Abstract

The nonlinearity of the hydro-turbine governing system (HTGS) will affect the regulation stability. This paper investigates the stability of HTGS considering the nonlinear coupling of hydro-turbine characteristics (NCTC) under full operating conditions. Firstly, the HTGS models considering the NCTC and power grid conditions are established. Then, the Hopf bifurcation analysis is carried out to comprehensively explain the mechanism of HTGS stability. Finally, the effect regularity of the NCTC on the stability of HTGS is summarized under the full operating conditions. The results indicate that the NCTC includes the coupling of nonlinear speed characteristic and linear head characteristic (NSHC), the coupling of nonlinear head characteristic and linear speed characteristic (NHSC), and the coupling of nonlinear head characteristic and linear opening characteristic (NHOC). The effect of NCTC on stability and dynamic response is mainly realized through the NHOC. The NHOC is favorable for stability under negative load disturbances and unfavorable for stability under positive load disturbances. A smaller unit inertia time constant or a greater flow inertia reduce the effect of NHOC on stable domain. The NHOC has different effects on stability under different operating conditions with a certain regularity. This paper provides potential support for optimizing control parameters of the HTGS.
