Popis: The water consumption rate for hydropower station power generation is an important index of the economic operation of hydropower stations, which has been widely considered and applied in the production practice of hydropower stations and has great significance for the full utilization of hydroelectric resources. This paper takes A and B cascade hydropower stations as the research objects to study the variation patterns of the water consumption rate of hydropower stations under different conditions, which mainly includes the following: (1) in this study, the relationship curve of output–gross head–flow (NHgrossQ) of each unit was established based on the relationship curve of output–net head–flow (NHQ) and the flow–head loss curve of each unit; (2) the mirror vertical shift method was used to calculate and plot the relationship curve of gross head–flow for combinations of multiple units; (3) the outflow–water–output characteristic curve of the hydropower station under the conditions of different reservoir water levels, different discharge flow, or different power generation output under the optimal operation of the hydropower station were calculated and drawn; (4) the outflow–water level–output curve of the hydropower station under various conditions was converted into an outflow–water level–water consumption curve; (5) the variation characteristics of the water consumption rate of the hydropower station under different conditions were analyzed; (6) on the basis of the definition of the water consumption rate of cascade hydropower stations, the research on the variation in the water consumption rate of cascade hydropower stations was carried out under the conditions of different water levels of the A reservoir, different water levels of the B reservoir, different discharge, and different total output of the hydropower stations. The variation pattern of the water consumption rate of hydropower stations under different conditions obtained in this paper can provide technical support for the real-time economic operation of cascade hydropower stations.
