    The invention relates to a pumped storage system with a switchable between a pumping operation and a generator operation pump turbine, which has a plurality of flow in succession, connected to a common shaft pump turbine modules, and coupled to the shaft motor-generator machine having a frequency converter unit for speed control or regulation of the motor-generator machine is connected.
    Meeting the current challenges in energy supply requires significantly increasing the share of electricity from renewable energy sources (wind, water, solar, biomass and geothermal energy). However, this makes a growing proportion of power generation difficult to predict. Pumped storage power plants can contribute to balancing fluctuations between available and demanded electricity. In times of low electricity demand, excess energy is efficiently stored by pumping water from an underwater pool into an upper reservoir; To cover peak loads, electrical energy is gained from the potential energy of the pumped-up water. For this purpose, a reversible, can be used in both directions pumpturbine, which can be switched between a pumping operation and a turbine operation. The pump turbine is connected to a motor-generator machine, which operates as a motor or generator depending on the operating mode. Recently, great efforts have been made to develop decentralized pumped storage facilities that can be operated with existing networks. A significant advantage of decentralized pumped storage systems is the coverage of the electricity demand in close proximity to the consumer, whereby the power grids can be relieved. The requirements for the decentralized pumped storage facilities can vary considerably depending on the location; the dimensioning of the system depends in particular on the storage volume and the height of fall between the upper and lower reservoirs. In addition, decentralized pumped storage systems are often installed in remote locations. In practice, a specially adapted solution is usually developed for each site, but this is disadvantageously associated with high costs. I «·· * · * ·

    In order to be able to adapt pumped storage plants to different boundary conditions, multi-stage pump turbines have already been used, which enable an efficient utilization of the available amount of water. Such a pump turbine has a plurality of adjoining pump stages or pump turbine modules, which are coupled to a common main shaft. As a result, the application of the pumped storage system can be extended. A multistage pump turbine is known, for example, from AT 319 868, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
    The motor-generator machine is usually carried out in known pumped storage systems as an electrically excited three-phase machine (synchronous or asynchronous machine), which is connected directly to the mains. Thus, the motor-generator machine operates at the constant speed given by the design and the mains frequency. In the case of asynchronous machines, a slight speed variation is given by the load-dependent slip. Since pump turbines are designed as pumps, they do not achieve the optimum efficiency at the same speed in turbine operation. To improve the efficiency in turbine operation, speed-controlled systems have already been installed. One example of this is the pumped storage power station Goldisthal in Germany, which is operated at a drive power of approx. 300 megawatts. The machine set has a double-fed asynchronous machine, which is connected to a rotor-side frequency converter. The frequency converter allows speed control in a comparatively narrow control range around the rated speed (between about -10% and + 4% relative to the rated speed).
    The speed variability of the motor-generator machine of the pumped storage system depends primarily on the performance of the frequency converter used. However, the power electronics of frequency converters represent a significant cost factor with increasing power requirements. Thus, speed control is usually limited to a narrow range. In order to achieve greater speed variability, a specially adapted high-performance frequency converter could be used in principle, which, however, is associated with a high constructional and financial outlay. However, the costs for such power electronics are not justified, especially for smaller pumped storage systems.
    Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a compact, variably dimensionable pumped storage plant of the type mentioned, which allows low additional costs a speed control or regulation of the motor-generator machine over a wide control range.
    This object is achieved in the pumped storage system of the type mentioned by the fact that the frequency converter unit has a modular design with a plurality of parallel-connected Frequenzurarichtern.
    Due to the modular design of the frequency converter unit can be used for the frequency converter advantageously standard components, which are characterized by low cost and low complexity. The frequency converters are connected in parallel, so that the power of the individual frequency converters is added up. Thus, it is possible to dispense with the use of expensive high-performance components which are to be adapted specifically to the respective pumped storage system. The modular design of the frequency converter unit also contributes to the scalability of the pumped storage system. Depending on the respective boundary conditions, a frequency converter unit with a suitable number of parallel-connected frequency converters is provided, which enables a speed variability in the predetermined control range. As a result, the relevant parameters of the pumped storage system (storage volume, height of fall, etc.) can be specifically taken into account. Due to the speed variability of the motor-generator machine, the system can be operated at the optimum operating point in both pumping and turbine operation, thereby increasing the efficiency. Of particular advantage is the speed control when switching between pump and turbine operation, since occurring in an unregulated operation, load surges and vibrations can be significantly reduced. In turbine operation, the speed variability allows an extension of the application. In addition, a larger power can be achieved 4 with the same drop height. Furthermore, a uniform characteristic curve is obtained. In addition, a change in the storage height can be compensated efficiently. In pump mode, the speed variability of the motor-generator machine causes an improved control behavior. Accordingly, the variable speed motor-generator machine can always be operated at the appropriate operating point, which is continuously adjusted depending on the operating mode (pump or turbine operation), load {Vollo part-load operation) and given damming height. On the other hand, the multi-stage design of the pump turbine has the advantage that larger delivery or fall heights can be implemented. In addition, a compact design is made possible because the diameter of the impeller of the pump turbine can be significantly reduced compared to a single-stage design. Due to the reduced space requirement, the handling of the machine set during construction can also be simplified; Furthermore, the costs for the manufacture and assembly of the pump turbine can be reduced. The modular design of frequency converter unit and pump turbine therefore forms the basis for a production of the pumped storage plant in small series, which in particular, the establishment of smaller, decentralized pumped storage systems is economically viable.
    To adapt the motor-generator machine to a predetermined power range, it is advantageous if the motor-generator machine is composed of individual, series-connected motor-generator modules. The advantages of such a modular design are, on the one hand, a reduction in production costs through the use of standard components. In addition, the power range of the motor-generator-machine can be adjusted by adding or removing individual modules targeted to the desired power spectrum, which depends for example on the storage volume and the drop height of a particular power plant. The motor-generator machine, suitably an induction machine, can be made of a variable number of individual stator or. Rotor disks be constructed which are connected in a modular manner. To increase the variability of the pumped storage system, the pump turbine shaft may be extended to make room for additional motor-generator modules.
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is anticipated that • • • • '· * * · Μ · > > • Each drive is connected to exactly one motor-generator module of the motor-generator machine. Accordingly, each module of the motor-generator machine is assigned its own frequency converter. The individual frequency converters, as well as the modules of the motor-generator machine, expediently have a substantially identical power spectrum. The modules of the motor-generator machine are preferably given by individual winding systems of a rotating field machine, which are each connected via a separate connection with the associated frequency converters.
    Alternatively, to connect the frequency converter unit to the motor-generator machine, the frequency converters may be connected to the motor-generator machine via a common connection line. Accordingly, the modular frequency converter unit has a common output, which is connected to corresponding terminals of the motor-generator machine.
    In order to be able to control the speed of the motor / generator machine with standard frequency converters over a wide speed range, it is favorable if the frequency converter unit has a plurality of, in particular, identical frequency converters with a power of between 0.5 megawatt and 5 megawatt , The power electronics of the frequency converter has, according to the state of the art, in particular an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, bipolar transistor with insulated gate electrode) or a thyristor.
    For optimal energy conversion in turbine or pump operation, it is advantageous if the frequency converter unit for controlling or regulating the speed of the motor-generator machine in a range between substantially 0% and 110%, preferably 100%, in relation to the rated speed the pump turbine, is set up. The preferred embodiment with a substantially stepless between stall and at least the rated speed of the pump turbine controllable motor-generator machine requires a so-called "full-scale" inverter, which the complete rated power of the motor-generator machine by the Power • »· · ·« · · · · · t * · · · »» «« «··» ♦ * * * * «« * * * * * * * * «« · * * * · « * «* ··· * · | 6 electronics can supply or dissipate; For this purpose, the modular frequency inverter unit is equipped with a corresponding number of parallel-connected frequency converters. in view of the preferred use of the pumped storage plant as a decentralized power plant, it is advantageous if the motor-generator machine has a power of between 0.5 megawatts and 75 megawatts, preferably between 5 megawatts and 15 megawatts. The performance spectrum of the pumped storage plant is thus significantly lower than that of conventional pump turbines. The modular design of frequency converter unit and pump turbine, preferably also the motor-generator machine, with individual, variably connectable primitives allows efficient operation in the preferred power range of 5 megawatts to 15 megawatts, which currently due to the high machine cost and special requirements or is covered only to a small extent.
    To achieve the preferred performance with a modular motor-generator machine, it is advantageous if the motor-generator machine has between 1 and 5 motor-generator modules with a total output of up to 75 megawatts. Each motor-generator module preferably has a power of between 0.5 megawatts and 15 megawatts.
    A preferred embodiment of the pumped storage system provides as a motor-generator machine before a synchronous machine, in particular with permanent magnet excitation. For this purpose, a radial flux machine with permanent magnet rotor is expediently used, which preferably operates in a speed range around 1000 revolutions per minute. The radial flux machine is preferably designed in a modular design with individual rotor or stator discs, the number of which depends on the predetermined total power of the motor-generator machine. The rotor or stator disks can be added or removed individually to adjust the overall performance of the rotor-generator machine. For efficient operation of pumped storage systems with large drop heights and small flow rates, it is advantageous if a Francis machine is provided as a pump turbine. By taking advantage of a variable speed motor, it is possible to "9" 9 "7"
    Generator machine combined with the advantages of the multi-stage design of the pump turbine, the pump spotting plant can be operated economically at the lower edge of the high-speed (large drop heights at low flow).
    The invention will be explained below with reference to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the figures, to which, however, it should not be restricted.
    In detail, in the drawing:
    Figure 1 is a schematic view of a pumped storage power plant with an upper and an underwater basin, and with a pumped storage plant, which has a connected to a motor-generator machine multi-stage pump turbine.
    Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the construction of the pumped storage system of Figure 1, wherein the motor-generator machine is connected to a modular frequency converter unit for speed control of the motor-generator machine.
    Fig. 3a shows schematically a first embodiment for connecting the modular frequency converter unit with the motor-generator machine, - and
    Fig. 3b shows schematically another embodiment for connecting the frequency converter unit with the motor-generator machine. In Fig. 1, a pumped storage power plant 1 is shown schematically, which has an upper water basin 2 with a storage height h and an underwater basin 3, which are connected to each other via a pressure line 4 with a drop height H. The pumped storage power plant 1 is used for energy storage by water is pumped through the pressure line 4 from the underwater pool 3 in the upper water basin 2. To recover the electrical energy, water is processed by the upper tank 2 via a turbine to drive a generator. Thus, a reversible plant operation is required, which is achieved in the embodiment shown by a pumped storage plant 1 'with a pump turbine 5 8 · * ··, which is switchable between a pumping operation and a turbine operation. In the pump turbine 5 is a turbomachine, which can be flowed through in both directions and depending on the flow direction as a pump or turbine works. The pump turbine 5 thus replaces a machine set with separate pump or turbine device. The ability of the pumped storage system 1 'to selectively receive or dispense electrical energy is used to control the power grid to compensate for peak loads and consumption drops. To convert the flow energy, the pump turbine 5 is connected to a motor-generator machine 6, which operates as a motor in pumping operation and as a generator in turbine operation. As a motor-generator machine 6 is preferably a synchronous machine with permanent magnet excitation (Radialf1ussmaschine) is provided.
    FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of the pumped storage installation 1 '. The pumping turbine 5 has a plurality (in the example shown four) adjoining one another in the flow direction and operating on a common, vertically arranged shaft 7 pump stages or pump turbine modules 8. The number of pump turbine modules 8 depends on the desired power or the congestion or fall height to be overcome. For the (known per se) construction of the pump turbine 5, reference is made to the initially cited AT 319 868, which shows a preferred embodiment of the pumping turbine 5 in the manner of a Francis machine.
    Pumped storage power plants 1 have already been constructed, which have a variable-speed motor-generator machine 6 in order to take into account the different requirements in the pump mode or in the turbine mode of the pump turbine 5. For this purpose, the motor-generator machine 6 is connected to a frequency converter unit 9. The achievable speed variability is determined by the power of the frequency converter unit 9 used, which receives a corresponding proportion of the power of the motor-generator machine 6 and emits. In order to be able to control or control the speed of the motor / generator machine 6 over a comparatively large speed range, a specially adapted high-performance
    Frequency converter unit 9 are used, which has the required power spectrum. Apart from the much higher construction costs, however, complicated adaptations of the frequency converter unit 9 would have to be carried out, which would not be justified for use in smaller, decentralized pumped storage installations 1 '.
    In contrast, the frequency converter unit 9 of the embodiment shown has a modular design with a plurality of frequency converters 10 connected in parallel. The power required to achieve the speed variability is therefore divided into individual frequency converters 10, to which lower power requirements are thus imposed. The frequency converter 10 are arranged in parallel, so that the power of the individual frequency converter 10 is added up. Thus, for the frequency converter 10 inexpensive standard components can be used, which can have an output of up to about 5 megawatts, according to the current state of the art. To achieve optimum efficiency in the pump or turbine mode of the pump turbine 5, the speed of the motor-generator machine 6 is preferably adjustable between 0% and 110% of the rated speed of the pump turbine, for which the frequency converter unit 9, the total power of the motor-generator Machine 6 must apply. For a power of the motor-generator machine 6 of, for example, 10 megawatts, depending on the power class, 2 to 5 frequency converter 10 are required for this purpose.
    As is further apparent from FIG. 2, the motor-generator machine 6 is preferably constructed in modular construction from individual, motor-generator modules 11 connected in series. The modules 11 are seated on a motor shaft 12 which is connected to the shaft 7 of the pump turbine 5 via a rigid mechanical coupling 13, for example a flange coupling. The illustrated embodiment of the pumped storage system 1 'can thus be easily adapted to the conditions of the site by a corresponding number of motor-generator modules 11 is used depending on the required total power of the pump storage system 11, each having a power of preferably 5 megawatts place of purchase. 10
    A preferred embodiment for connecting the frequency converter unit 9 to the motor-generator machine 6 is shown in FIGS. 3a, 3b.
    According to the embodiment of FIG. 3a, a parallel connection of, for example, two frequency converters 10 of the same power takes place directly outside the motor-generator machine 6. The frequency converter unit 9 has a common connection line 14, which is connected to the winding system of the motor-generator machine 6 , In this embodiment, therefore, the motor-generator machine 6 may be formed by a single module 11.
    According to the embodiment of Fig. 3b, the motor-generator-machine 6 has a number of frequency converter 10 corresponding number of parallel-connected motor-generator modules 11, each motor-generator module 11 via its own line 14 ', each with a Frequency converter 10 is connected.
    For radial flow machines, a scaling of the power is possible, for example by increasing the axial rotor dimensions. The associated increase in the induced voltage at the same number of turns and speed can be compensated by switching the winding branches from serial to parallel. Each of these parallel winding branches can be connected to its own frequency converter 10.
