With the fossil energy crisis and environmental pollution, wind energy and other renewable energy have been booming. However, the strong intermittence and volatility of wind power make difficult of its integration into grid. To solve this problem, this study proposes a complementary power generation model of wind-hydropower-pumped storage systems, which uses hydropower and pumped storage to adjust the fluctuation of wind power. How to consider the uncertainty and unpredictability of wind power output and make more reliable hydropower generation plan and pumped storage generation plan is the key problem to be solved in the grid with the high proportion of renewable energy. The martingale model of forecast evolution is used to describe the uncertainty evolution of wind power in different regions. According to the flexible load in the region, the flexibility index is used to quantify flexibility, and the transaction price is set to be proportional to flexibility. The two-stage framework of day-ahead and real-time dispatching model is then developed. In the day-ahead stage, different regions trade with each other. If the power after trading is imbalanced, it will be supplemented by hydropower and the grid to meet the power demand. In the real-time stage, the pumped storage is added to quickly balance the deviation of wind power and load between the real-time and day-ahead stages. Finally, considering the positive effect of hydropower on wind power consumption in the grid, a benefit allocation method based on improved Shapley value method is proposed. Test cases are simulated to verify the rationality of the proposed dispatching model and the benefit allocation method. After the cooperation of hydropower and pumped storage, the average revenue growth is 3.02%. The improved benefit allocation scheme makes more benefit of hydropower and pumped storage and promotes the cooperation of multi-participants.
