TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering facilities, and particularly relates to a hierarchical desilting and sand discharge system and method suitable for a side-type inlet / outlet of a gorge-type riverbed. BACKGROUND
[0002] The inlet / outlet is an important node facility of the water delivery system of a pumped storage power station, and plays a key role in regulating the flow state of inlet and outlet water, ensuring smooth transition of water flow and efficient conversion of energy. The structure mainly has two typical structural forms of side type and well type, and is generally arranged at the head of the water delivery system and the front end of the tailwater system, which has important engineering value for ensuring the overall operation efficiency of the water delivery line.
[0003] The side-type inlet / outlet has the advantages of convenient construction, small water head loss and stable water flow conditions due to its close arrangement to the reservoir bank. However, since the side-type inlet / outlet directly connects with the natural riverbed, it is more easily affected by the riverbed sediment transport under narrow hydraulic conditions such as gorge-type riverbeds, resulting in continuous sediment accumulation in front of the inlet, which seriously affects the flow capacity and operation safety. In traditional engineering, a front anti-slope type sand dam structure is often used to achieve initial interception of coarse particle sediment by setting a height difference. Although this design is effective in a certain period, it has obvious limitations in long-term operation: first, sediment continuously accumulates in front of the dam, forming a permanent sediment body, and the effective sand discharge volume decreases year by year; second, fine particle suspended sediment is easily penetrated by flow around the structure under the action of water flow turbulence, affecting the durability of the structure.
[0004] In view of the above problems, the existing design ideas often face a dilemma: if only the standard flood is prevented, the super-standard flood will cause serious sediment accumulation risk after entering the reservoir; and if the design standard is improved comprehensively, the project scale will be expanded and the investment will increase, causing economic waste. Therefore, it is of great significance to effectively solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0063] The application also provides a dredging and desilting method suitable for the grading dredging and desilting system of the side type water inlet / outlet of the canyon type riverbed, which comprises a primary desilting method and a secondary dredging method.
[0064] Step S1, the primary desilting method:
[0065] Step S101, when the lower reservoir is in the pumping state, the water stored in the lower reservoir dam and the lower reservoir sand retaining dam converges into the desilting channel 5 under the action of the terrain, and the main sediment in the water is blocked in the desilting channel 5 under the interception of the sand retaining ridge 4;

[0070] Step S2, the secondary dredging method:
[0071] Step S201, when the thickness of the sediment accumulated in the front pool 2 and the reverse slope section 3 exceeds the design standard of the primary desilting structure, the dredging device is started to twist the accumulated sediment in the front pool 2 and the reverse slope section 3, and form the slurry;

[0078] The pre-riffle flow velocity of the sediment barrier 4 is taken as the sediment starting flow velocity in the sediment discharge channel 5 , and based on the relationship 1, the sediment starting particle size is calculated; therefore, when the actual reservoir bottom sediment particle size is greater than the sediment starting particle size , it indicates that the sediment will not cross the sediment barrier 4 into the reverse slope section 3 and the front pool 2, and the sediment barrier 4 is reasonably set; therefore, the sediment barrier 4 at the outer edge of the side-type intake / outlet 1 is designed to make the pre-riffle section flow velocity lower than the sediment starting flow velocity of the reservoir bottom , so that the effective sediment discharge effect of the sediment discharge channel 5 can be achieved.
[0079] The application discloses a kind of suitable for gorge type riverbed side-type intake / outlet grading dredging and sediment discharge system and method, belong to the dredging and sediment discharge technical field of pumped storage power station engineering.The system includes side-type intake / outlet 1, front pool 2, reverse slope section 3, sediment barrier 4 and sediment discharge channel 5 connected in sequence;The bottom elevation of the front pool 2 is lower than the bottom plate of side-type intake / outlet 1, forms sedimentation area;The reverse slope section 3 outer edge is peripherally provided with a circle of sediment barrier 4, and sediment discharge channel 5 is provided between its end and the opposite bank slope 6, to form a primary sediment discharge structure for dredging sediment of common flood;The method defines the implementation scheme of secondary dredging operation of sediment accumulated in front pool 2 and reverse slope section 3 by using dredging device such as cutter suction dredger.The application solves the sediment accumulation problem of the front edge of side-type intake / outlet and reverse slope section of gorge type riverbed by "structure sediment barrier and guide mainly, mechanical dredging as auxiliary" grading management mode, and guarantees the safety and reliability of long-term operation.
[0080] Below, a certain large-scale hydropower station engineering adopting the technical scheme of the application is taken as an example to further illustrate:
[0081] The total installed capacity of a project is 1400 MW, and the rated power generation water head is 449 m. The water delivery system is composed of a water diversion system and a tailwater system. Both the water diversion system and the tailwater system are arranged in a one-hole two-machine form, and there are two independent water delivery systems (1# and 2#). The side-type intake / outlet 1 of the lower reservoir is composed of a vortex prevention beam section 101, an adjustment section 102, a diffusion section 103, and a gate well section 104, etc. The total length of the side-type intake / outlet 1 is 58.22 m, and the bottom elevation of the side-type intake / outlet 1 is 878.0 m. The topography of the side-type intake / outlet 1: the river bed is squeezed by the mountains on both sides, forming a deep and narrow river channel. To ensure smooth flow of the side-type intake / outlet 1, a tailwater channel is provided at the end of the side-type intake / outlet 1 to connect the lower reservoir. The tailwater channel along the power generation flow direction is composed of a forebay 2, an inverse slope section 3, a sand trap 4, and a desilting channel 5.
[0082] The main flow position of the side-type intake / outlet 1 is at an elevation of 885 m. The flow velocity at the intersection section of the forebay 2 and the inverse slope section 3 is 0.19-0.63 m / s, and the flow velocity at the middle section of the inverse slope section 3 is 0.21-0.84 m / s. The flow velocity at the middle measuring line of the two side-type intake / outlets 1 is smaller, and the flow velocity distribution along the transverse direction of each section is relatively uniform. At an elevation of 895 m, the flow velocity at the intersection section of the forebay 2 and the inverse slope section 3 is -0.04 to -0.16 m / s, the flow velocity at the middle section of the inverse slope section 3 is 0.05-0.16 m / s, and the flow velocity at the two sides of the channel is 0.43-0.57 m / s. The flow velocity distribution along the transverse direction of each section is relatively uniform. When the dead water level of the lower reservoir is 896 m, the starting flow velocity in front of the sand trap 4 is 0.12 m / s. Using the sand starting formula, the sand starting particle size is 0.263 mm. It can be considered that the sand with a particle size greater than 0.263 mm will not start. According to the analysis results of the particle size distribution of the suspended sediment samples at the hydrological station of the power station for many years, the median particle size of the suspended sediment is 0.02 mm, and the average particle size is 0.033 mm, which is less than 0.25 mm. The percentage of sand particle size distribution is about 99.5%. Therefore, it is considered that under the condition of 30-year flood into the reservoir, the lower reservoir does not need to be dredged as a whole. Considering the hydrological characteristics, the operation mode of the power station, the flow pattern of the side-type intake / outlet under the power generation condition, and other factors, most of the sediment in the channel can be carried out of the side-type intake / outlet, and the sediment accumulation in the side-type intake / outlet of the lower reservoir basically will not affect the normal operation of the power station, and separate dredging is not needed.
[0083] During the operation period of the power station, the probability of occurrence of flood greater than 50-year frequency is low. If multiple 30-year or more frequent floods occur during the operation period of the power station or the above frequency floods occur during the maintenance period of the unit, etc., the amount of sediment accumulation exceeds the dead storage capacity, and the whole reservoir needs to be dredged.
[0084] Without considering the part of the sediment carried away during power generation. Taking the 50-year flood as an example to calculate and analyze the sediment accumulation of the side-type intake / outlet:
[0085] The total amount of siltation in the 50-year flood reservoir is 510,000 m 3 The total area of the lower reservoir normal storage level is about 324590.509 m 2 The siltation area of the lower reservoir side type inlet / outlet 1 is about 5763.063 m 2 The area of the front pool 2 and the reverse slope section 3). According to the front pool 2 and the reverse slope section 3 of the lower reservoir side type inlet / outlet, the total amount of siltation of the 50-year flood entering the lower reservoir side type inlet / outlet 1 is conservatively considered to be 0.9055 million m 3 The siltation thickness of the 50-year flood in the lower reservoir side type inlet / outlet 1 is 1.571 m, which is less than the front end dam height 2.25 m.
[0086] The partial desilting scheme of the side type inlet / outlet 1 is as follows: the hydraulic dredging or the cutter suction dredger is used for desilting, the dredger is used for desilting, the CZ650 type dredger can be used, the nameplate yield is 1200 m 3 / h; when the hydraulic dredging is used, the total amount of water and sand to be pumped is 4.53 million m 3 The pumping capacity is about 2 days at the scale of 1000 m 3 / h.
[0087] Through the above technical scheme disclosed by the application, the following beneficial effects are obtained:
[0088] Through the desilting scheme and structure form of the application, most of the sediment brought by the river bed can be smoothly discharged through the desilting channel, and the sediment overflowing the sediment dam is intercepted in the front pool section; the sediment in the front pool and the reverse slope section is sent to the specified position by selecting the corresponding desilting scheme, and the effect of sediment cleaning is further improved.
[0089] The application has the following advantages:
[0090] (1) The "interception-accumulation-discharge" treatment of conventional sediment: the sediment dam is used for preliminary interception, the front pool is used as a sediment collection area, and finally the sediment is smoothly discharged through the desilting channel, forming an efficient and economical conventional sediment treatment closed loop.
[0091] (2) Flexible desilting scheme for over-standard sediment: for the siltation problem caused by over-standard flood, the cutter suction dredger is used for mechanical desilting, and two sets of desilting schemes with long and short distances are provided, and the optimal desilting path can be selected according to the actual engineering conditions to ensure the cleaning effect.
[0092] (3) The comprehensive advantages of the hierarchical system: through the hierarchical cooperation of "structure to guide sand + mechanical dredging of over-standard sand", the sand discharge efficiency under the condition of common flood is ensured, and reliable measures are provided for over-standard flood, the system safety and adaptability are significantly improved while the engineering cost is controlled.
[0093] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.

10. A dredging and sediment removal method for a graded dredging and sediment removal system for a canyon-type riverbed side-mounted inlet / outlet, as described in claim 8, is characterized in that...

The initiating particle size of the sediment; It is the acceleration due to gravity; The water depth inside the sand discharge channel (5); The flow velocity at the front section of the sand-blocking embankment (4) is used as the starting velocity of the sediment flow in the sand discharge channel (5). Based on relation (1), the initiation particle size of sediment was calculated. Therefore, when the actual sediment particle size at the bottom of the reservoir is larger than the initial sediment particle size... This indicates that the sediment will not cross the sand-retaining sill (4) and enter the reverse slope section (3) and the forebay (2), and the sand-retaining sill (4) is reasonably set.

This will enable the sand removal channel (5) to effectively remove sand.
