Since doubly-fed induction machine pumped storage hydro (DFIM-PSH) unit can adjust active power flexibly through adjustable-speed operation, it has frequency regulation capability in both generating and pumping modes. In order to explore the frequency regulation capability of DFIM-PSH unit under different working conditions, this paper develops a frequency control module for DFIM-PSH unit in pumping mode, which is quite different from that in generating mode, and then optimizes the frequency control parameters aimed at minimizing the frequency deviation in multiple operating conditions. Based on the dynamic model of the DFIM-PSH unit, the system frequency response model is built to analyze the influence of parameters on frequency dynamic characteristics. An optimization method of frequency control parameters is developed based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to maximize its frequency regulation capability under different operating conditions while ensuring safe and stable operation. Finally, a four-machine two-zone power system model with a DFIM-PSH unit is simulated, and the simulation results show that the proposed strategy can make the DFIM-PSH unit have great frequency regulation performance in a wide range of operating conditions.INDEX TERMS Doubly-fed induction machine, pumped storage hydro unit, different working conditions, frequency regulation, system frequency response model, frequency control parameter optimization.
