Abstract

Abstract The head variation is a key index of pumped storage power station, which is related to the operation stability of pump-turbine. The greater the head variation, the more difficult it is to ensure the operation stability of the unit. In this paper, the pressure pulsation of the pump-turbine with a large head variation is measured, and its amplitude and frequency characteristics are analysed. The prototype results are compared with the model test results. Similarities and differences of the pressure pulsation characteristics between the prototype and model are obtained. At the same time, the vibration characteristics of the prototype unit is measured, and the correlation analysis of the pressure fluctuation characteristics and the head variation is made. Then, the stability characteristics of pump turbines in the pumped storage power station are obtained. It guides the operation of the power station.
