Is it possible to simulate the motor starting dynamics when a pump storage is operated in pumping mode? Is there a PSS/E dynamic model that can be used to simulate this phenomenon?
Motor starting can be simulated in PSSE. See Program Application Guide II, Chapter 21.2.4.
The motor models presented here are for induction machines. I don't think they can be used to simulate pump storage motor starting.
Yes, you are right. Here we are talking about a synchronous motor, i.e. a generator with negative generation. One way to simulate is to have a generator with Pgen=0 in load flow and to start ramping the generator with negative Pmech during the simulation. Note, the generator must be on-line in LF.
Thank you. You mentioned negative Pmech. So this means a governor model should also be present? I tried this approach (Pgen = 0, generator online in load flow) and changed the Pgen to a certain negative value during dynamic simulation. I guess there was an error when I did that method.
Pgen is not used in dynamics. Use a governor model to change Pmech to negative values during simulation. Change Gref to negative value.
Thank you. What governor model can be used where the change of Gref is allowed? I am using WPIDHY but it does not have a Gref parameter.
