Solution Details
Reservoir/Hydropower Ecological Discharge Online Monitoring System
The Reservoir and Hydropower Ecological Discharge Online Monitoring System is a comprehensive solution designed to ensure compliance with national mandates for 100% online monitoring of ecological flow releases. As a co-author of the national standard, Ecolor Technology delivers end-to-end monitoring from sensors to a centralized data platform, essential for maintaining river health and regulatory adherence.
End-to-End Ecological Discharge Monitoring Solution
Ecological discharge is critical for sustaining river ecosystem health. In response to the Ministry of Water Resources' requirement for complete online monitoring, this system provides a reliable and standardized approach.
The solution integrates multiple advanced sensors and a robust data acquisition unit to deliver accurate, verifiable data on flow, water level, and key water quality parameters for ecological discharge compliance.
Core System Components & Advantages
High-Precision LGF Electromagnetic Flowmeters
The system utilizes LGF electromagnetic flowmeters for highly accurate measurement of pipeline flow rates. This component is vital for quantifying the exact volume of water released for ecological purposes.
These flowmeters are engineered for durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in the challenging environments typical of reservoir and hydropower station discharge points.
Visual Radar Level Meters with HD Evidence
Real-time water level monitoring is achieved through innovative visual radar level meters. This technology combines radar measurement with a synchronized HD camera feed.
The fusion of data and visual evidence provides indisputable verification of water level status, adding a crucial layer of accountability and transparency to the ecological discharge monitoring process.
Hero V9 RTU
This powerful Remote Terminal Unit serves as the system's brain, handling data acquisition from all sensors. It also enables remote control of discharge gates and ensures secure data transmission.
Compact Water Quality Stations
These stations monitor essential ecological parameters, including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and pH, providing a holistic view of the discharge water's impact on the downstream environment.
