Optimal scheduling at Three Gorges Project maximizes flood control efficiency.
The main goal of the Three Gorges Project is to control floods in the Yangtze River Basin. By using weather forecasts and optimal scheduling of the reservoir, the project aims to make the best use of flood-relief facilities and power plant discharge capacity. The focus is on effectively utilizing flood resources while ensuring safety. The study identifies issues in flood control scheduling and resource utilization and suggests ways to improve flood control and resource management.
