Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water resources utilization engineering, in particular to a rain flood resource water shortage-peak shaving double target coordinated regulation method based on distributed virtual reservoirs. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a non-physical water resource regulation carrier, virtual reservoirs can simulate the regulation process of rain and flood through hydrological models, not only breaking through the geographical and engineering scale limitations of traditional concrete reservoirs, but also flexibly integrating the simulation of complex basin elements such as silt dams, effectively solving the generalization problems and adaptation problems of traditional regulation methods in complex basins (such as arid and semi-arid regions), and becoming a key technical means to realize efficient utilization of rain and flood resources. Current rain and flood regulation schemes of virtual reservoirs mostly rely on empirical formulas or single-objective optimization methods: the former is based on historical regulation data to fit the regulation rules, which is difficult to adapt to the uncertainty of inflow under climate change, and does not consider the trade-off relationship between multiple objectives; the latter, although it can simplify the calculation by taking "maximizing rain and flood utilization" or "minimizing flood control risk" as a single objective, ignores the coordinated needs of multiple objectives such as rain and flood utilization, flood control safety, and ecological protection, which may lead to excessive pursuit of rain and flood utilization, thereby increasing the risk of flood control in the basin, or strict control of flood control risk, resulting in reduced utilization of rain and flood resources. The existing multi-objective water resources optimization method based on traditional optimization algorithms (such as genetic algorithm) has two limitations: first, the convergence efficiency of the algorithm is low, and in the case of multiple decision variables (such as monthly water release, water storage threshold, and water replenishment priority) and multiple constraints (such as reservoir flood control capacity, downstream ecological base flow, and water utilization guarantee rate) of virtual reservoirs, it is easy to fall into local optimal solution and difficult to generate a globally optimal Pareto solution set; second, the solution set lacks diversity, which cannot provide decision makers with a variety of target trade-off schemes, especially when climate change leads to changes in inflow scenarios, the adaptability of a single optimization result is poor; in addition, the development of existing rain and flood utilization schemes of virtual reservoirs mostly relies on manual intervention, such as adjusting regulation parameters based on expert experience, which is not only subjective and inefficient, but also difficult to achieve batch processing and dynamic updating, and cannot meet the real-time regulation needs of rain and flood resources at the basin scale. SUMMARY

[0036] As Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a dual-objective coordinated regulation method for rainwater and flood resources based on a distributed virtual reservoir, addressing both water shortage and peak shaving. The method uses the NSGA-II algorithm to solve a multi-objective optimization regulation model for the water supply system. Taking the efficient utilization of rainwater and flood resources in the Zhuanlongwan watershed from 1996 to 2023 as an application scenario, the method includes the following steps:
[0037] Step S1: Construct a virtual reservoir based on the administrative divisions within the basin. The reservoir capacity is calculated using the area-weighted method based on the reservoir capacity within the basin.
[0038] Step S2: Collect monthly water demand (HSWUD dataset), rainfall data, and natural runoff data to determine the decision variable as the flow rate of the virtual reservoir's regulated discharge.
[0039] ;
[0040] Where R = {Dongsheng Reservoir, Yijinhuoluo Banner Reservoir, Kangbashi Reservoir}, and T is the set of control periods;
[0041] Step S3: Calculate the initial water volume of the virtual reservoir and calculate the surface water as a percentage of total water demand based on the water resources bulletin;

For the first The precipitation in the month preceding the initial date within a virtual reservoir basin.
[0044] The initial water storage capacity of the virtual reservoir was calculated, with the Dongsheng Reservoir having a capacity of 2.16 million cubic meters. 3 The Yijinhuoluo Banner Reservoir has a capacity of 3.19 million cubic meters. 3 The Kangbashi Reservoir has a capacity of 51.43 million cubic meters. 3 According to the water resources bulletin, the multi-year average surface water as a percentage of total water demand is calculated as follows: Dongsheng Reservoir is 0.029, Yijinhuoluo Banner Reservoir is 0.065, and Kangbashi Reservoir is 0.123.
[0045] Step S4: Construct a multi-objective function that includes minimizing water shortage and maximizing potential peak shaving capacity, and apply constraints such as water supply capacity, water balance, demand satisfaction, and non-negativity. Solve the function using the NSGA-II algorithm. Specifically, this includes:
[0046] Step S4.1: The objective function of the multi-objective rainwater resource efficient utilization model is:
[0047] Objective 1: Minimize water shortage
[0048] ;
[0049] Wherein, T is the total number of calculation periods; is the total number of virtual reservoirs in the basin; is the surface water proportion coefficient; is the demand for water of the i-th virtual reservoir basin in the t-th period, is the available rainwater in the i-th virtual reservoir basin in the t-th period.
[0050] Objective 2: Maximize potential peak shaving capacity
[0051] ;
[0052] Wherein, is the virtual reservoir capacity in the t-th period, is the natural state precipitation, is the area of the basin; is the outflow flow after reservoir regulation in the t-th period: is the indicator function: when > , , , , (in the flood warning state, the reduction benefit needs to be calculated); otherwise The summation represents the reduction capacity of the virtual reservoir to the flood process.
[0053] Step S4.2: The constraint conditions considering the efficient utilization of water resources, supply and demand balance and other aspects are:
[0054] ① Virtual reservoir carrying capacity constraint
[0055] ;

[0065] Table 1 Simulation results of the monthly optimized rainwater utilization model scheme from 1996 to 2023
[0066] ;
[0067] From Figure 2 It can be seen that the natural runoff presents the typical seasonal characteristics of "weak base flow in the rainy season and abrupt flood peak in the rainy season"; and the regulated discharge is significantly suppressed through the "peak clipping and valley filling" effect of the virtual reservoir, while maintaining a relatively stable discharge in the dry season. In terms of regional differentiation of regulation amplitude, the natural runoff in Kangbashi Banner has the highest extreme value, which decreases to about 35 cubic meters per second after regulation, with a regulation amplitude of 41.7%; the natural runoff coefficient of variation is 1.52, which decreases to 0.91 after regulation. The natural runoff in Ejinhoro Banner has an extreme value of about 35 cubic meters per second, and about 30 cubic meters per second after regulation, with a regulation amplitude of 14.3%; the natural runoff coefficient of variation is 1.18, which decreases to 0.75 after regulation. The natural runoff in Dongsheng District has an extreme value of about 30 cubic meters per second, and about 25 cubic meters per second after regulation, with a regulation amplitude of 16.7%; the natural runoff coefficient of variation is 1.25, which decreases to 0.82 after regulation. It can be seen that Kangbashi Banner has the largest regulation amplitude due to the more severe fluctuations of natural runoff; the virtual reservoir effectively reduces the runoff coefficient of variation in all three regions, improving the availability of water resources.
[0068] From the long-term sequence from 1996 to 2023, the regulating effect of virtual reservoir has interannual stability: whether in wet years or dry years, it can continue to achieve "peak clipping and valley filling". For example, in 2005, 2017 and other years with concentrated flood peaks, the peak of the regulated discharge of the three places is significantly lower than the natural runoff; while in 2011 and other dry years, the regulated discharge can still maintain basic discharge, avoiding the risk of natural runoff interruption.
[0069] For the multi-objective optimization results from 1996 to 2023: From the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of water shortage and potential peak clipping capacity, the water shortage shows significant interannual and intra-annual differences in the time dimension. From 1996 to 2023, the peak water shortage in some years (such as 2005, 2006, etc.) exceeds 35 million cubic meters, and the monthly distribution of water shortage is uneven, with lower water shortage in summer (June-August) and higher water shortage in spring and winter (January-March, November-December). The potential peak clipping capacity also shows obvious spatial and temporal differentiation, with a value range of 0-50 cubic meters / second. Interannually, the potential peak clipping capacity in some years (such as 2017, 2018, etc.) is strong, reaching more than 40 cubic meters / second, and the intra-annual distribution shows that the potential peak clipping capacity is relatively prominent in summer (June-August) and relatively weak in winter (December-February). In general, water shortage and potential peak clipping capacity have certain complementarity in spatial and temporal distribution, that is, when water shortage is high, the potential peak clipping capacity also shows corresponding trends, which provides data support for the regulation and management of regional water resources, and helps to further optimize the scheduling strategy of virtual reservoirs and achieve efficient use of water resources and coordinated promotion of flood control and disaster reduction.
