Abstract: Hydropower has grown to play an important role in power systems including increasing clean and low-carbon energies, and the effect of electric loads should be basically evaluated for the reliable operation of these systems. For the hydraulic–mechanical–electrical system of the hydropower station, the state equation model for stability evaluation was derived with typical electric load models and elastic models for pipe flow, and after experimental confirmation with a built single-unit setup for a system, the effects of different electrical loads and pipe flow models on typical hydropower systems stability were investigated in detail. The results indicate that for the built single-unit system with different load characteristics, the numerical results were basically consistent with experimental research, and the unit’s regulation performance for the dynamic load was superior to that of the static load. Evident differences existed in the effects of different electric loads on the operational stability, mainly depending on the pipe length and the corresponding models, and an optimum-order elastic model of pipe flow was preferred to reveal the dynamic interactions between different systems. Furthermore, for a typical two-unit system, the potential coupling resonance hydraulic–mechanical–electrical system is pointed out with the preferred-order elastic model of pipe flow.
