Description
Summary:This paper focuses on the stability problems in a hydropower station. To enable this study, we consider a nonlinear hydropower generation system for the load rejection transient process based on an existing hydropower station. Herein we identify four critical variables of the generation system. Then, we carry out the dynamic safety assessment based on the Fisher discriminant method. The dynamic safety level of the system is determined, and the evolution behavior in the transient process is also performed. The result demonstrates that the hydropower generation system in this study case can operate safely, which is in a good agreement with the corresponding theory and actual engineering. Thus, the framework of dynamic safety assessment aiming at transient processes will not only provide the guidance for safe operation, but also supply the design standard for hydropower stations.
