Description

本発明は、既設用水路を利用した水力発電設備の発電電力量を算定するための水力発電設備の発電電力量算定装置、発電電力量算定方法、発電電力量算定プログラム及びその記録媒体に関する。   The present invention relates to a power generation amount calculation device, a power generation amount calculation method, a power generation amount calculation program, and a recording medium therefor for calculating a power generation amount of a hydropower generation facility that uses an existing waterway.

従来、既設用水路(例えば、農業用水路や灌漑用水路など)を利用した水力発電設備においては、次のようにして発電電力量を算定していた。すなわち、水力発電設備の水力発電機による一定期間の発電出力をP、水力発電機の取水口の高さと堰の下流側の水面高さとの落差をH、既設用水路に設けた堰の上流側から下流側に向けて一定期間に流れる水の流量データをQsupply、水力発電機の発電効率をη、重力加速度をgとして、P=H×Qsupply×η×gの関係式に基づいて各期間毎の発電出力を算定するとともに、各発電量を合計することにより発電電力量を算定していた(例えば、特開平5−91799号公報、特開2004−180378号公報、特開2005−285032号公報を参照)。 Conventionally, in a hydroelectric power generation facility using an existing waterway (for example, an agricultural waterway or an irrigation waterway), the amount of generated power has been calculated as follows. That is, P is the power generation output for a certain period of time by the hydroelectric generator of the hydroelectric power generation facility, H is the difference between the intake height of the hydroelectric generator and the water surface height downstream of the weir, and the upstream side of the weir provided in the existing waterway Each period based on the relational expression P = H × Q supply × η × g, where Q supply is the flow rate data of water flowing for a certain period toward the downstream side, η is the power generation efficiency of the hydroelectric generator, and g is the acceleration of gravity. The power generation output was calculated for each power generation amount, and the power generation amount was calculated by summing the power generation amounts (for example, JP-A-5-91799, JP-A-2004-180378, and JP-A-2005-285032). See the publication).

ところで、既設用水路を利用した水力発電設備にあっては、ダム等の大規模な水力発電所と異なり、落差Hが小さく、既設用水路の水面形にわずかな乱れが生じても、これによるHの変動によって水力発電機内を流れる水の流量も大きく変動するので、発電電力量への影響が大きい。これに対して従来の算定方法では、水面形の乱れによるHの変化を考慮することなくPを直接Qsupplyに基づいて算定していたので、発電電力量を正確に算定することができなかった。 By the way, in a hydroelectric power generation facility using an existing irrigation channel, unlike a large-scale hydroelectric power plant such as a dam, the head H is small, and even if a slight disturbance occurs in the water surface shape of the existing irrigation channel, Since the flow rate of the water flowing through the hydroelectric generator greatly fluctuates due to the fluctuation, it greatly affects the amount of generated power. On the other hand, in the conventional calculation method, P was directly calculated based on the Q supply without considering the change in H due to the disturbance of the water surface shape, so the generated power could not be calculated accurately. .

本発明は、上記の問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、発電電力量を正確に算定することが可能な既設用水路を利用した水力発電設備における発電電力量算定装置、発電電力量算定方法、発電電力量算定プログラム及びその記録媒体を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is a power generation amount calculation device, a power generation amount calculation method, a power generation amount in a hydroelectric power generation facility using an existing waterway that can accurately calculate the amount of power generation.

図1に示す発電電力量算定装置100は、既設用水路を利用した水力発電設備の発電電力量を算定する装置であってコンピュータにより構成され、モデル記憶部10と、落差−流量関係記憶部20と、流量−効率関係記憶部30と、水位計算部40と、発電電力量計算部50と、を備えている。水位計算部40及び発電電力量計算部50は、コンピュータがハードディスク等の外部記憶装置に記録された所定のプログラムをメモリに読み出して実行することにより実現され、また、モデル記憶部10及び落雷−流量関係記憶部20は等の外部記憶装置上に構築される。なお、上記外部記憶装置はコンピュータに内蔵されていてもよいし、ネットワーク等を介して接続されていてもよい。また、上記プログラムは、例えば、DVDやCD−ROM等の可搬型記憶媒体に記憶されて外部記憶装置にインストールされることとしてもよいし、ネットワーク配信されて外部記憶装置にインストールされることとしてもよい。   A power generation amount calculation device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a device that calculates the power generation amount of a hydroelectric power generation facility that uses an existing water channel, and is configured by a computer. The model storage unit 10, a head-flow rate relationship storage unit 20, and , A flow rate-efficiency relationship storage unit 30, a water level calculation unit 40, and a power generation amount calculation unit 50 are provided.

The above program may be stored in a portable storage medium such as a DVD or CD-ROM and installed in an external storage device, or may be distributed over a network and installed in an external storage device. Good.

モデル記憶部10は、既設用水路と、この既設用水路に設けられた水力発電設備とを表す二次元モデルを記憶する。水力発電設備は、既設水路に設けられた堰(例えば、図5A〜図5C,図6A,図6B,図7に示すクランク型の堰など)と、この堰の上流側に設けられた水力発電機(例えば、水車やイームル工業株式会社製の水中タービンなど)と、を備えたものであり、水力発電機内を流れる水(水中タービンの場合は、その水車部を流れる水)の流量Q発電機は、既設水路を流れる水の流量Qsupplyの影響を直接受けて増減変動する(例えば、図8参照)。なお、図4〜図8には、既設用水路に2台の発電機1,2を設けた場合について例示している。 The model storage unit 10 stores a two-dimensional model representing an existing water channel and a hydroelectric power generation facility provided in the existing water channel. The hydroelectric power generation equipment includes a weir (for example, a crank-type weir shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, 6A, 6B, and 7) provided in an existing water channel, and a hydroelectric power generation provided on the upstream side of the weir. Machine (for example, a water turbine or an underwater turbine manufactured by Emul Industrial Co., Ltd.), and a flow rate Q generator of water flowing in the hydroelectric generator (in the case of an underwater turbine, water flowing in the water turbine section) Is directly affected by the flow rate Q supply of water flowing through the existing water channel and fluctuates (see, for example, FIG. 8). 4 to 8 exemplify a case where two generators 1 and 2 are provided in an existing water channel.

落差−流量関係記憶部20は、上記水力発電設備について、水位の落差Hと、当該水力発電設備内の水の流量Q発電機との関係を示す落差−流量関係(例えば、図2参照)を記憶する。落差Hは、例えば、水力発電機の取水口の水位と堰下流側の水位との差を意味する(図6B参照)。なお、落差−流量関係は、発電機1,2の特性に応じて異なるものである。 The drop-flow rate relationship storage unit 20 has a drop-flow rate relationship (for example, see FIG. 2) indicating the relationship between the water level drop H and the water flow rate Q generator in the hydropower facility. Remember. The drop H means, for example, the difference between the water level at the intake of the hydroelectric generator and the water level downstream of the weir (see FIG. 6B). The drop-flow rate relationship varies depending on the characteristics of the generators 1 and 2.

流量−効率関係記憶部30は、水力発電設備内の水の流量Q発電機と発電効率ηとの関係を示す流量−効率関係(例えば、図3参照)を記憶する。この落差−効率関係は、落差−流量関係と同様、発電機1,2の特性に応じて異なる。 The flow rate-efficiency relationship storage unit 30 stores a flow rate-efficiency relationship (for example, see FIG. 3) that indicates the relationship between the flow rate Q generator of water in the hydroelectric power generation facility and the power generation efficiency η. This drop-efficiency relationship differs depending on the characteristics of the generators 1 and 2 as well as the drop-flow rate relationship.

水位計算部40は、単位時間毎の既設用水路を流れる水の流量Qsupplyを入力データとして、モデル記憶部10で記憶された二次元モデルに基づいて、例えば差分法解析により既設用水路の単位時間毎の水位分布(詳しくは、水力発電機の取水口の領域内の水面高さの分布、及び、放水口出口付近の水面高さの分布)を計算する(例えば、図5A〜図5C,図6A,図6B,図7参照)。 The water level calculation unit 40 receives, as input data, the flow rate Q supply of water flowing through the existing channel for each unit time, based on the two-dimensional model stored in the model storage unit 10, for example, for each unit time of the existing channel by the differential method analysis. The water level distribution (specifically, the distribution of the water surface height in the region of the intake port of the hydroelectric generator and the distribution of the water surface height near the outlet port) is calculated (for example, FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C, FIG. 6A). FIG. 6B and FIG. 7).

発電電力量計算部50は、水位計算部40により計算された水位分布から水力発電設備の単位時間毎の水位落差Hを求める。その際、水力発電機の取水口の水位は、取水口の領域内の平均水面高さとし、他方、堰下流側の水位は、放水口出口付近の平均水面高さで評価する。   The power generation amount calculation unit 50 obtains a water level drop H per unit time of the hydroelectric power generation facility from the water level distribution calculated by the water level calculation unit 40. At that time, the water level at the intake of the hydroelectric generator is the average water level in the area of the intake, while the water level downstream of the weir is evaluated by the average water level near the outlet.

次いで、発電電力量計算部50は、この水位落差Hから落差−流量関係記憶部20で記憶された落差−流量関係を参照して、当該水力発電設備内を流れる単位時間毎の水の流量Q発電機を求める(例えば、図2参照)。さらに、発電電力量計算部50は、この流量Q発電機から流量−効率関係記憶部30で記憶された流量−効率関係を参照して単位時間毎の発電効率ηを求める(例えば、図3参照)。発電電力量計算部50は、これら求めた発電効率η、水位落差H、及び流量Q発電機に基づいて、水力発電設備の単位時間毎の発電電力量を計算し(例えば、図4参照)、さらにこの発電電力量を所定期間にわたって合計することにより、当該所定期間の発電電力量を計算する。なお、以上の計算は、発電機1,2それぞれについて行うこととし、両者の合計値をもって水力発電設備の発電電力量とする。 Next, the generated power amount calculation unit 50 refers to the drop-flow rate relationship stored in the drop-flow rate relationship storage unit 20 from the water level drop H, and the flow rate Q of water per unit time flowing in the hydroelectric power generation facility. A generator is obtained (see, for example, FIG. 2). Furthermore, the generated power amount calculation unit 50 refers to the flow rate-efficiency relationship stored in the flow rate-efficiency relationship storage unit 30 from this flow rate Q generator to determine the power generation efficiency η per unit time (see, for example, FIG. 3). ). The generated power amount calculation unit 50 calculates the generated power amount per unit time of the hydroelectric power generation facility based on the determined power generation efficiency η, water level drop H, and flow rate Q generator (see, for example, FIG. 4). Furthermore, the amount of generated power for the predetermined period is calculated by summing the amount of generated power over a predetermined period. The above calculation is performed for each of the generators 1 and 2, and the total value of both is used as the amount of power generated by the hydroelectric power generation facility.

以上説明したように、本実施形態の発電電力量算定装置100は、発電電力量をQsupplyに基づいて直接を算定するのではなく、水力発電設備内を流れる単位時間毎の水の流量Q発電機に基づいて算定するものである。すなわち、発電電力量算定装置100は、前述した二次元モデルを用いた差分法解析によりQsupplyから水位分布を求め、この水位分布からHを求めるとともに、さらにHからQ発電機、Q発電機からηを順に求め、その上で前述したP=H×Qsupply×η×gの関係式に基づいて単位時間毎の発電電力量を算定するものである。従って、発電電力量算定装置100によれば、既設用水路の水面形の乱れによる落差の変化を考慮した上で発電電力量を算定することになるので、既設用水路を利用した水力発電設備において、発電電力量を正確に算定することが可能となる。 As described above, the generated power amount calculation device 100 of this embodiment does not directly calculate the generated power amount based on the Q supply , but the flow rate of water per unit time flowing in the hydroelectric power generation facility Q power generation It is calculated based on the machine . That is, the power generation amount calculation apparatus 100 obtains the water level distribution from the Q supply by the difference method analysis using the above-described two-dimensional model, obtains H from the water level distribution, and further obtains the H from the Q generator and the Q generator. η is obtained in order, and the amount of generated power per unit time is calculated based on the above-described relational expression of P = H × Q supply × η × g. Therefore, according to the generated power amount calculation device 100, the generated power amount is calculated in consideration of the change in the head due to the disturbance of the water surface shape of the existing canal. Therefore, in the hydroelectric power generation facility using the existing canal, It is possible to accurately calculate the amount of electric power.

なお、本発明において、前述した二次元モデル(発電設備の設置位置など)を自動的に変化させながら繰り返し発電電力量を算定し、その発電電力量が最大となる水力発電設備の配置・水路構造を最適な設計として選定できるようにしてもよい。   In the present invention, the power generation amount is repeatedly calculated while automatically changing the above-described two-dimensional model (such as the installation position of the power generation facility), and the arrangement and channel structure of the hydroelectric power generation facility that maximizes the power generation amount May be selected as the optimum design.

また、上記実施形態では、モデル記憶部10に、既設用水路と、この既設用水路に設けられた水力発電設備とを表すモデルとして二次元モデルを記憶するものとしたが、これに限らず、三次元あるいは一次元のモデルを記憶し、このモデルに基づいて上記実施形態と同様の処理を行うこととしてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the model storage unit 10 stores the two-dimensional model as a model representing the existing water channel and the hydroelectric power generation equipment provided in the existing water channel. Alternatively, a one-dimensional model may be stored, and processing similar to that in the above embodiment may be performed based on this model.

本発明によれば、既設用水路を利用した水力発電設備において、発電電力量を正確に算定することが可能となる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to accurately calculate the amount of generated power in a hydroelectric power generation facility using an existing water channel.
