METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING GATE OF WATER STORAGE FACILITY

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for controlling gates of a water storage facility which can prevent an undesirable effect on a life infrastructure relating to a downstream river by controlling a rapid change in a water flow rate from an upstream river to a downstream river. SOLUTION: The method controls gates of a water storage facility which includes a water intake port for taking water from a river having a hydraulic power plant on the upstream side and introducing the taken water to a water storage part, a water intake gate for opening and closing the water intake port, the water storage part for storing the water taken from the water intake port, a water discharge port for guiding the water in the water storage part to a downstream river and a water discharge gate for opening and closing the water discharge port. The method corresponds to a first table consisting of patterned information on time-based properties of the used amount of intake water in the hydraulic power plant, and prepares a second table consisting of patterned information on time-based properties of the water amount in the water storage facility. Gate control of the water intake port and/or gate control of the water discharge port are performed using the second table according to the use state of the first table used in the hydraulic power plant.
