Design of flood control and operation safety management system for dams operated by China Three Gorges Corporation

China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) currently owns 57 large dams all over the world. These dams are operated by different entities independently. To better share information and to provide efficient technical support for these dams, it's necessary to establish a management information system for safety and flood control, as a standardized operation platform, to collect real-time data, and to provide auxiliary safety analysis as well as functions such as expert consulting and emergency response for their operators. This paper describes the positioning, modules, system integration as well as innovative features of the system.
