Does Gangnan hydropower station have load regulation?

For the application of the pumped storage unit, Gangnan hydropower station owns the ability of load regulation. Erenow, it can only generate seasonal power . Although the scale of this PSPS is small, it is designed reasonably and utilized appropriately. Its construction initiates the history of the PSPS development in China.

Should Chinese power systems develop pumped storage systems?

The result shows the urgency of developing the PSPS in Chinese power systems that have given priority to thermal power, and the energy resources need the wide-range optimal allocation within the system. The development cycle of the pumped storage is long, and at least 8–10 years are needed from the planning to the completion.

What is the storage capacity of pumped pond in Gangnan?

There is a pumped storage unit with the installed capacity of 11 MW. This PSPS uses Gangnan reservoir as the upper reservoir with the total storage capacity of 1.571×10 9 m 3, and uses the daily regulation pond in eastern Gangnan as the lower reservoir with the total storage capacity of 3.5×10 6 m 3.

Can pumped storage units be made in China?

Hence, the independence of manufacturing pumped storage units can be gradually realized in China. If the equipments are capable to be made in China, they should be used as much as possible, which can actively improve the localization of the pumped storage units.

Why are pumped storage units so expensive in China?

The main equipment of the pumped storage units in China basically is relying on imports at present, and the key technology and components are all imported. For this reason, the equipment prices stay high, the spare parts can not be supplied in time, and the localization ability of the pumped storage unit is not strong.
