Abstract

When the doubly-fed variable speed pumped storage unit (DFVSPSU) adopts the power priority control, the rotating speed may change excessively during the transient process, potentially causing the rotor side power to exceed the converter capacity, which may damage the converter. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the mechanism underlying rotor side power overlimit and conventional rotating speed pulling-back control (RSPBC), proposing an adaptive rotating speed pulling-back control (ARSPBC). First, the unit's speed operating range and the converter capacity were determined based on the characteristic curve of the pump-turbine. Second, the optimal speed and speed limit were compared, indicating that the unit's operation is closer to the lower speed limit, which increases the likelihood of power overlimit occurrences. Third, the mechanism of rotor side power overlimit and conventional RSPBC were analyzed. It was noted that although conventional RSPBC can prevent rotor side power overlimit, it can result in significant generator power fluctuations. Finally, an ARSPBC incorporating speed change rate feedback was proposed. The numerical simulation showed that the ARSPBC can not only prevent the rotor side power overlimit, but also reduce the generator power fluctuations. Compared to the conventional RSPBC, the power fluctuation was reduced from 70 % to 62.5 %–4 %.
