The Application Of Linear Programming In Generation Profit Maximization Of The Three Gorges～Gezhouba Cascade Water Complex

Linear programming is the branch of mathematical programming with more integrated theory, mature method, and extensive scope of application. It is the subject which focuses on how to optimally accomplish some practical problem in scientific research, industrial design, and economic management with least manpower and material resource. linear programming could be almost applied in every aspect of the real world.On the basis of scientific analysis with the inflow and outflow, mean historical flow, water head, unit output curve, unit nomial output of the Three Gorges-Gezhouba cascade water complex, combining with the three gorges project unit installation schedule and the real situation of the power market, the author does the research on the whole generation profit of the Three Gorges-Gezhouba cascade water complex with linear programming.The thesis discusses how to take the advantage of the cascade united dispatch to the utmost to pursuit the maximization of the cascade whole generation profit, the optimal dispatch scheme and execution procedure is established with reasonable cascade water head allocation. The benefit after the implementation is evident. Furthermore, the extended method could be applied in the cascade station production dispatch of the same water system.It also provides the analysis and problem-solving method to the similar cascade station production procedure.
