Description

Technical Field

[0002] With economic and technological development and the improvement of people's living standards, electricity has become an indispensable secondary energy source in people's production and daily life, bringing endless convenience. Therefore, ensuring a stable and reliable supply of electricity has become one of the most important tasks of the power system.

[0003] Currently, with more and more new energy power generation systems being connected to the grid, the uncertainty of their output has placed unprecedented operational pressure on the power system. Pumped storage power stations possess excellent peak-shaving and frequency regulation capabilities, making them one of the important methods for peak-shaving and frequency regulation in the power system. Therefore, the primary frequency regulation control of pumped storage power station units is particularly important.

[0004] Currently, pumped storage power stations generally use traditional hydroelectric generators or constant-speed pumped storage units. However, due to factors such as vibration zones and pressure pulsations, these units are very difficult to operate below 40% of their rated load, and their efficiency also drops significantly when deviating from the design operating point. Therefore, traditional pumped storage power station units are gradually becoming unsuitable for modern power systems.

[0005] Variable-speed hydropower units have advantages such as a wide operating range, a large adjustable range of unit power, and high operating efficiency under steady-state conditions, and are considered the preferred unit for pumped storage power stations in the future. However, if the primary frequency regulation method of traditional pumped storage power stations is used to regulate the primary frequency of variable-speed hydropower units, problems such as slow primary frequency regulation response, severe wear of the relay, and the unit's operating conditions deviating from the high-efficiency range will occur.

[0050] This invention sacrifices the rapid adjustment characteristics of electromagnetic power, allowing the electromagnetic power to follow changes in the turbine's prime mover output, thus maintaining a constant unit speed (at the optimal target speed value under the current head and power settings). The turbine output is adjusted by changing the prime mover's opening. This invention is applicable to... Figure 2 The impulse turbine, medium-to-high specific speed mixed-flow turbine, and axial-flow fixed-blade turbine shown solves the problem of difficult primary frequency regulation in medium-to-high specific speed turbines. When the system frequency fluctuation is small, the change in opening is small, the offset of the intersection point of the same unit speed and two equal opening lines is small, and the efficiency change between the two operating points before and after the primary frequency regulation is not significant. This method mainly achieves power change by adjusting guide vanes or nozzles, and the mechanical hydraulic system operates relatively frequently.
