Hamiltonian analysis of a hydro-energy generation system in the transient of sudden load increasing

This paper addresses the Hamiltonian mathematical modeling and dynamic analysis of a hydro-energy generation system in the transient of sudden load increasing. First, six dynamic transfer coefficients of the hydro-turbine for the transient of sudden load increasing are innovatively introduced into the hydro-energy generation system. Considering the elastic water-hammer model of the penstock and third-order model of the generator, we established a dynamic mathematical model of the hydro-energy generation system in the transient of sudden load increasing. Moreover, from the point of view of the transmission and dissipation of energy of the system, we propose the hydro-energy generation system into the theory frame of the generalized Hamiltonian system. A novel Hamiltonian model of the hydro-energy generation system is established utilizing the method of orthogonal decomposition. Finally, based on the data of a real hydropower plant, numerical simulations and physical experiment are carried out, and the results indicates that the Hamiltonian system can reflect the essence of the nonlinearity of the hydro-energy generation system in the transient of sudden load increasing. More importantly, these methods and results will supply theoretical basis for designing and running a hydropower plant.
