[0002] A hydropower station consists of a hydraulic system, a mechanical system, and an electrical power generation device. It is a water conservancy project that realizes the conversion of water energy into electrical energy. The sustainability of electrical power production requires that the utilization of water energy in hydropower stations be uninterrupted. Through the construction of the hydropower station reservoir system, the distribution of water resources in time and space can be artificially regulated and changed to achieve the sustainable utilization of water resources. The hydropower station system is essentially a water-mechanical-electric coupling system. Through 5G data control and transmission, the rapid acquisition of multi-beam underwater data and lidar data from both banks is efficiently integrated with the same software. This enables the creation of a three-dimensional model of the overall situation of the hydropower station reservoir area, the establishment of a digital hydropower station reservoir area, and intelligent analysis of reservoir capacity, underwater siltation, and daily inspections. Blind spots are easily found during the inspection of hydropower stations.
