Modelling a pumped storage power plant on the example of the Porąbka Żar power plant

This article presents the idea and mathematical model of a pumped storage power plant. PSPS Porąbka Żar was selected as real object for modelling. Due to specificity operation an intervention-regulatory scheduled nature related coverage demand in system, possibility different modes taken into account model. Porąbka-Żar plant is pearl hydro-engineering on global stage. It first underground second largest Poland. located Międzybrodzie Bialskie, Silesian province. The short distance between upper reservoir station, Mt. Żar, lower międzybrodzkie lake, high average head station 432 m above sea level, create great opportunities accessibility interference station. equipped with four reversible Francis turbine sets, which operate simultaneously total capacity 500 MW generator mode 542 pumping mode. its potential turn-on turn-off times it plays important role national system. made Matlab - Simulink software. An control process facility played by forecast both contingencies. forecasting elements artificial intelligence. In addition, shows supplementing operating hybrid elements. analysis supported commentary number charts
