The rapid spread of storm floods over large areas requires flood management throughout the river basin by the creation an innovative system of flood control facilities of various functional purposes distributed in the area. The central part of the system is the hydro system with hydro power plant. In addition, the flood control facilities on the side tributaries with self-regulating reservoir are included in the system. To assess the effect of controlling extreme water discharges by flood control facilities, it is necessary to develop special mathematical models reflecting the specifics of their operation. Unified mathematical models of the operation modes of a hydro complex with hydroelectric power station and flood control facility are created. They are implemented in a computer program that provides the ability to determine the main parameters and operating characteristics of hydro systems when performing multivariate calculations in a wide range of initial data. This makes possible specifying the parameters and operation modes of each hydro system with the current economic and environmental requirements, to assess the energy-economic and environmental consequences in the operation of the system of flood control facilities distributed in the area. The article analyses the results of the extreme water discharge’s regulation by the hydro system on the main river and flood control facilities on the side tributaries, considering environmental requirements.

SUMMARYThis paper presents a novel one-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) single-loop reconfigurable 7R mechanism with multiple operation modes (SLR7RMMOM), composed of seven revolute (R) joints, via adding a revolute joint to the overconstrained Sarrus linkage. The SLR7RMMOM can switch from one operation mode to another without disconnection and reassembly, and is a non-overconstrained mechanism. The algorithm for the inverse kinematics of the serial 6R mechanism using kinematic mapping is adopted to deal with the kinematic analysis of the SLR7RMMOM. First, a numerical method is applied and an example is given to show that there are 13 sets of solutions for the SLR7RMMOM, corresponding to each input angle. Among these solutions, nine sets are real solutions, which are verified using both a computer-aided design (CAD) model and a prototype of the mechanism. Then an algebraic approach is also used to analyse the mechanism and same results are obtained as the numerical one. It is shown from both numerical and algebraic approaches that the SLR7RMMOM has three operation modes: a translational mode and two 1-DOF planar modes. The transitional configurations among the three modes are also identified.

Parallel manipulators (PMs) with multiple operation modes are novel reconfigurable PMs which use less number of actuators and can be reconfigured without disassembly. Although several classes of PMs with multiple operation modes that have the same DOF (degrees-of-freedom) in all the operation modes have been proposed, only one class of variable-DOF PMs with multiple operation modes — PMs with multiple operation modes that do not have the same DOF in all the operation modes — have been proposed so far. This paper deals with the type synthesis of variable-DOF PMs with both planar and 3T1R (or Schönflies motion which has three translational DOF and 1 rotational DOF) operation modes. The axes of rotation of the moving platform in the planar operation mode are not parallel to the axes of rotation of the moving platform in the 3T1R operation mode. At first, an approach to the type synthesis of PMs with multiple operation modes is recalled. Based on the results on the type synthesis of planar PMs and 3T1R PMs, the types of variable-DOF PMs with both planar and 3T1R operation modes are then obtained. This work can be extended to the type synthesis of other classes of PMs with multiple operation modes.
