Title: Modeling and Simulation of Ternary Pumped Storage Hydropower for Power System Studies

Abstract

As the deployment of wind and solar energy increases in the United States, energy storage (ES) will play an important role in future electric power grids. To help manage the variability from high penetration levels of renewable generation, ES can provide promising power/energy demand to coordinate with renewables generation, as a virtual power plant (VPP). There is an industry need for the capability in power system studies to model ternary pumped storage hydropower (T-PSH) that offers increased system benefits. This paper presents a comprehensive vendor-neutral dynamic model of T-PSH in GE's commercial software positive sequence load flow (PSLF). A new governor model is developed with detailed gate valve modeling and a shared-penstock function. Specifically, this model is designed to simulate the seamless transition among three operation modes: generation mode, pumping mode, and hydraulic short-circuit mode. The developed T-PSH model has been tested and validated on a 10-bus test system. A comparison study of T-PSH to conventional pumped storage hydropower has also been conducted on the Western Interconnection system.

Developing of Quaternary Pumped Storage Hydropower for Dynamic Studies

Journal Article Dong, Zerui ; Tan, Jin ; Muljadi, Eduard ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy

Quaternary pumped storage hydropower (Q-PSH) technology, as one of the new advanced-PSH technology, has been developed by taking advantage of Conventional-PSH (C-PSH) and Adjustable Speed-PSH (AS-PSH). By combining adjustable-speed pump unit and conventional hydropower turbine unit in the quaternary configuration, Q-PSH has the more competitive capability of providing fast power support in the future high renewable penetrated power system. Acting as energy storage (ES), Q-PSH provides promising power supply to deal with the uncertainty and variability from renewable energy generation. This paper focuses on the dynamic modeling of Q-PSH technology employing full-converter machine and the impact of Q-PSH on themore »« less

Development of Dynamic Model of a Ternary Pumped Storage Hydropower Plant

Conference Tan, Jin ; Gevorgian, Vahan ; Jacobson, Mark D ; ...

Hydropower is the largest source of renewable energy in the United States. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a hydropower plant that can generate power when it operates as a hydro turbine, and it can absorb power from the electric grid when it is pumping water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir. The conventional role of PSH is as an energy arbitrage: it sells power when the price of electricity is high (i.e., during peak hours of energy demand), and it is operated as a pump during times when the price of electricity is low (e.g., midnight to dawn).more »« less

Dynamic Modeling of Full Converter Adjustable-speed Pumped Storage Hydropower (FC AS-PSH)

Conference Dong, Zerui ; Muljadi, Eduard ; Kim, Jinho ; ... - IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting

Full converter adjustable-speed pumped storage hydropower (FC AS-PSH) technology, as one of advanced-PSH technology, is developed from wind turbine technology. By making the synchronous machine connect to the grid through a full-size converter, FC AS-PSH has a wider adjustment range of speed and a better reactive power control capability compared with a doubly-fed asynchronous generator AS-PSH technology. When it plays as an energy backup in the power system, FC AS-PSH can provide a much faster response than conventional-PSH (C-PSH) which makes this technology provide better ancillary service for a high renewable penetrated system. In this paper, the dynamic modeling ofmore »« less

Impacts of Ternary-Pumped Storage Hydropower on U.S. Western Interconenction with Extremely High Renewable Penetrations

Conference Dong, Zerui ; Tan, Jin ; Muljadi, Eduard ; ...

In recent years, ternary pumped storage hydropower (T-PSH), as one of the advanced PSH technologies, has attracted more attention from the industry. The interest is because of the capability of providing fast power support for the future electric grid with high penetration of renewable energy (RE). This paper focuses on studying the impact of T-PSH on frequency response of the U.S. Western Interconnection under different penetration levels of RE, which are from 20% to 80%. The detailed model of T-PSH is developed and implemented in the Western Interconnection grid model based on the GE Positive Sequence Load Flow (PSLF) platform,more »« less

Simulink Modeling and Dynamic Study of Fixed-Speed, Variable-Speed, and Ternary Pumped Storage Hydropower

Technical Report Jimenez Aparicio, Miguel ; Wilches-Bernal, Felipe ; Darbali-Zamora, Rachid ; ...

Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) is one of the most popular energy storage technologies in the world. It uses an upper reservoir to store water which can be later used during high-demand. In the United States, most of the energy storage capability actually corresponds to PSH. Moreover, PSH also brings multiple benefits to grid operation. This report presents the Simulink models of three common PSH technologies: Fixed-Speed (FS), Variable-Speed (VS), and Ternary (T)-PSH. These models are available to the general public on this GitHub repository, which contains the MATLAB model initialization files, the Simulink model files, and supplementary MATLAB code usedmore »« less
