Parameter identification and uncertainty quantification of a non‐linear pump‐turbine governing system based on the differential evolution adaptive Metropolis algorithm

Abstract Pumped storage units (PSUs) are now widely used for energy storage. However, the uncertainty of the identification results of the pump‐turbine governing system (PTGS) caused by the random observation noises and the lack of prior knowledge remains an unaddressed issue.

description Abstract Pumped storage units (PSUs) are now widely used for energy storage. However, the uncertainty of the identification results of the pump‐turbine governing system (PTGS) caused by the random observation noises and the lack of prior knowledge remains an unaddressed issue. In recent years, the differential evolution adaptive Metropolis algorithm (DREAM) based on the Bayesian theory has been extensively used for parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis, but its application to the uncertainty analysis of PTGS has been rare. This study systematically evaluates the applicability of DREAM in the parameter identification and uncertainty quantification of PTGS. A real PSU in China has been employed as a case study for numerical experiments. Four groups of control experiments with different proportions of observation noises and different prior search spaces have been constructed in this study. It can be concluded from this study that: (a) accurate point identification results and effective uncertainty quantification can be obtained simultaneously using DREAM, (b) a lower proportion of observation noises can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the DREAM algorithm when applying to PTGS simulation. The DREAM method can narrow the prior search space of PTGS parameters effectively and thus help the hydropower engineers to make decisions.
