning methods primarily focus on training and aggregating local models, failing to effectively account for the differences in geographic, climatic, and hydrological conditions across reservoir sites, potentially resulting in inaccurate global forecasts.
[0007] Furthermore, current federated learning models mostly focus on privacy protection and independent training of local data, but lack the ability to optimize the global integration of multi-site data. Historical reservoir data, real-time water level trends, and hydrological environmental factors need to be rationally integrated through weighted fusion to improve prediction accuracy and global adaptability. Existing technologies often use a simple weighted averaging approach, ignoring the impact of different sites on global water level predictions. This results in insufficient accuracy and robustness in reservoir water level predictions.
[0008] In addition, when faced with large-scale, multi-source heterogeneous data, existing water level prediction models are often unable to handle complex data interactions and update processes. Especially in environments with large data volumes and poor communication conditions, the model training and update processes are inefficient, and the model performance is easily affected by the data quality of a single site.
[0009] Therefore, how to provide a method for joint prediction of reservoir multi-station water levels based on federated learning is an urgent problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0108] Example 1:
[0109] In order to verify the feasibility of the present invention in implementation, the present invention is applied to multiple reservoir sites in a certain area to conduct multi-site joint prediction of water level forecasts. The geographical conditions of the reservoirs in this area are complex, and the water level fluctuates greatly. The traditional single-site prediction method often cannot accurately reflect the water level change trend of the entire region, and lacks consideration of the water level correlation between each site. Therefore, the present invention adopts a multi-site water level joint prediction method based on federated learning, aiming to improve the accuracy and reliability of water level prediction through data privacy protection, global optimization and weighted fusion technology, thereby providing a scientific decision-making basis for the scheduling and management of reservoirs.
[0110] In this example, a total of 10 reservoir sites are involved, distributed across diverse geographical locations and hydrological environments. Water level data for each site includes historical water level data, real-time water level trends, and historical reservoir operation data. By collecting and preprocessing this data, including deduplication, missing value filling, and outlier handling, high-quality data input is provided for model training. Each site is trained independently locally, using a local gradient descent algorithm to optimize the water level prediction model and output local water level prediction results for each site.
[0111] The data training and prediction process utilizes an improved gradient-weighted optimization algorithm. This algorithm dynamically adjusts the water level prediction model parameters for each site by factoring in historical water level data and real-time water level trends. After local model training is complete, model parameters for all reservoir sites are uploaded to a central server for aggregation via a federated learning mechanism. Homomorphic encryption and differential privacy technologies ensure data security during upload and aggregation.
[0112] After aggregating model parameters from each site, the central server uses weighted fusion technology to generate a global water level forecast based on each site's geographic location, historical water level data, real-time water level trends, and hydrological conditions. This global forecast not only integrates water level forecast information from each site but also weights it to account for the actual conditions at each reservoir site, resulting in a more accurate global water level forecast.
[0113] In order to evaluate the effect of the present invention, the traditional single-site prediction method and the multi-site joint prediction method based on federated learning proposed by the present invention were compared in the experiment. Experimental data show that the global water level prediction results generated by the method of the present invention have significantly reduced prediction errors compared with the traditional single-site prediction method, especially when the water level fluctuates, the prediction accuracy has been significantly improved. For example, over a period of time (from June 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019), the error of the traditional prediction method at a certain reservoir site was 8.5 cm, while the error after adopting the method of the present invention was only 3.2 cm, a reduction of 62%. The following is a table of some data from the experiment:
[0114] Table 1 Comparison results of water level prediction at reservoir sites
[0115]
[0116]
[0117] As can be seen in Table 1, the water level prediction errors using the present method are generally lower than those of traditional methods. In particular, the errors remain relatively low across multiple predictions, demonstrating the significant advantages of the present method in multi-site joint prediction. By weighted fusion of data from multiple reservoir sites, combined with the reservoir's geographic location, historical water levels, real-time change trends, and hydrological conditions, the accuracy of the global prediction results is effectively improved.
[0118] In this embodiment, the present invention not only addresses the inability of single-site prediction methods to fully utilize multi-site information, but also effectively improves the accuracy of the prediction model through a federated learning mechanism while ensuring data privacy. Furthermore, experimental results demonstrate that the present invention can significantly optimize reservoir scheduling decisions, improving the scientific nature and timeliness of reservoir management, and has broad application prospects.
[0119] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
