Abstract

The short-term joint operation of hydro-wind-photovoltaic (PV)-pumped storage hydropower plants (PSHPs) dominated by hydropower has become the main scheduling mode in new power systems. However, mismatched regulation performance (MRP) and strict hydraulic connection (SHC) between upstream and downstream hydropower plants (UDHs) pose significant challenges to the modeling and solving process of joint scheduling. This study constructs a short-term joint scheduling model of hydro-wind-PV-PSHP (STJSMHP) to fully utilize the regulating performance of hydropower. Firstly, an output matching strategy is proposed to model the operational features of renewable energy through Latin hypercube sampling and fuzzy C-means clustering, obtaining the initial output range scenarios. Secondly, an output decomposition strategy is proposed to decompose the joint scheduling process of multi-energy based on the initial output scenarios, quickly obtaining the final scheduling solution. Finally, to improve the scheme practicality, minimum continuous duration and vibration zone constraints of PSHPs are considered in modeling, avoiding frequent conversion and vibration of the units. The practical case study of provincial power grid demonstrates that the STJSMHP, by slightly reducing the peak output, can effectively reduce water abandonment by 4.7861 million m3 and shorten computation time by 90.53 %, and ensuring the scheme practicality of the multi-energy joint scheduling.
