Abstract

Hydro-wind-photovoltaic (PV) complementary power systems (HWPCSs) offer a promising solution for integrating intermittent wind and PV power, leveraging the long-term energy storage capacity of reservoirs and the short-term flexible adjustability of hydro units. However, existing studies often neglect the reciprocal influences among short-, mid-, and long-term operations of HWPCSs, resulting in suboptimal operating strategies. To tackle this issue, the study proposes a generic framework for synchronizing operations of HWPCSs across multiple time scales. The framework simultaneously optimizes long-term operating rule curves, mid-term water consumption allocation, day-ahead power generation plan scheduling, and intraday economic operation of HWPCSs. A HWPCS located in the Yalong River Basin is selected as the case study. The results indicate that: (1) synchronized operation effectively reduces the output shortage risk (from 4.86 % to 0 %) and average absolute water consumption deviation (from 2.07 % to 0.09 %) compared to the conventional method; (2) synchronized operation provides more reasonable boundaries for short-term operations, reducing the average online time percentage (from 65.08 % to 63.57 %) and start-up/shut-down times (from 3185 to 2981) of hydro units, leading to an increase in the average hydropower efficiency (from 9.05 to 9.12). This study highlights the impracticality of the conventional method, underscoring the necessity of synchronized operation for HWPCSs. The proposed method provides a practical framework for the efficient operation of HWPCSs.
