Analysis of intensive operation benefits of cascade hydropower stations in Heishui River Basin
Analysis was made on the problems existing in current power generation and operation of small hydropow-er stations.According to the upgrading conditions of cascade small hydropower stations in Heishui River Basin,the author analyzed the feasibility of intensive operation.Taking into consideration the uncertainty of inflow,a power generation benefit calculation model of intensive operation was set up based on stochastic chance constrained pro-gramming method,and quantitative analysis was made on the monthly economic benefit improvement of six cascade hydropower stations under intensive operation mode including Naan,Shangli,Geqiang,Zhongjuntan,Xinhe,Nong-ben.The effect of intensive operation mode on ecological environment was discussed according to carbon reduction.The results of calculation demonstrate that compared with traditional operation mode,intensive operation can effec-tively optimize the unit output and improve the overall power generation economic benefits while promoting develop-ment of ecological benefits surrounding the river basin.
