Abstract

A method and system for ecological operation of total phosphorus (TP) export of a cascade hydropower station are provided. The method includes: integrating total power generation and TP export of the cascade hydropower station into a single operation objective, and obtaining an operation objective under different weight ratios; optimizing the obtained operation objective; and obtaining a water level operation process corresponding to total power generation and TP export under the current operation objective through the optimized operation objective.
