1 Introduction

Hydraulic turbine generator units are increasingly beingrelied upon to meet a variety of control requirements as thesize and complexity of interconnected systems increase Toestablish models reflecting the actual characteristics of theprime mover and its governor is an important foundationwork for the accuracy of power grid security and stabilityanalysis [1 2] It is necessary to adjust both the wicketgate opening and the runner blade angle under differentwater head by the governor to keep efficient operation ofa Kaplan turbine which is one of the common forms ofturbines in hydropower systems [3 4] There is an urgentneed to establish Kaplan turbine regulating system dynamicmodel suitable for power system analysis based on measuredexperimental data to obtain the parameters [5]

There have been many studies on the modeling andverification of Francis turbine [6ndash10] The common Francisturbine model contains the single regulator system modelthe wicket gate control system model and the turbine and

water diversion system model The ideal turbine model orlinearized turbine model reflects the basic characteristics ofthe prime mover but the ideal turbine model reflects unitfeatures at rated operating point and the linearized turbinemodel is suitable for small power fluctuations [8 9]

The operation of Kaplan turbine involves control of thewicket gates and the runner blades position to regulatethe water flow into the turbine [2 11] Due to the on-camrelationship between the wicket gate opening and the runnerblade angle the impact of blade angle on Kaplan turbinetransient simulation accuracy should not be ignored [12 13]The linear fitting [14] polynomial interpolation and fitting[15] or intelligent algorithm [16] was used to obtain theon-cam relationship expression However the linear fittingobtained via limited points [14] to an extent may fail toreflect the function completely Different Kaplan turbine andwater diversion system models based on different functionsof wicket gate opening multiplied by function of bladeangle as inputs of nonlinear turbine model were compared[17] The parameter identification of a turbine and water

0is the static head (its per unit value is 1)

and 1199020is no-load flow 119896

119901is proportional coefficient

The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model is established basedon the following four aspects

(a) Under the normal grid connected operation the unitspeed is generally in the vicinity of rated speed so the unitspeed impact on the turbine model is ignored

(b) The hydraulic turbine with the water diversion pipelength less than 800m can adopt the rigid water hammermodel to simulate the dynamic process of the water diversionpipe

(c) Consider the nonlinear relationship between thewicket gate opening and the turbine mechanical power

(d) The effect of the blade opening on the Kaplan turbineis viewed as increasing flow amount

The variable 119866 is introduced to represent the equivalentopening for the combined effect of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening given by

119866 = 119891 (119910) sdot 119891 (119910119903) (9)

There is a time delay between the wicket gate movementand the consequent blade angle movement in the casestudied Figure 7 shows the nonlinear Kaplan turbine modelwith rigid water hammer model considering the above fouraspects combined with (8)ndash(10)

4 Results and Discussion

The testing of the Kaplan turbine regulating system model isbased on the Kaplan turbine at Tukahe hydropower plant inYunnan province of West ChinaThe hydropower station hasthree units with one unit capacity of 55MW normal reservoirstorage level of 368m and rated head of 25m

Different fitting functions of on-cam relationship werecompared based on the whole range measured under givenwicket gate opening disturbances while the gate-runnerrelationship was determined from the turbine characteristics(TC) data in [17] The blade control effect is mainly deter-mined by the on-cam relationship speed limits and blade

41 On-Cam Relationship Validation of Wicket Gate Openingand Blade Opening The fifth order polynomial fitting of theon-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening based on the measured data near the ratedwater head is expressed as

(11)

The blade opening is set to a certain value near zero whenwicket gate opening is less than 40The best fitting functionis obtained through measured data depending on differentKaplan turbines or different working heads The relationshipbetween the wicket gate opening and the blade openingneeds to be revised with appropriate polynomial fitting atother working heads Figure 8(a) shows the simulated bladeopening of the blade control system model (see Figure 4)using the expression in (11) under given wicket gate openingdisturbances of whole range

As shown in Figure 8(a) when the wicket gate openingis less than 04 by per unit value the blade opening isapproximate to zero and the maximum blade opening isabout 09 by per unit value The piecewise linear fitting resultfits with the measured data when the wicket gate opening isless than 06 and has a difference as the wicket gate openingover 06 by per unit valueThe fifth order fitting shown in (11)is closest to the measured data which shows a better on-camrelationship than the other fitting methods Given the wicketgate opening disturbances the simulation result using fifthorder fitting is consistent with themeasured data in the wholeoperating range (see Figure 8(c)) and verifies the correctnessof the on-cam relationship function

42 Influence of Blade Servomotor Time Constant on the BladeControl System Model The influence of blade servomotortime constant on the blade control systemmodel was studiedFigure 9 shows the simulation results with different 119879

119910119903

valuesThe influence of different 119879

119910119903values on the simulation

results shows that the bigger 119879119910119903

is the slower adjusted rate

is (see Figure 9) and thus 119879119910119903

should be as small as possibleDue to the rate restrictions of VELopen1 and VELclose1 theresult difference is not obvious when 119879

119910119903is less than 1 s

In conclusion the blade servomotor time constant affectsthe adjustment of blade control system model and shouldbe set in a reasonable range of value 119879

119910119903in this case is 1 s

considering that it is difficult to be tested When 119879119910119903is about

1 s (ie the blade servomotor response time link is ignored)it has little effect on the simulation result but simplifies themodeling and experimental work

43 Turbine Regulating System Model Validation The im-proved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm (iethe inertia weight is linearly changed and the chaos methodis used to generate initial particle population) is applied toidentify the model parameters [20] The inertia weight isintroduced to revise the speed update equation to improvesearch ability in the global scope The chaos method is usedto generate good initial particle population

The speed limits and amplitude limits of the vane controlsystem and blade control system were calculated under largewicket gate opening disturbances while other parameterswere identified by the improved particle swarm optimiza-tion (IPSO) algorithm under small wicket gate openingdisturbances and the parameters were revised through gridconnected simulation comparison The maximum iterationstep of IPSO algorithm is 100 For the error function withthe extreme point of zero the tolerance of error is set to 10minus6The parameters generally range from slightly greater than 0 to100 to get global solution as much as possible Based on theturbine power disturbance test data and the unit frequencydisturbance test data Table 1 lists the cubic fitting relationbetween variables 119910

Table 2 shows the identified parameters of the Kaplanturbine and water diversion system model using model oneand model two

Figure 12 shows the comparison results of the turbinepower rising test using these three turbine models (iemodel one model two and model three) and decreasingdisturbance test using model three with the same Kaplanturbine regulating system mathematical model respectivelyAlso Table 3 lists the power rising disturbance simulationerrors of three models

The Kaplan turbine and water diversion system modelusingmodel one (ie the linearizedKaplan turbinemodel) toa certain extent does not accurately reflect the hydroturbinedynamic process when the power output is between 062 and072 by per unit value (see Figure 12) As shown in Table 3

model two failed to completely reflect dynamic change ofthe blade opening and its simulation result has a significantdifference with the measured curve The output of modelthree (ie the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model) is basicallythe same with the measured curve which is more accuratethan model two In summary model one and model threeapply dual input of the wicket gate opening and the bladeopeningThese twomodels regard the effect of blade openingon Kaplan turbine as increasing flow amount and as a resultinfluence the unit power output Through verification of thefrequency disturbance test and turbine power disturbancetest the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model can meet the needsof the Kaplan turbine dynamic simulation better

5 Conclusion

Kaplan turbine model in this paper is divided into thegovernor system model the blade control system model andthe turbine and water diversion system model The detaileddual-regulated vane control system model and blade controlsystemmodel were developedThe comparison of simulationand measured results showed the reasonableness and effec-tiveness of the established model and parameters The on-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening and the influence of the blade servomotor timeconstant on the blade control systemmodel were studiedTheblade opening was transferred from the blade angle and thefifth order polynomial fitting function could characterize theon-cam relationship with amplitude limits set of the bladeopening in this study The blade servomotor time constantshould be set in a reasonable range of value but it was difficultto be tested In this study 119879

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis

0is the static head (its per unit value is 1)

and 1199020is no-load flow 119896

The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model is established basedon the following four aspects

(a) Under the normal grid connected operation the unitspeed is generally in the vicinity of rated speed so the unitspeed impact on the turbine model is ignored

(b) The hydraulic turbine with the water diversion pipelength less than 800m can adopt the rigid water hammermodel to simulate the dynamic process of the water diversionpipe

(c) Consider the nonlinear relationship between thewicket gate opening and the turbine mechanical power

(d) The effect of the blade opening on the Kaplan turbineis viewed as increasing flow amount

The variable 119866 is introduced to represent the equivalentopening for the combined effect of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening given by

119866 = 119891 (119910) sdot 119891 (119910119903) (9)

4 Results and Discussion

The testing of the Kaplan turbine regulating system model isbased on the Kaplan turbine at Tukahe hydropower plant inYunnan province of West ChinaThe hydropower station hasthree units with one unit capacity of 55MW normal reservoirstorage level of 368m and rated head of 25m

Different fitting functions of on-cam relationship werecompared based on the whole range measured under givenwicket gate opening disturbances while the gate-runnerrelationship was determined from the turbine characteristics(TC) data in [17] The blade control effect is mainly deter-mined by the on-cam relationship speed limits and blade

The blade opening is set to a certain value near zero whenwicket gate opening is less than 40The best fitting functionis obtained through measured data depending on differentKaplan turbines or different working heads The relationshipbetween the wicket gate opening and the blade openingneeds to be revised with appropriate polynomial fitting atother working heads Figure 8(a) shows the simulated bladeopening of the blade control system model (see Figure 4)using the expression in (11) under given wicket gate openingdisturbances of whole range

As shown in Figure 8(a) when the wicket gate openingis less than 04 by per unit value the blade opening isapproximate to zero and the maximum blade opening isabout 09 by per unit value The piecewise linear fitting resultfits with the measured data when the wicket gate opening isless than 06 and has a difference as the wicket gate openingover 06 by per unit valueThe fifth order fitting shown in (11)is closest to the measured data which shows a better on-camrelationship than the other fitting methods Given the wicketgate opening disturbances the simulation result using fifthorder fitting is consistent with themeasured data in the wholeoperating range (see Figure 8(c)) and verifies the correctnessof the on-cam relationship function

42 Influence of Blade Servomotor Time Constant on the BladeControl System Model The influence of blade servomotortime constant on the blade control systemmodel was studiedFigure 9 shows the simulation results with different 119879

valuesThe influence of different 119879

119910119903values on the simulation

results shows that the bigger 119879119910119903

is the slower adjusted rate

is (see Figure 9) and thus 119879119910119903

should be as small as possibleDue to the rate restrictions of VELopen1 and VELclose1 theresult difference is not obvious when 119879

119910119903is less than 1 s

In conclusion the blade servomotor time constant affectsthe adjustment of blade control system model and shouldbe set in a reasonable range of value 119879

119910119903in this case is 1 s

considering that it is difficult to be tested When 119879119910119903is about

1 s (ie the blade servomotor response time link is ignored)it has little effect on the simulation result but simplifies themodeling and experimental work

43 Turbine Regulating System Model Validation The im-proved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm (iethe inertia weight is linearly changed and the chaos methodis used to generate initial particle population) is applied toidentify the model parameters [20] The inertia weight isintroduced to revise the speed update equation to improvesearch ability in the global scope The chaos method is usedto generate good initial particle population

The speed limits and amplitude limits of the vane controlsystem and blade control system were calculated under largewicket gate opening disturbances while other parameterswere identified by the improved particle swarm optimiza-tion (IPSO) algorithm under small wicket gate openingdisturbances and the parameters were revised through gridconnected simulation comparison The maximum iterationstep of IPSO algorithm is 100 For the error function withthe extreme point of zero the tolerance of error is set to 10minus6The parameters generally range from slightly greater than 0 to100 to get global solution as much as possible Based on theturbine power disturbance test data and the unit frequencydisturbance test data Table 1 lists the cubic fitting relationbetween variables 119910

The Kaplan turbine and water diversion system modelusingmodel one (ie the linearizedKaplan turbinemodel) toa certain extent does not accurately reflect the hydroturbinedynamic process when the power output is between 062 and072 by per unit value (see Figure 12) As shown in Table 3

5 Conclusion

Kaplan turbine model in this paper is divided into thegovernor system model the blade control system model andthe turbine and water diversion system model The detaileddual-regulated vane control system model and blade controlsystemmodel were developedThe comparison of simulationand measured results showed the reasonableness and effec-tiveness of the established model and parameters The on-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening and the influence of the blade servomotor timeconstant on the blade control systemmodel were studiedTheblade opening was transferred from the blade angle and thefifth order polynomial fitting function could characterize theon-cam relationship with amplitude limits set of the bladeopening in this study The blade servomotor time constantshould be set in a reasonable range of value but it was difficultto be tested In this study 119879

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis

33 Model Three Nonlinear Kaplan Turbine Model For theFrancis turbine considering the relationship between theturbine flow wicket gate opening and the water head as avalve [19] the nonlinear turbine model is described by

where 119902 is the water flow in the diversion pipeline 119902 is thederivative of 119902 ℎ

0is the static head (its per unit value is 1)

and 1199020is no-load flow 119896

119901is proportional coefficient

The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model is established basedon the following four aspects

(a) Under the normal grid connected operation the unitspeed is generally in the vicinity of rated speed so the unitspeed impact on the turbine model is ignored

(b) The hydraulic turbine with the water diversion pipelength less than 800m can adopt the rigid water hammermodel to simulate the dynamic process of the water diversionpipe

(c) Consider the nonlinear relationship between thewicket gate opening and the turbine mechanical power

(d) The effect of the blade opening on the Kaplan turbineis viewed as increasing flow amount

The variable 119866 is introduced to represent the equivalentopening for the combined effect of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening given by

119866 = 119891 (119910) sdot 119891 (119910119903) (9)

where 119891(119910) and 119891(119910119903) are the function of 119910 and 119910

119903 respec-

There is a time delay between the wicket gate movementand the consequent blade angle movement in the casestudied Figure 7 shows the nonlinear Kaplan turbine modelwith rigid water hammer model considering the above fouraspects combined with (8)ndash(10)

4 Results and Discussion

The testing of the Kaplan turbine regulating system model isbased on the Kaplan turbine at Tukahe hydropower plant inYunnan province of West ChinaThe hydropower station hasthree units with one unit capacity of 55MW normal reservoirstorage level of 368m and rated head of 25m

Different fitting functions of on-cam relationship werecompared based on the whole range measured under givenwicket gate opening disturbances while the gate-runnerrelationship was determined from the turbine characteristics(TC) data in [17] The blade control effect is mainly deter-mined by the on-cam relationship speed limits and blade

41 On-Cam Relationship Validation of Wicket Gate Openingand Blade Opening The fifth order polynomial fitting of theon-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening based on the measured data near the ratedwater head is expressed as

(11)

The blade opening is set to a certain value near zero whenwicket gate opening is less than 40The best fitting functionis obtained through measured data depending on differentKaplan turbines or different working heads The relationshipbetween the wicket gate opening and the blade openingneeds to be revised with appropriate polynomial fitting atother working heads Figure 8(a) shows the simulated bladeopening of the blade control system model (see Figure 4)using the expression in (11) under given wicket gate openingdisturbances of whole range

As shown in Figure 8(a) when the wicket gate openingis less than 04 by per unit value the blade opening isapproximate to zero and the maximum blade opening isabout 09 by per unit value The piecewise linear fitting resultfits with the measured data when the wicket gate opening isless than 06 and has a difference as the wicket gate openingover 06 by per unit valueThe fifth order fitting shown in (11)is closest to the measured data which shows a better on-camrelationship than the other fitting methods Given the wicketgate opening disturbances the simulation result using fifthorder fitting is consistent with themeasured data in the wholeoperating range (see Figure 8(c)) and verifies the correctnessof the on-cam relationship function

42 Influence of Blade Servomotor Time Constant on the BladeControl System Model The influence of blade servomotortime constant on the blade control systemmodel was studiedFigure 9 shows the simulation results with different 119879

119910119903

valuesThe influence of different 119879

119910119903values on the simulation

results shows that the bigger 119879119910119903

is the slower adjusted rate

is (see Figure 9) and thus 119879119910119903

should be as small as possibleDue to the rate restrictions of VELopen1 and VELclose1 theresult difference is not obvious when 119879

119910119903is less than 1 s

In conclusion the blade servomotor time constant affectsthe adjustment of blade control system model and shouldbe set in a reasonable range of value 119879

119910119903in this case is 1 s

considering that it is difficult to be tested When 119879119910119903is about

1 s (ie the blade servomotor response time link is ignored)it has little effect on the simulation result but simplifies themodeling and experimental work

43 Turbine Regulating System Model Validation The im-proved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm (iethe inertia weight is linearly changed and the chaos methodis used to generate initial particle population) is applied toidentify the model parameters [20] The inertia weight isintroduced to revise the speed update equation to improvesearch ability in the global scope The chaos method is usedto generate good initial particle population

119903changes with 119910 when the wicket gate opening

is over a certain value In addition the relationship betweenthe wicket gate opening and the turbine mechanical power isnonlinear

The speed limits and amplitude limits of the vane controlsystem and blade control system were calculated under largewicket gate opening disturbances while other parameterswere identified by the improved particle swarm optimiza-tion (IPSO) algorithm under small wicket gate openingdisturbances and the parameters were revised through gridconnected simulation comparison The maximum iterationstep of IPSO algorithm is 100 For the error function withthe extreme point of zero the tolerance of error is set to 10minus6The parameters generally range from slightly greater than 0 to100 to get global solution as much as possible Based on theturbine power disturbance test data and the unit frequencydisturbance test data Table 1 lists the cubic fitting relationbetween variables 119910

Figure 12 shows the comparison results of the turbinepower rising test using these three turbine models (iemodel one model two and model three) and decreasingdisturbance test using model three with the same Kaplanturbine regulating system mathematical model respectivelyAlso Table 3 lists the power rising disturbance simulationerrors of three models

The Kaplan turbine and water diversion system modelusingmodel one (ie the linearizedKaplan turbinemodel) toa certain extent does not accurately reflect the hydroturbinedynamic process when the power output is between 062 and072 by per unit value (see Figure 12) As shown in Table 3

model two failed to completely reflect dynamic change ofthe blade opening and its simulation result has a significantdifference with the measured curve The output of modelthree (ie the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model) is basicallythe same with the measured curve which is more accuratethan model two In summary model one and model threeapply dual input of the wicket gate opening and the bladeopeningThese twomodels regard the effect of blade openingon Kaplan turbine as increasing flow amount and as a resultinfluence the unit power output Through verification of thefrequency disturbance test and turbine power disturbancetest the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model can meet the needsof the Kaplan turbine dynamic simulation better

5 Conclusion

Kaplan turbine model in this paper is divided into thegovernor system model the blade control system model andthe turbine and water diversion system model The detaileddual-regulated vane control system model and blade controlsystemmodel were developedThe comparison of simulationand measured results showed the reasonableness and effec-tiveness of the established model and parameters The on-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening and the influence of the blade servomotor timeconstant on the blade control systemmodel were studiedTheblade opening was transferred from the blade angle and thefifth order polynomial fitting function could characterize theon-cam relationship with amplitude limits set of the bladeopening in this study The blade servomotor time constantshould be set in a reasonable range of value but it was difficultto be tested In this study 119879

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis

0is the static head (its per unit value is 1)

and 1199020is no-load flow 119896

119901is proportional coefficient

The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model is established basedon the following four aspects

(a) Under the normal grid connected operation the unitspeed is generally in the vicinity of rated speed so the unitspeed impact on the turbine model is ignored

(b) The hydraulic turbine with the water diversion pipelength less than 800m can adopt the rigid water hammermodel to simulate the dynamic process of the water diversionpipe

(c) Consider the nonlinear relationship between thewicket gate opening and the turbine mechanical power

(d) The effect of the blade opening on the Kaplan turbineis viewed as increasing flow amount

The variable 119866 is introduced to represent the equivalentopening for the combined effect of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening given by

119866 = 119891 (119910) sdot 119891 (119910119903) (9)

4 Results and Discussion

The testing of the Kaplan turbine regulating system model isbased on the Kaplan turbine at Tukahe hydropower plant inYunnan province of West ChinaThe hydropower station hasthree units with one unit capacity of 55MW normal reservoirstorage level of 368m and rated head of 25m

Different fitting functions of on-cam relationship werecompared based on the whole range measured under givenwicket gate opening disturbances while the gate-runnerrelationship was determined from the turbine characteristics(TC) data in [17] The blade control effect is mainly deter-mined by the on-cam relationship speed limits and blade

41 On-Cam Relationship Validation of Wicket Gate Openingand Blade Opening The fifth order polynomial fitting of theon-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening based on the measured data near the ratedwater head is expressed as

The blade opening is set to a certain value near zero whenwicket gate opening is less than 40The best fitting functionis obtained through measured data depending on differentKaplan turbines or different working heads The relationshipbetween the wicket gate opening and the blade openingneeds to be revised with appropriate polynomial fitting atother working heads Figure 8(a) shows the simulated bladeopening of the blade control system model (see Figure 4)using the expression in (11) under given wicket gate openingdisturbances of whole range

As shown in Figure 8(a) when the wicket gate openingis less than 04 by per unit value the blade opening isapproximate to zero and the maximum blade opening isabout 09 by per unit value The piecewise linear fitting resultfits with the measured data when the wicket gate opening isless than 06 and has a difference as the wicket gate openingover 06 by per unit valueThe fifth order fitting shown in (11)is closest to the measured data which shows a better on-camrelationship than the other fitting methods Given the wicketgate opening disturbances the simulation result using fifthorder fitting is consistent with themeasured data in the wholeoperating range (see Figure 8(c)) and verifies the correctnessof the on-cam relationship function

42 Influence of Blade Servomotor Time Constant on the BladeControl System Model The influence of blade servomotortime constant on the blade control systemmodel was studiedFigure 9 shows the simulation results with different 119879

valuesThe influence of different 119879

119910119903values on the simulation

results shows that the bigger 119879119910119903

is the slower adjusted rate

is (see Figure 9) and thus 119879119910119903

should be as small as possibleDue to the rate restrictions of VELopen1 and VELclose1 theresult difference is not obvious when 119879

119910119903is less than 1 s

In conclusion the blade servomotor time constant affectsthe adjustment of blade control system model and shouldbe set in a reasonable range of value 119879

119910119903in this case is 1 s

considering that it is difficult to be tested When 119879119910119903is about

1 s (ie the blade servomotor response time link is ignored)it has little effect on the simulation result but simplifies themodeling and experimental work

43 Turbine Regulating System Model Validation The im-proved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm (iethe inertia weight is linearly changed and the chaos methodis used to generate initial particle population) is applied toidentify the model parameters [20] The inertia weight isintroduced to revise the speed update equation to improvesearch ability in the global scope The chaos method is usedto generate good initial particle population

119903changes with 119910 when the wicket gate opening

is over a certain value In addition the relationship betweenthe wicket gate opening and the turbine mechanical power isnonlinear

The speed limits and amplitude limits of the vane controlsystem and blade control system were calculated under largewicket gate opening disturbances while other parameterswere identified by the improved particle swarm optimiza-tion (IPSO) algorithm under small wicket gate openingdisturbances and the parameters were revised through gridconnected simulation comparison The maximum iterationstep of IPSO algorithm is 100 For the error function withthe extreme point of zero the tolerance of error is set to 10minus6The parameters generally range from slightly greater than 0 to100 to get global solution as much as possible Based on theturbine power disturbance test data and the unit frequencydisturbance test data Table 1 lists the cubic fitting relationbetween variables 119910

Figure 12 shows the comparison results of the turbinepower rising test using these three turbine models (iemodel one model two and model three) and decreasingdisturbance test using model three with the same Kaplanturbine regulating system mathematical model respectivelyAlso Table 3 lists the power rising disturbance simulationerrors of three models

The Kaplan turbine and water diversion system modelusingmodel one (ie the linearizedKaplan turbinemodel) toa certain extent does not accurately reflect the hydroturbinedynamic process when the power output is between 062 and072 by per unit value (see Figure 12) As shown in Table 3

model two failed to completely reflect dynamic change ofthe blade opening and its simulation result has a significantdifference with the measured curve The output of modelthree (ie the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model) is basicallythe same with the measured curve which is more accuratethan model two In summary model one and model threeapply dual input of the wicket gate opening and the bladeopeningThese twomodels regard the effect of blade openingon Kaplan turbine as increasing flow amount and as a resultinfluence the unit power output Through verification of thefrequency disturbance test and turbine power disturbancetest the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model can meet the needsof the Kaplan turbine dynamic simulation better

Assume that there is a three-phase short-circuit fault onlines 17-18 near bus 18 at 1 s and lines 17-18 are disconnectedat 11 s Figure 15 shows the simulation results

As shown in Figure 15 the terminal voltage of Kaplanturbine is rapidly reduced to around zero when a three-phase

short-circuit fault occurs Each observation returns to thesteady-state value after removing the fault line besides thereactive power with value of a little increase The terminalvoltage changes with the three kinds of the turbine regulatingsystem dynamic model (ie the Kaplan turbine and waterdiversion system model using model one model two andmodel three) are basically the same Under the initial turbine

5 Conclusion

Kaplan turbine model in this paper is divided into thegovernor system model the blade control system model andthe turbine and water diversion system model The detaileddual-regulated vane control system model and blade controlsystemmodel were developedThe comparison of simulationand measured results showed the reasonableness and effec-tiveness of the established model and parameters The on-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening and the influence of the blade servomotor timeconstant on the blade control systemmodel were studiedTheblade opening was transferred from the blade angle and thefifth order polynomial fitting function could characterize theon-cam relationship with amplitude limits set of the bladeopening in this study The blade servomotor time constantshould be set in a reasonable range of value but it was difficultto be tested In this study 119879

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis

The blade opening is set to a certain value near zero whenwicket gate opening is less than 40The best fitting functionis obtained through measured data depending on differentKaplan turbines or different working heads The relationshipbetween the wicket gate opening and the blade openingneeds to be revised with appropriate polynomial fitting atother working heads Figure 8(a) shows the simulated bladeopening of the blade control system model (see Figure 4)using the expression in (11) under given wicket gate openingdisturbances of whole range

As shown in Figure 8(a) when the wicket gate openingis less than 04 by per unit value the blade opening isapproximate to zero and the maximum blade opening isabout 09 by per unit value The piecewise linear fitting resultfits with the measured data when the wicket gate opening isless than 06 and has a difference as the wicket gate openingover 06 by per unit valueThe fifth order fitting shown in (11)is closest to the measured data which shows a better on-camrelationship than the other fitting methods Given the wicketgate opening disturbances the simulation result using fifthorder fitting is consistent with themeasured data in the wholeoperating range (see Figure 8(c)) and verifies the correctnessof the on-cam relationship function

42 Influence of Blade Servomotor Time Constant on the BladeControl System Model The influence of blade servomotortime constant on the blade control systemmodel was studiedFigure 9 shows the simulation results with different 119879

119910119903values on the simulation

results shows that the bigger 119879119910119903

is the slower adjusted rate

is (see Figure 9) and thus 119879119910119903

should be as small as possibleDue to the rate restrictions of VELopen1 and VELclose1 theresult difference is not obvious when 119879

119910119903is less than 1 s

In conclusion the blade servomotor time constant affectsthe adjustment of blade control system model and shouldbe set in a reasonable range of value 119879

119910119903in this case is 1 s

considering that it is difficult to be tested When 119879119910119903is about

1 s (ie the blade servomotor response time link is ignored)it has little effect on the simulation result but simplifies themodeling and experimental work

43 Turbine Regulating System Model Validation The im-proved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm (iethe inertia weight is linearly changed and the chaos methodis used to generate initial particle population) is applied toidentify the model parameters [20] The inertia weight isintroduced to revise the speed update equation to improvesearch ability in the global scope The chaos method is usedto generate good initial particle population

The speed limits and amplitude limits of the vane controlsystem and blade control system were calculated under largewicket gate opening disturbances while other parameterswere identified by the improved particle swarm optimiza-tion (IPSO) algorithm under small wicket gate openingdisturbances and the parameters were revised through gridconnected simulation comparison The maximum iterationstep of IPSO algorithm is 100 For the error function withthe extreme point of zero the tolerance of error is set to 10minus6The parameters generally range from slightly greater than 0 to100 to get global solution as much as possible Based on theturbine power disturbance test data and the unit frequencydisturbance test data Table 1 lists the cubic fitting relationbetween variables 119910

results agree with the measured curve indicating that theestablished vane and blade control model can effectivelyreflect the dynamic characteristics of Kaplan turbine

Table 2 shows the identified parameters of the Kaplanturbine and water diversion system model using model oneand model two

Figure 12 shows the comparison results of the turbinepower rising test using these three turbine models (iemodel one model two and model three) and decreasingdisturbance test using model three with the same Kaplanturbine regulating system mathematical model respectivelyAlso Table 3 lists the power rising disturbance simulationerrors of three models

The Kaplan turbine and water diversion system modelusingmodel one (ie the linearizedKaplan turbinemodel) toa certain extent does not accurately reflect the hydroturbinedynamic process when the power output is between 062 and072 by per unit value (see Figure 12) As shown in Table 3

model two failed to completely reflect dynamic change ofthe blade opening and its simulation result has a significantdifference with the measured curve The output of modelthree (ie the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model) is basicallythe same with the measured curve which is more accuratethan model two In summary model one and model threeapply dual input of the wicket gate opening and the bladeopeningThese twomodels regard the effect of blade openingon Kaplan turbine as increasing flow amount and as a resultinfluence the unit power output Through verification of thefrequency disturbance test and turbine power disturbancetest the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model can meet the needsof the Kaplan turbine dynamic simulation better

5 Conclusion

Kaplan turbine model in this paper is divided into thegovernor system model the blade control system model andthe turbine and water diversion system model The detaileddual-regulated vane control system model and blade controlsystemmodel were developedThe comparison of simulationand measured results showed the reasonableness and effec-tiveness of the established model and parameters The on-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening and the influence of the blade servomotor timeconstant on the blade control systemmodel were studiedTheblade opening was transferred from the blade angle and thefifth order polynomial fitting function could characterize theon-cam relationship with amplitude limits set of the bladeopening in this study The blade servomotor time constantshould be set in a reasonable range of value but it was difficultto be tested In this study 119879

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis

results agree with the measured curve indicating that theestablished vane and blade control model can effectivelyreflect the dynamic characteristics of Kaplan turbine

Table 2 shows the identified parameters of the Kaplanturbine and water diversion system model using model oneand model two

Figure 12 shows the comparison results of the turbinepower rising test using these three turbine models (iemodel one model two and model three) and decreasingdisturbance test using model three with the same Kaplanturbine regulating system mathematical model respectivelyAlso Table 3 lists the power rising disturbance simulationerrors of three models

The Kaplan turbine and water diversion system modelusingmodel one (ie the linearizedKaplan turbinemodel) toa certain extent does not accurately reflect the hydroturbinedynamic process when the power output is between 062 and072 by per unit value (see Figure 12) As shown in Table 3

model two failed to completely reflect dynamic change ofthe blade opening and its simulation result has a significantdifference with the measured curve The output of modelthree (ie the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model) is basicallythe same with the measured curve which is more accuratethan model two In summary model one and model threeapply dual input of the wicket gate opening and the bladeopeningThese twomodels regard the effect of blade openingon Kaplan turbine as increasing flow amount and as a resultinfluence the unit power output Through verification of thefrequency disturbance test and turbine power disturbancetest the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model can meet the needsof the Kaplan turbine dynamic simulation better

5 Conclusion

Kaplan turbine model in this paper is divided into thegovernor system model the blade control system model andthe turbine and water diversion system model The detaileddual-regulated vane control system model and blade controlsystemmodel were developedThe comparison of simulationand measured results showed the reasonableness and effec-tiveness of the established model and parameters The on-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening and the influence of the blade servomotor timeconstant on the blade control systemmodel were studiedTheblade opening was transferred from the blade angle and thefifth order polynomial fitting function could characterize theon-cam relationship with amplitude limits set of the bladeopening in this study The blade servomotor time constantshould be set in a reasonable range of value but it was difficultto be tested In this study 119879

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis

the generator is 6 s while the other parameters in the systemare not modified

Assume that there is a three-phase short-circuit fault onlines 17-18 near bus 18 at 1 s and lines 17-18 are disconnectedat 11 s Figure 15 shows the simulation results

As shown in Figure 15 the terminal voltage of Kaplanturbine is rapidly reduced to around zero when a three-phase

short-circuit fault occurs Each observation returns to thesteady-state value after removing the fault line besides thereactive power with value of a little increase The terminalvoltage changes with the three kinds of the turbine regulatingsystem dynamic model (ie the Kaplan turbine and waterdiversion system model using model one model two andmodel three) are basically the same Under the initial turbine

5 Conclusion

Kaplan turbine model in this paper is divided into thegovernor system model the blade control system model andthe turbine and water diversion system model The detaileddual-regulated vane control system model and blade controlsystemmodel were developedThe comparison of simulationand measured results showed the reasonableness and effec-tiveness of the established model and parameters The on-cam relationship between the wicket gate opening and theblade opening and the influence of the blade servomotor timeconstant on the blade control systemmodel were studiedTheblade opening was transferred from the blade angle and thefifth order polynomial fitting function could characterize theon-cam relationship with amplitude limits set of the bladeopening in this study The blade servomotor time constantshould be set in a reasonable range of value but it was difficultto be tested In this study 119879

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis

119910119903was 1 s and thus the blade

servomotor response time link could be ignored Howeverit had a little effect on the simulation result and simplified themodeling and the experimental work

Progressively the linearized Kaplan turbine modelimproved ideal turbine model and nonlinear Kaplan turbinemodel are developed The nonlinear Kaplan turbine model isproposed which reflects the effects of the wicket gate openingand the blade opening changes on the turbine mechanicalpower (ie it regards the effect of blade opening on Kaplanturbine as increasing flow amount) and has a high accuracythrough the comparison of the simulation and the measuredresults The power disturbance test and the frequencydisturbance test confirmed that the established governormodel the dual-regulated vane and blade control systemmodel and the nonlinear Kaplan turbine model reflected thedynamic response of the Kaplan turbine adequately whichcould be applied in the power system analysis
