Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower station engineering design technology, and in particular to a method for raising the operating water level of an existing hydropower station based on phased design floods. Background Technology

[0002] For existing hydropower stations, maximizing the comprehensive benefits of the project while ensuring flood control safety is a crucial aspect of researching operational scheduling methods. Flood control safety primarily includes the inundation safety of key controlled objects within the reservoir area, the flood control operation safety of the hydropower station itself, and the flood control safety of downstream protected objects. This involves calculating the reservoir water level, flood regulation calculations, and simulating flood control scheduling methods. Comprehensive benefits mainly include the power generation benefits and dry season water replenishment benefits of the hydropower station. Given a fixed flood control limit, raising the normal storage level and operating at a high flood control level will benefit the power generation and dry season water replenishment benefits, as well as the flood control safety of downstream protected objects. However, it will adversely affect the flood control safety of controlled objects within the reservoir area and the hydropower station itself. Therefore, determining the operational control water level for existing hydropower stations at various times of the year to ensure flood control safety and maximize the comprehensive benefits of the project is of paramount importance.

[0003] Previous research on the scheduling schemes of existing hydropower stations has primarily focused on characteristic water levels (flood control level, normal storage level, flood control high level, dead water level, etc.) determined during the design phase as boundary conditions. These studies consider the flood control safety of downstream protected areas and examine the scheduling and operation modes of hydropower stations during the flood season, storage period, drawdown period, and dry season. However, with the rapid development of the economy and society and the establishment of national strategies such as the construction of new power systems, there is an urgent need to vigorously develop clean energy and provide stable and flexible power sources for the power system. Therefore, based on the current status of existing hydropower station projects and their scheduling operations, it is essential to study methods for raising the operating water level of hydropower stations.

[0022] This invention provides a method for raising the operating water level of an existing hydropower station based on phased design floods. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the method for raising the operating water level of an existing hydropower station based on phased design floods, provided by the present invention. Figure 1As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step S101: Analyze the seasonal variation pattern of floods in the target hydropower station reservoir, divide the floods in the target hydropower station reservoir into flood stages, and propose the design floods and their design flood process lines for different periods; Step S102: Construct a water surface line calculation model for the reservoir area of ​​the hydropower station, and calculate the water surface line of the reservoir at different times and starting water levels in combination with the design flood of the target hydropower station reservoir. Step S103: Construct a flood regulation model for the hydropower station, and calculate the highest regulating flood level of the reservoir at different times under each starting water level, based on the design flood process line of the target hydropower station reservoir.

Step S106: Determine the economic indicators under each water level raising scheme, conduct an economic comparative analysis, and determine the final recommended water level raising scheme.

[0023] This method first analyzes the environmental characteristics of the target watershed, scientifically divides the flood season, and proposes phased design floods and design flood hydrographs. Then, it constructs a water surface line calculation model for the hydropower station reservoir, determines the reservoir water surface line at different times, and quantitatively analyzes the impact of rising operating water levels on the inundation of important controlled objects in the reservoir area, as well as the impact on the backwater effect of the upstream hydropower station. Next, it constructs a flood regulation model for the hydropower station, calculates the highest regulating flood level at each starting water level during different periods based on the design flood hydrograph of the target hydropower station reservoir, and quantitatively analyzes the impact of rising operating water levels on the flood control safety of the project's key structures. Then, based on the reservoir water surface line and the highest regulating flood level, it identifies the constraints on water level rise at the target hydropower station, and proposes water level rise schemes based on the timing of water level rises at different times. Next, it constructs a runoff regulation model for the hydropower station, determines the hydropower indicators of the hydropower station under each water level rise scheme, and analyzes the comprehensive benefits after water level rise. Finally, it determines the economic indicators under each water level rise scheme, conducts an economic comparative analysis, and determines the final recommended water level rise scheme. Through the above process, the constraints on the rise of water level in hydropower stations were identified from aspects such as reservoir inundation, cascade connection, and flood control safety of the project. The magnitude of water level rise in existing hydropower stations was quantified. Based on the study of flood stages, a scheduling and operation mode for hydropower stations under the background of rising water level was proposed. The timing and magnitude of water storage and drawdown of hydropower stations were reasonably determined. A complete solution was provided for realizing the rise of water level in existing hydropower stations and improving the comprehensive benefits of the project, which made up for the problem that existing related technologies cannot fully tap the comprehensive benefits of the project.

[0024] In some embodiments, step S101 involves analyzing the seasonal variation pattern of floods in the target hydropower station reservoir, dividing the floods in the target hydropower station reservoir into flood stages, and proposing design floods and their design flood process lines for different periods. This includes: analyzing the natural geography, basin climate, and runoff-rainfall characteristics of the target watershed to determine the seasonal variation pattern of rainstorm floods in the target watershed; conducting a phased study of the floods in the hydropower station reservoir based on the seasonal variation pattern of rainstorm floods in the target watershed, dividing the flood season of the target watershed into the main flood season and the post-flood season, and proposing the design floods and their design flood process lines for the main flood season and the post-flood season.

[0025] Based on this, in step S102, a water surface line calculation model for the reservoir area of ​​the hydropower station is constructed. The water surface line of the reservoir at different periods is calculated in conjunction with the design flood of the target hydropower station reservoir. This includes: using the peak flood flow of the main flood season and the post-flood season as control, calculating the water surface line of the reservoir at each frequency and each starting water level during the main flood season and the post-flood season respectively; and using the multi-year average flow at the hydropower station dam site as input, calculating the water surface line of the reservoir under the multi-year average operating conditions.

[0026] Specifically, calculating the reservoir water surface line includes: determining the correlation between the water level at the reservoir section and the flow rate of the river section; and using a trial-and-error algorithm to iteratively solve the problem based on the correlation until the accuracy requirements are met, thereby determining the reservoir water surface line.

[0027] For example, in engineering design, the piecewise summation method is often used to calculate the water surface line of the reservoir area. The basic equation is as follows:

[0028] in, Indicates the water level at the downstream section. Indicates the water level at the upstream section; This represents the kinetic energy correction factor. This represents the local head loss coefficient. Indicates the flow rate of the river section. Represents gravitational acceleration. Indicates the downstream cross-sectional area. Indicates the upstream cross-sectional area. Indicates the roughness of the river section. Indicates the hydraulic radius of the downstream section. Indicates the hydraulic radius of the upstream section. Indicates the cross-sectional spacing.

[0029] The above equations are solved using a trial-and-error method: the initial cross-section is known. , , , Assuming the water level at the upstream section Calculate its cross-sectional area and hydraulic radius Calculate the water level at the upstream section. ,Compare and If the water level deviation is within the allowable range, If the desired result is achieved, then iterate again until the accuracy requirement is met; otherwise, repeat the process until the accuracy requirement is met.

[0030] In some embodiments, step S103 involves constructing a flood regulation model for a hydropower station and calculating the highest regulating flood level of the reservoir at different times based on the design flood process curve of the target hydropower station reservoir. This includes iteratively executing the following steps until the accuracy requirements are met: obtaining the inflow at the beginning and end of the time period, as well as the outflow and reservoir level at the beginning of the time period; querying the reservoir level-capacity curve to obtain the reservoir capacity at the beginning of the time period; assuming the outflow at the end of the time period and querying the level-capacity curve to obtain the corresponding reservoir level; combining the obtained reservoir level with the discharge capacity curve to obtain the calculated outflow at the end of the time period, comparing the deviation between the calculated outflow and the set outflow until the deviation is within a preset range; performing the above iterative calculations for each time period to obtain the highest regulating flood level of the reservoir; wherein, the highest regulating flood level at the design frequency is the design flood level, and the highest regulating flood level at the check frequency is the check flood level.

[0031] For example, based on the designed flood control rules, a flood regulation model for the hydropower station is constructed to calculate the design flood level and check flood level under various operating water level rise schemes, and to quantitatively analyze the impact of operating water level rise on the flood control safety of the project. Taking into account factors such as cascade water level connection, reservoir inundation, and project flood control safety, operating water level rise schemes for the main flood season and the post-flood season are proposed.

[0032] In engineering design, the static storage capacity method is often used to calculate reservoir flood regulation. This involves replacing the continuity equations in the Saint-Venant equations with the water balance equations and replacing the dynamic equations with the discharge capacity curves. The specific formulas are as follows:

[0033] q

[0034] Based on the above principles, the following steps are taken to perform reservoir flood regulation calculations: 1. Given the inflow rates at the beginning and end of the time period. , Outbound flow at the beginning of the period The initial reservoir water level .

[0035] 2. Query the reservoir water level and storage capacity curve to obtain the storage capacity at the beginning of the time period. .

[0036] 3. Assume outbound flow at the end of the time period Seeking And obtain the water level and reservoir capacity curve. .

[0037] 4. By The calculated outflow rate at the end of the time period can be obtained by querying the discharge capacity curve. ,Compare and Deviation, if the flow deviation is within the allowable range, If the desired result is achieved, then iterate again until the accuracy requirement is met; otherwise, repeat the process until the accuracy requirement is met.

[0038] 7. Based on this, in step S104, the limiting factors of water level rise of the target hydropower station are identified based on the reservoir water surface line and the highest flood control level, and water level rise schemes for different periods are formulated, including: analyzing the impact of water level rise on the reservoir inundation control objects based on the reservoir water surface line at each frequency and starting water level during the main flood season and the post-flood season; analyzing the impact of water level rise on the dam operation safety based on the highest flood control level; analyzing the backwater effect of water level rise on the upstream hydropower station based on the reservoir water surface line under the multi-year average operating conditions; and comprehensively considering the impact of water level rise, water level rise schemes for different periods are formulated.

[0039] In some embodiments, step S105 involves constructing a hydropower station runoff regulation model, determining the hydropower station's hydropower indicators under various water level rise schemes, and analyzing the comprehensive benefits after water level rise. This includes: considering the flood control safety of downstream flood protection objects, determining the highest operating water level of the hydropower station for each period based on the water level rise scheme, and proposing a scheduling and operation mode; using the highest operating water level as a boundary condition, constructing a hydropower station runoff regulation model, calculating the hydropower station's hydropower indicators, and analyzing the comprehensive benefits of the hydropower station under various water level rise schemes.

[0040] For example, based on the proposed water level rise scheme and considering the flood control safety of downstream flood protection objects, the highest operating water level of the hydropower station is determined on a ten-day or monthly basis for the flood season, water storage period, drawdown period, and dry season. The scheduling and operation mode is proposed. Using this as the boundary condition, a hydropower station runoff regulation model is constructed, and long-term regulation calculations are carried out to calculate the hydropower station's multi-year average power generation, guaranteed output, and other hydropower indicators. The comprehensive benefits of the power station under each water level rise scheme are analyzed.

[0041] In engineering design, the equal output method is often used for long-term regulation calculations. This method assumes the reservoir water level is at a dead water level, starting from the end of the water supply period, and that the equal output is... The calculation of "water supply determined by electricity" is carried out in reverse chronological order for each time period until the initial reservoir water level at the beginning of the water supply period is calculated. .like If the deviation from the normal water level is within the allowable range, the long-term regulation calculation is completed, and the statistical calculation results can be used to obtain hydropower indicators such as the power station's multi-year average power generation and guaranteed output. If the water level is higher than the normal storage level, then increase Recalculate; If the water level is below the normal storage level, then reduce... Recalculate.

[0042] Based on the above embodiments, step S106 involves determining the economic indicators for each water level raising scheme, conducting an economic comparative analysis, and determining the final recommended water level raising scheme. This includes: calculating economic indicators and conducting an economic comparative analysis based on the total static investment and historical average power generation of each water level raising scheme; the economic indicators include investment per unit of electricity and investment per unit of supplementary electricity; analyzing the comprehensive benefits of the operating water level raising scheme from the perspectives of increased power generation and dry season water replenishment benefits; and determining the recommended water level raising scheme by considering the connection of cascade water levels, reservoir inundation, flood control safety of the project, the economy of water level raising, and comprehensive benefits.

[0043] In summary, this method takes the inundation safety of important control objects in the reservoir area, the flood control operation safety of the hub itself, and the flood control safety of downstream flood protection objects as the underlying conditions. Based on the phased design flood results, it studies and proposes a method for raising the operating water level of the hydropower station, rationally determines the timing and magnitude of water storage and drawdown of the hydropower station, and explores the comprehensive benefits of the project.

[0044] The present invention also provides a device for raising the operating water level of an existing hydropower station.

Then, module 202 constructs a water surface line calculation model for the hydropower station reservoir area, determines the reservoir water surface line at different times, and quantitatively analyzes the impact of the rising operating water level on the inundation of important controlled objects in the reservoir area, as well as the impact on the tailrace backwater of the upstream hydropower station. Calculation module 203 then constructs a flood regulation model for the hydropower station, calculates the highest regulating flood level of the reservoir at different times based on the design flood hydrograph of the target hydropower station reservoir, and quantitatively analyzes the impact of the rising operating water level on the flood control safety of the project's key structures. Next, module 204, based on the reservoir water surface line and the highest regulating flood level, identifies the constraints on the water level rise of the target hydropower station and formulates water level rise schemes for different times. Analysis module 205 then constructs a runoff regulation model for the hydropower station, determines the hydropower indicators of the hydropower station under each water level rise scheme, and analyzes the comprehensive benefits after the water level rise. Finally, decision module 206 determines the economic indicators under each water level rise scheme, conducts economic comparative analysis, and determines the final recommended water level rise scheme. Through the above process, the constraints on the water level rise of hydropower stations were identified from aspects such as reservoir inundation, cascade connection, and flood control safety of the project, and the water level rise range of existing hydropower stations was quantified. Based on the study of flood stages, a scheduling and operation mode under the background of water level rise of hydropower stations was proposed, and the timing and magnitude of water storage and drawdown of hydropower stations were reasonably determined. This provides a complete solution for realizing the water level rise of existing hydropower stations and improving the comprehensive benefits of the project, and makes up for the problem that existing related technologies cannot fully explore the comprehensive benefits of the project.
