Abstract
According to different processes of tides and peak‐valley electricity prices, this paper determines the optimal start up time in pumping station’s 24 hours operation between the rating state and adjusting blade angle state respectively based on the optimization objective function and optimization model for single‐unit pump’s 24 hours operation taking JiangDu No.4 Pumping Station for example. In the meantime, this paper proposes the following regularities between optimal start up time of pumping station and the process of tides and peak‐valley electricity prices each day within a month: (1) In the rating and adjusting blade angle state, the optimal start up time in pumping station’s 24 hours operation which depends on the tide generation at the same day varies with the process of tides. There are mainly two kinds of optimal start up time which include the time at tide generation and 12 hours after it. (2) In the rating state, the optimal start up time on each day in a month exhibits a rule of symmetry from 29 to 28 of next month in the lunar calendar. The time of tide generation usually exists in the period of peak electricity price or the valley one. The higher electricity price corresponds to the higher minimum cost of water pumping at unit, which means that the minimum cost of water pumping at unit depends on the peak‐valley electricity price at the time of tide generation on the same day. (3) In the adjusting blade angle state, the minimum cost of water pumping at unit in pumping station’s 24 hour operation depends on the process of peak‐valley electricity prices. And in the adjusting blade angle state, 4.85%∼5.37% of the minimum cost of water pumping at unit will be saved than that of in the rating state.
