3DE Digital Platform for Electrical Distribution Design of Pumped Storage Power Stations

Pumped storage power plants have the advantages of environmental protection, fast response, and reusability, and their role has gradually been widely recognized and rapidly developed. In recent years, the rapid development of digital technology has led to an increasing demand for virtual reality. As an emerging technology, 3DE digital platform is gradually entering people’s vision. This platform can bring people into a completely different experience by generating a realistic virtual world in real-time. This article designs the electrical distribution of pumped storage power plants through the 3DE digital platform. The testing of the hydraulic turbine model of a pumped storage power plant showed that the simulation results of the turbine terminal voltage and the generator active power showed a smaller difference in the first swing curve, which was basically consistent. Only slight differences were observed in the following few swings, indicating that the hydraulic turbine model had little impact on electrical quantities during transient analysis of the power system. At the same time, the 3DE digital platform can predict future energy demand and store electricity in pumped storage tanks to supply electricity during peak hours and improve the stability of the power grid.
