Intelligent operation and management in the Dadu River Basin

Abstract

The top priority of a hydropower enterprise is to secure the safe, scientific, and economic operation of its power stations. The Dadu River Basin, the fifth largest hydropower base in China, is definitely vital to the grid security and stability in southwest China's Sichuan Province. Given the challenges faced by production O&M (operation and management), efforts were made to put forth solutions featuring multielement business quantification, multisource data integration, and multitarget intelligent collaboration, according to which, through the development and application of a number of key technologies for intelligent operation, hard work was done to promote management optimization simultaneously and realize the smart and autonomous operation of the 10-million-megawatt power station group in the basin.
