Abstract

A dynamic approach is taken in this study to assess the efficiency of the various functions of the Xiaolangdi multipurpose project using the emergy evaluation method. These functions include flood control, ice jam prevention, sediment reduction, water supply and power generation. Through simulation modeling, both emergy inflows and outflows can be continuously tracked and the variations and uncertainties properly measured for different stages in the operation of the Xiaolangdi multipurpose project on an annual basis. Dynamic emergy analysis provides an alternative way to evaluate the efficiency of a multipurpose hydropower project.
