Abstract: The large-scale integration of wind and solar energy into cascade hydropower stations increases the complexity of hydraulic/electrical relationships and requires a modification of conventional scheduling mode for better energy system performance. This study focuses on the long-term operation rules for hydro–wind–photovoltaics (PV) hybrid energy systems (HESs). Based on the conventional operation chart, a cascade energy operation chart that couples wind, PV output, and runoff forecasts is proposed to obtain the total output of HES, which can promote the utilization of the joint regulation of cascade hydropower stations. A total output allocation method based on the cascade energy operation chart is established to coordinate the operation of each power station. Then an operation chart optimization model with objectives of maximizing power generation and output reliability is proposed to improve HES performance. The case study reveals that compared with the conventional reservoir operation chart, 1) the optimized cascade energy operation chart increased power generation of HES by 9.2 %; 2) the reservoir impounding timing was delayed, the drawdown timing was brought forward, and the drawdown depth was increased; 3) the reliability of HES power output was improved, and the output corresponding to the 95 % guaranteed rate requirement was increased by 18 %.
