Research on Joint Impoundment Dispatching Model for Cascade Reservoir

As more and more large reservoirs been built, competitive impoundment problem of cascade reservoirs becomes a serious matter in the flood recession. Combining the impounding principle with K value discriminant method, a novel impounding strategy of cascade reservoirs is proposed for determining the impoundment sequence and opportunity of each reservoir in premise of the flood control safety. At the same time, the impounding water level control lines of different frequency runoff are drawn according to the flood routing simulation, and then the Impounding Operation Chart (IOC) is manufactured. On this basis, a model of impoundment dispatching in advance based on the IOC is developed. Then the proposed method can be obviously accelerated by using Self-adaptive Electromagnetism-like Mechanism algorithm (SEM). Compared with the original design of impounding scheme, the result indicates that the optimal scheme can improve the fill storage ratio of cascade reservoirs and ease the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources as well with guaranteeing the safety of flood control in the watershed.
