Total capacity of pumped hydro storage(PHS) in Korean power system reaches 4,700MW, though the share of it is about 4.56% of total capacity The Unit Commitment program, E-terracommit which is used for the operational purpose by KPX, includes the PHS model. But the model has a defect that it does not include the information of water level of upper reservoir. Therefore two types of improved the PHS models are represented in this paper. The first model is a optimized model by connecting the upper reservoir water level to the non-spinning reserve. The other model is to have priority allocate both the PHS and combined cycle generator for non-spinning reserve. The proposed two models and the E-terracommit model is compared and resulting to have improvement in estimating non-spinning reserve when using the proposed models.
