Abstract:

      The dynamic control of reservoir limited water level is the key point to resolve conflict between flood control and benefits promotion, and realize safe utilization of flood resources. At present, the limited water level is determined by using flood routing to design flood of different frequencies. Different periods in a flood season have different designed flood. Based on safety of the dam and in view of practical operations and flood control standards,BP neural networks are used in the reservoir flood routing process to fully realize the benefits promotion and raise the limited water level as far as possible in a flood season. A neural network method for determining various limited water levels of reservoir flood routing is proposed. Applications show that the method is easy for visualization and simple for implementation. The precision satisfies practical needs, and it can be used in the computation of limited water level.

Key words: safe utilization of flood resources , reservoir flood routing , flood control operation , division of flood season , limited water level , neural network
