Abstract
During the daily operation of PHESPS, the RPT will encounter the start-up transient process of pumping mode inevitably and frequently for the storage of surplus power in the grid and the synchronization of renewable energies, during which the flow-induced pressure fluctuation is an important factor to ensure the security and stability of the RPT and PHESPS. If the pressure fluctuation is excessive, it will result in the failure of start-up process and even have an impact on the lifespan of the RPT. In this chapter, the generation mechanisms and propagation characteristics of pressure fluctuations during this transient process will be investigated through analyzing the pressure fluctuation signals obtained at several typical monitoring points through the on-site experiment. The analysis results of this chapter can provide effective operational guidance for the other newly built PHESPSs to improve the stability and security of the RPTs. In addition, the presented transient pressure fluctuation signals can also be adopted for calibration and comparison of numerical calculation.
