| Abstract: | Hydropower resources in river basins are typically developed in a cascade manner.The cascade hydropower stations use water from the same river;in a sense,they form a cluster of hydropower stations which are linked together by the river stream.The dispatch and management of the cascade hydropower stations in a river basin differ from those of an ordinary single hydropower station.Without doubt,unified dispatch can facilitate the full harnessing of hydraulic resources and is in a better position to fulfill the objectives in the development of river basin.As a result,more and more river-basin cascade power stations around the world implement unified dispatching. |
