Study of the Scheduling Rules of Short-term Power Generation Dispatching for Single Hydropower Station

Short-term optimal operation of hydropower station is a high-dimensional, multi-constraint and complex system problem. In this paper, Liyuan hydropower station located in the middle reaches of Jinsha River is cited as an example, and the mathematical model of optimal power generation dispatching has been established. We obtain a large amount of optimal scheduling processes by using the progressive optimality algorithm (POA). Then, the corresponding scheduling rules for single hydropower station which can take advantage of runoff prediction results are derived. A case indicates that the scheduling rules can be effectively used to guide the actual operation run of Liyuan hydropower station.
