Abstract
This paper analyses the contribution of non-conventional pumped-storage hydropower plant (PSHP) configurations like variable-speed pumping and hydraulic short-circuit, to reduce the scheduling cost of an isolated power system with a high pene- tration of renewable energy. For this purpose, the next-day generation scheduling of the power system of the Great Canary island is computed on a rolling horizon basis for an entire year, considering conventional and non-conventional PSHP configurations and an increasing installed wind power. Different types of start-ups of the thermal generating units and the opportunity cost of water (water value) are considered in the day-ahead generation scheduling. The water value is daily updated by using a longer-term scheduling model [1]. The results obtained show how these non-conventional pumped-storage hydropower plant configurations help not only to reduce the power system scheduling cost but also to integrate more wind energy
