Abstract

[Objective] To ensure the downstream flood safety and fully realize power generation benefits, the operation control water level during the storage period of the hydropower station was studied in this paper. [Methods] The amount of water volume that could be stored was calculated by constructing a long series of runoff regulation model, and the required flood storage capacity needs to be reserved were calculated by a joint flood control scheduling model for cascade reservoirs, which promoting to propose the operating control water level corridor. The research was conducted at the Wudongde hydropower station in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River. [Results] To ensure flood control safety, the operation control water level on August 11th and August 21th should be controlled at 966.00 m and 970.90 m respectively; to maximize the full-storage ratio, the operation control water level on August 21th should not be lower than 960.16 m. [Conclusions] The research results refined the method for determining the operation control water level corridors during the storage period, which achieves an effective synergy between power generation efficiency improvement and flood prevention security during the water storage period; some have been applied in the engineering design during the feasibility study stage and dispatching operation, which providing scientific basis for the research on the scheduling methods during the water storage period of large hydropower stations.

Abstract
气候变化和强人类活动使得水旱灾害频发,优化水库汛控水位调度是应对极端水旱灾害的重要技术手段。以雅砻江梯级水库为研究对象,基于流域洪水特性及3座控制性水库的设计洪水,构建梯级水库汛控水位多目标优化调度模型,采用非支配排序遗传算法求解模型得到Pareto解集,并运用基于熵权法的多准则妥协解排序法推求最佳汛控水位方案。结果表明:通过优化调度,在不增加防洪风险的前提下,雅砻江流域两河口、锦屏一级和二滩水库的汛控水位可分别抬升2.54~4.98、0.7~1.77、2.13~2.96 m。20240429场次洪水的实例分析表明,相较于实际调度结果,最佳汛控水位方案可使雅砻江梯级水库总发电量增加2.55亿kW·h(改善率为9.7%),且调洪高水位更低,充分发挥了水库洪水资源调控能力,显著提升了梯级水库综合效益。

Abstract
随着汉江流域水资源开发程度的逐步提高及生态需求不断增加,流域内用水与流域外调水、水资源综合利用与生态用水的矛盾日益突出,亟需通过科学手段强化水资源配置能力,协同推进河湖生境修复与健康维持。为此,以南水北调中线工程供水量、水库发电量、生态流量保证率为目标,构建丹江口水库供水-发电-生态多目标优化调度模型,运用改进的NSGA-Ⅲ优化算法进行求解,得到不同来水频率条件下非劣调度方案集。结果显示:生态最优方案在丰、平、枯来水条件下生态流量保障率分别提升100%、46.65%、88.89%,优化效果明显,最大限度提升生态效益的同时强化了水资源配置能力。研究成果可为推进江河保护治理和水库综合效益发挥提供指导和借鉴。

This paper proposes a decision-making framework for a multiple-period planning of electric vehicle (EV) charging station development. In this proposed framework, transportation planners seek to implement a phased provision of electric charging stations as well as repurposing gas stations at selected locations. The developed framework is presented as a bi-level optimization problem that determines the optimal electric charging network design while capturing the practical constraints and travelers’ decisions. The upper level minimizes overall vehicle CO emissions by selecting optimal charging stations and their capacities, while the lower-level models travelers’ choices of vehicle class (EV or conventional) and travel routes. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem. The results of the numerical experiments describe the sensitive nature of EV market penetration rates in the urban traffic stream and overall vehicle CO emissions to EV charging station availability and capacity. The findings can assist transportation agencies in designing effective EV charging infrastructure by identifying optimal locations and capacities, as well as in creating policies to encourage EV use over time. This study supports broader efforts to reduce air pollution and promote sustainable transportation by promoting EV adoption in the long term.

Abstract
为提升长江上游水资源利用效率,在“雅砻江和金沙江中下游梯级水库联合优化调度建模及应用Ⅰ—联合优化调度潜力分析”的基础上,进一步探究了雅砻江和金沙江中下游梯级上下游水库间和不同梯级间的运行规律,绘制了联合优化调度图,并分析了相关电站的蓄放水次序。研究表明:汛前金中、雅砻江梯级水库与金下梯级各水库消落开始次序宜为两河口—龙盘—锦屏一级—二滩—向家坝—白鹤滩—溪洛渡—乌东德,总体消落思路为上游水库优先消落,尽可能的保持下游溪洛渡、乌东德等电站高水位运行,提高流域整体发电效益;汛末各水库蓄水开始次序宜为锦屏一级—龙盘/二滩—两河口—乌东德—白鹤滩/溪洛渡—向家坝,总体蓄水思路为上游水库优先释放防洪库容开始蓄水,减轻下游防洪压力,且来水偏丰年份的蓄水时间相应有所推迟。

On the basis of our previous potential analysis, we further probed into the operation rules between different reservoirs and different cascades, gave the joint optimal scheduling diagram, and analyzed the sequences of water impoundment and discharging of involved power stations to improve the utilization efficiency of water resources. Results demonstrate that the release sequence of the reservoirs before flood season should be: Lianghekou-Longpan-Jinping I-Ertan-Xiangjiaba-Baihetan-Xiluodu-Wudongde. The overall water releasing idea is to give priority to the upstream reservoirs and keep the downstream power stations such as Xiluodu and Wudongde operating at high water level as far as possible to improve the overall power generation efficiency of the basin. The order of water storage in the reservoirs at the end of flood season should be: Jinping I-Longpan/Ertan-Lianghekou-Wudongde-Baihetan/Xiluodu-Xiangjiaba. The overall water storage idea is to release the flood control capacity of the upstream reservoirs to start storage on a priority basis so as to alleviate the flood control pressure in the downstream, and the storage in wet years should be delayed accordingly.

Abstract
为了给虎跳峡河段梯级开发方案和工程规模的决策提供参考,促进工程早开工、早见效,基于考虑控制性水库调蓄、已建在建跨流域引调水工程和河道外新增耗水量的边界条件,建立了长江上游控制性水库联合调度模型,计算分析了虎跳峡河段梯级不同调节库容方案时水库自身库容的利用情况,以多年平均年发电量和平枯水期发电量指标为代表分析了对下游梯级电站水资源利用效益的补偿作用。通过分析论证认为:结合汛期需要预留58.6 亿m3防洪库容的要求,虎跳峡河段设置60 亿~120 亿 m3调节库容,即可在充分利用本河段水力资源的同时,增加下游梯级电站多年平均年发电量56.2 亿~119.4 亿 kW·h,多年平均平枯水期发电量161.5 亿~294.0 亿 kW·h,继续增加调节库容,虽然对下游梯级电站的补偿效益更为显著,但库容利用率较低,边际效应递减较快。
