The new-generation pumped-storage power station with variable-speed pumping technology will greatly enhance the flexible control operation level of traditional pumped- storage stations, as follows: (1) Stability is better. The fixed-speed pumped-storage power station has a step-type output. Take one of pumped storage power stations as an example.
Adjustable-speed pumped storage hydropower (AS-PSH) technology has the potential to become a large, consistent contributor to grid stability, enabling increasingly higher penetrations of wind and solar energy on the future U.S. electric power system.
Firstly, this paper proposes the concept of a flexible energy storage power station (FESPS) on the basis of an energy-sharing concept, which offers the dual functions of power flow regulation and energy storage. Moreover, the real-time application scenarios, operation, and implementation process for the FESPS have been analyzed herein.
Pumped storage power plants equipped with variable-speed units have a higher profit. Automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve increases the pumped storage power plant profit. Pumped storage power plants can generate additional income from the Intraday market. Robust optimization allows for fast pumped storage power plant bidding curve generation.
The fixed-speed pumped-storage power station has a step-type output. Take one of pumped storage power stations as an example. It takes only about 16 s from −50 MW to −300 MW, and just 14 s from −300 MW to 0 MW. It means a 300 MW unit trips several times in one day, which has a great impact on the Fujian province power grid.
During the three time periods of 03:00–08:00, 15:00–17:00, and 21:00–24:00, the loads are supplied by the renewable energy, and the excess renewable energy is stored in the FESPS or/and transferred to the other buses. Table 1. Energy storage power station.
