Abstract:

The pumped storage power plant is reliable and flexible, with the ability to adapt swiftly to load changes. When the storage station was previously operational, the load distribution between units did not always take into account the differences in operation characteristics between the units, which resulted in higher energy consumption during operation. For this issue, this study considers energy balance and unit operation constraints and develops a two-layer optimization model with the optimal overall efficiency of the extraction and storage system. The top model primarily optimizes the grids storage system scheduling mode and gives power instructions to the bottom model. The lower model is mostly based on the difference in water turbine and water pump efficiency, and the loads power requirement should be evenly divided among the units to match the real power grid requirement. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively promotes the operation and economic efficiencies of the storage station.

Key words: pumped storage, double-layer optimization, peak load shifting, load distribution
