Why is North China's Power Station a stabilizer?

"This power station acts as a stabilizer for North China's entire power grid system," Wang Zhiyuan, an electrical engineer at the station, told China Daily on Wednesday. The growing integration of new energy sources, such as wind and solar power, into the grid has introduced challenges due to the intermittent nature of wind and sunlight.

How does a water storage system work?

The system operates by pumping water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir during times of low energy demand. This process converts electricity generated by renewable sources into potential energy for storage. When high-demand periods occur, the stored water is released to generate stable electricity, Wang explained.
