Constant speed pumped storage unit is widely used, however it cannot adjust the input power when working in the electric mode, and cannot work in the best efficiency when the head of the reservoir changes greatly. Therefore, it is necessary to study and develop the variable speed pumped storage systems. This paper has studied on variable speed operation of static frequency converter for pumped storage units. Besides, development status of variable speed pumped storage system at home and abroad is investigated. Furthermore, classification and advantages and disadvantages of variable speed pumped storage system are also introduced, mainly including two typical variable speed pumped storage systems, i.e., doubly-fed variable speed system and full power variable speed system.

The doubly-fed variable speed pumped storage unit is a storage system suitable for joint operation with renewable energy sources to smooth the imbalance between renewable energy supply and electricity demand. However, its working principle and operation control are more complex than those of constant speed pumped storage. In this study, a nonlinear model of doubly-fed variable speed pumped storage units (VSPSUs) considering nonlinear characteristics of the head loss is established. The study finds that a supercritical Hopf bifurcation occurs in the system, and the area enclosed by the lower side of the bifurcation line and the coordinate axis is the stability domain of the system. The active power step perturbation from −0.3 to 0.3 will gradually reduce the area of the stability domain and narrow the adjustable range of the control parameters. In addition, the sensitivity of the model full state variables and the primary and secondary relationships to the changes of subsystem parameters is analyzed systematically using the trajectory sensitivity. It is found that there is a large difference in the sensitivity of different state variables to the parameters. The state variables are much more sensitive to the transfer coefficient of hydraulic turbine torque to guide vane opening, the unit inertia time constant, and the controller proportional gain change than other parameters, which are defined as highly sensitive parameters. The receiver response time constant and the turbine flow-to-head transfer coefficient are the corresponding low-sensitivity parameters.

In this paper, the control strategies and their characteristics when applied to the doubly-fed variable-speed pumped storage unit in generating mode and pump mode are discussed. The composition of doubly fed variable-speed pumped storage unit is introduced, and the mathematical model of every component is proposed. Two control strategies of the unit are introduced. One is the power priority control strategy and the other is the speed priority control strategy. Then, the control block diagrams of the two control strategies in the generating mode and the pump mode are established, and the parameters of the unit in each control strategy are designed. The two control strategies are simulated in power generation and pumping conditions. Finally, the conclusion that power priority strategy has a better effect on power control is obtained.

A static frequency converter start-up control strategy for pumped-storage power unit is presented. And rotor position detecting without position sensor is realized according to voltage and magnetism equations of ideal synchronous motor mathematics model. The mechanism and implementation method of initial rotor position determination and rotor position estimation under low frequency without position sensor are expounded and validated by simulations. Based on the mentioned control strategy, first set of a static frequency converter start-up device in China for large-scale pumped-storage unit is developed, which is applied to start-up control test in the 90 MW generator/motor of Panjiakou Pumped-storage Power Plant. Test results show that rotor position detecting, pulse commutation, natural commutation, and unit synchronous procedure control of static start-up are all proved. The outcomes have been applied in running equipment, which proves the feasibility of mentioned method.

In this article, a green microgrid is suggested which utilizes renewable energy units such as wind, solar, hydro, and biomass in conjunction with energy storage systems like batteries and the pumped storage. Different test scenarios are investigated to optimally use the power generated from the combined usage of the renewable energy units and the storage units. To judge the performance, a comparative feasibility analysis of the proposed approach is carried out to demonstrate the potential findings based on the total net present cost, levelized cost of energy, operating cost, and initial capital cost. In addition, the proposed solution may be subject to various changes in systems configuration with regard to the wind speed, solar radiation, streamflow, and the electric load; therefore, sensitivity analysis is also presented. Moreover, Indian policy interventions are considered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for a reduction in the overall revenue of the system.
