U.S Department of Energy (DOE) study on the Modeling and Analysis of Value of Advanced Pumped Storage Hydropower in the United States The study was led by Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with Siemens PTI, Energy Exemplar, MWH Americas, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Funding for the study was provided by DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) through a program managed by the EERE’s Wind and Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO) The scope of work for the study has two main components: (1) development of vendorneutral dynamic simulation models for advanced pumped storage hydro (PSH) technologies, and (2) production cost and revenue analyses to assess the value of PSH in the power system Throughout the study, the project team was supported and guided by an Advisory Working Group (AWG) consisting of more than 30 experts from a diverse group of organizations including the hydropower industry and equipment manufacturers, electric power utilities and regional electricity market operators, hydro engineering and consulting companies, national laboratories, universities and research institutions, hydropower industry associations, and government and regulatory agencies The development of vendor-neutral models was carried out by the Advanced Technology Modeling Task Force Group (TFG) and was led by experts from Siemens PTI with the participation of experts from other project team members First, the Advanced Technology Modeling TFG reviewed and prepared a summary of the existing dynamic models of hydro and PSH plants that are currently in use in the United States This is published in the report Review of Existing Hydroelectric Turbine-Governor Simulation Models The review served to determine the needs for improvements of existing models and for the development of new ones While it was found that the existing dynamic models for conventional hydro and PSH plants allow for accurate representation and modeling of these technologies, it was concluded that there is a need for the development of dynamic models for two PSH technologies for which there were no existing models available in the United States at the time of the study Those two technologies are (1) adjustable speed PSH plants employing doubly-fed induction machines (DFIM), and (2) ternary PSH units The Advanced Technology Modeling TFG developed vendor-neutral models of these two PSH technologies, which are published in two reports: (1) Modeling Adjustable Speed Pumped Storage Hydro Units Employing Doubly-Fed Induction Machines, and (2) Modeling Ternary Pumped Storage Units Extensive testing of newly developed models was performed using the Siemens PTI’s standard test cases for the Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSS®E) model as well as the Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s (WECC’s) modeling cases for Western Interconnection that were provided in PSS®E format The results of model iii testing are presented in the report Testing Dynamic Simulation Models for Different Types of Advanced Pumped Storage Hydro Units In addition to review by the project team members and the DOE, all these reports have been reviewed by members of the AWG, and their comments and suggestions have been incorporated into the final versions of the reports Parts of these reports will also be included in the final report for the entire study to illustrate the model development component of the work iv Acknowledgements The authors would like to acknowledge the support and guidance provided to the project team by the staff and

Simulation Models 4.2 An Example of the Prevalence of the Hydro Models in a WECC Region Database Using the PSLF Software Section 4.1 showed that the PSLF software package has a wide variety of models to represent hydro units Some models are used much more often than others To illustrate this, a typical representation of the Western U.S power system was analyzed An official WECC PSLF power flow case named “17hw2a.sav,” dated April 26, 2012, and the corresponding dynamics data file named “17hw21.dyd” of the same date were obtained and examined to demonstrate the governor/turbine models that are being used to represent hydro machines in the Western Interconnection for stability studies Table 4-13 shows how often each hydro turbine-governor model is used Note that this table is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed to imply that any model is better than another model or that the results shown here are typical of those from other systems Also note that some utilities may use more detailed models when studying dynamic phenomena associated with their particular plants The most commonly used hydro models in the Western Interconnection are the HYGOV, IEEEG3, HYG3, GPWSCC, and HYGOV4 models, all of which are used to represent more than 10% of the units Table 4-13 Governor/Turbine PSLF Models Used to Represent Hydroelectric Units in a Typical

Simulation Models This page intentionally left blank 4-30 Modeling of Conventional Pumped Storage Hydro Plants Section Modeling of Conventional Pumped Storage Hydro Plants Conventional pumped storage hydro (CPSH) units have many similarities to conventional hydro plants The major difference is, of course, that the flow is bidirectional Usually, but not always, the same equipment is used for both generation and pumping; thus, the synchronous generator also operates as a motor, and the hydro turbine also operates as a pump Both components are therefore reversible in their functionality Some plants, particularly those with very high heads, may require separate turbines and pumps In practical applications, the transition from a generating to a pumping mode of operation (or vice versa) is performed by the operator and takes several minutes (i.e., it is usually not a subject of dynamic simulation studies, except possibly for those used in the initial design of the plant) Thus, in most simulation studies, the generating and pumping modes of operation for CPSH units are studied separately The system conditions being analyzed are appropriate for one mode or the other; for example, studies performed at peak load would model the units as generating while light load studies would model the units as pumping Although the following discussion is based on the PSSE platform, the approach is applicable to any commercial simulation software package Suppose we are studying a CPSH plant that has six units, as shown in Figure 5-1 5-1 Modeling of Conventional Pumped Storage Hydro Plants Figure 5-1 Electrical Configuration of the Plant Since studies of both generating and pumping modes of operation are necessary, the load flow representation is created to handle both modes It is convenient to represent each unit by two machines in the load flow and dynamic database, as shown in Figure 5-2 One machine represents the generating mode of operation, and the other machine represents the pumping mode Figure 5-2 Plant Model for Electrical Network Each of the machines is assigned a status parameter that allows the selection of either the generating or the pumping mode of operation One can thus establish a load flow model to represent the generating conditions by turning “on” the machines that represent generators and turning “off” the machines that represent pumps Using the opposite 5-2 Modeling of Conventional Pumped Storage Hydro Plants status will result in a load flow model for pumping operation The dynamic simulation will recognize only the machines that are turned on in the load flow Of course, only one of these machines can be online in a particular load flow case In the generating mode, the representation in the load flow case is exactly the same as that of a conventional hydro plant During pumping, the electrical power consumed by the synchronous motor is negative in load flow The generator and pump can be represented by an identical set of generator and excitation system models In PSSE, the dynamic simulation models GENSAL, GENSAE, and GENTPJ are generally used to simulate the salient pole hydro machines As described in Section 1, there are many models available to represent the excitation system For the generating mode of operation, one of the available hydro turbine-governor models may be used The discussion in Section reveals different features of these models Sometimes the specific design of the plant may necessitate the modification of these existing standard models or the development of new, user-written models to represent pertinent details of this equipment For example, if several units share the same conduit, the model logic should be able to take into account that some of these units may be uncommitted for the system condition being analyzed To represent the hydro units in pumping operation, the “governor” model for the motor must be different from the governor model used when generating First, generally there is no speed regulation The operator opens and closes the gates under manual control, and the gate position remains fixed Second, the pump head is substituted in place of the static head The pump head is a function of the water flow, as shown in Figure 5-3 for a unit rotating at rated speed This pump characteristic can be characterized by a quadratic equation whose coefficients can be derived from pump characteristics provided in the specifications or determined by testing 5-3 Modeling of Conventional Pumped Storage Hydro Plants Figure 5-3 Pump Head Versus Water Flow If speed deviations during transient conditions are noticeable, the flow, head, and power of the pump should be adjusted The model allows adjustment per affinity laws proportionally to the speed, to the square of speed, and to the cube of speed, respectively, for flow, head, and power Mechanical power is calculated as the product of flow and head divided by efficiency If sufficient data are available, look-up tables of flow versus gate position and of mechanical power versus flow can be represented in the model An example of the pump model is shown in the block diagram of Figure 5-4 5-4 Modeling of Conventional Pumped Storage Hydro Plants Figure 5-4 Block Diagram of Pump Model The models and parameters for both the generating mode and the pumping mode of operation should be thoroughly tested Such tests can be used to demonstrate some of the characteristics of the model that was just described Regarding operation as a generator, one concern is the tuning of the speed governor Usually, during this test (by simulation – not a field test), the plant is isolated and carrying a local load During the governor test, the load is dropped by 5% to 10%, and mechanical power and speed responses are monitored The plots in Figure 5-5 illustrate the governor test for a hydro plant with three units sharing the same conduit for the conditions where one, two, and three units are online The difference in response is due to the difference in flows depending on the number of units that are committed, resulting in a change in the hydraulic characteristics Similar tests can be performed for an increase in load 5-5 Modeling of Conventional Pumped Storage Hydro Plants Figure 5-5 Comparison Plot for Different Plant Configuration for a 10% Step Change in Load In the pumping mode of operation, the features of the CPSH plant mentioned above (i.e., three units sharing a common tunnel) also result in some peculiarities The initial plant conditions for the test illustrated in Figures 5-6 and 5-7 were that one unit (Pump 1) was online at partial load and the second unit was also online as a synchronous condenser During the simulation, the gates for the second unit were opened with a ramp that reached the fully opened position in 10 seconds Pump experienced a drop in mechanical power and flow during the ramping of the gates of Pump The initial surge in the drop in flow and power for Pump was due to the initial increase in the flow of Pump Because of inertial effects, there was no immediate change in flow in the common tunnel The sudden drop in flow in Pump produced a higher pumped head, which partially restored the flow The flow in the common tunnel increased due to the increased pump pressure from both units After the gates for Pump stopped moving, the flows, gate positions, heads, and powers settled at steady-state values This illustrates that the models for the pumped storage unit can be used to represent a wide variety of operating conditions 5-6
