Optimization Scheduling of Cascade Hydropower Stations in Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction

Article Preview

Abstract:

Considerable water saving and electricity can be attained by optimal regulation of cascade hydropower plants, equivalent to building large and medium-sized hydropower stations without increase in investment and immigration. Thus, the optimal regulation of cascade hydropower plants has great significance on increasing the consumption ratio of fossil energyand reducing atmospheric pollutants discharge. Taking Wujiang river basin as an example, mathematic models and rules of optimal regulation have been obtained in the research,Automation systems have been developed, forming an integrated work platform. Combining optimal regulation and generator control together, the platform helps to put scientific method into practice.Electricity 585 million kWh has been obtained through optimal regulation of Wujiang cascade hydropower stations per year on average, 162200 tons of coal can be saved annually,reduce coal burned by thermal power plants.about 474900 tons of Carbon dioxide, 3185 tons of Sulfur dioxide,3012 tons of nitrogen oxides can be reduced every year.
