A review of research on joint optimal scheduling of water resources and power generation in hydropower stations

Abstract

As a renewable and clean energy source, hydropower plays an irreplaceable role in the supply of electricity. Due to the special characteristics of the hydropower station, it has undertaken a certain water resources allocation tasks, such as agricultural water use, industrial water use, municipal water use and other water supply tasks. How to balance the contradiction between water resources allocation and power generation scheduling during the operation of hydropower plants is one of the research hotspots in this field. Joint optimal scheduling of water resources and power generation of hydropower plants in the operation process of hydropower plants is an effective way to solve this problem. The purpose is to review the research result in the field of joint optimal scheduling of water resources and power generation in hydropower stations in recent years, and to discuss the hot direction of future research in this field for providing some reference to relevant research.
