Abstract

The paper conducts an in-depth study on the real-time dispatching involved in joint operation among giant cascade hydropower stations with high-intensity peak-load and frequency regulation demand, and proposes anintelligent load control technology for cascade hydropower stations in the coordination mode of station and power grid. Aiming to water level safety control of runoff power stations and rapid response to load regulation requirements of the power grid, taking 10 types of constraints such as output, water volume and flow rate into consideration, a model cluster is established through the layered control principle to realize real-time intelligent load allocation and economic operation among Pubugou, Shenxigou and Zhentouba stations. Dadu River has become the first large-scale river basin in China to realize “one-key dispatch” of multiple stations, and has achieved good demonstration effect.
