Abstract: This paper studies the time-scale characteristics, model reduction, and oscillation stability of the grid-connected variable speed pumped storage unit (VSPSU). Firstly, a method based on the modal analysis and time-scale separation ratio indicator is established to analyze the time-scale characteristics of VSPSU. The results indicate that the state variables of VSPSU can be approximately separated on four-time scales. On this basis, the singular perturbation method (SPM) is applied to obtain the reduced-order model (ROM) of VSPSU under different conditions. The results show that the accuracy of ROMs can be affected by changes in operating conditions. To balance the complexity and accuracy of ROM, a model reduction strategy combining SPM and reduction margin is proposed. The results indicate that the proposed method enables the order minimization of ROM while the selected oscillation mode reaches a given accuracy condition. Finally, the feasibility of ROM for oscillation stability analysis is verified. The ROMs obtained with the proposed strategy are more accurate than those obtained with SPM for oscillation stability analysis of VSPSU. The influence of grid strength, turbine speed, and torque conditions on system oscillation stability is also revealed. This study provides new insights for model order reduction and stability analysis of VSPSU.
