Enshi water storage power station

What is pumped-storage power station?

The pumped- storage power station can achieve long-term storage of large-capacity power by itself. The multiple-energy- combined pumped-storage station can also improve the quantity of new energy connecting to the power grid on the premise of guaranteeing the stability and safety of the Global Energy Interconnection 240 power grid.

What is pumped storage power station (PSPS)?

The pumped storage power station (PSPS) is a special power source that has flexible operation modes and multiple functions. With the rapid economic development in China, the energy demand and the peak-valley load difference of the power grid are continuing to increase.

What is the storage capacity of Gangnan hydropower station?

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. For the application of the pumped storage unit, Gangnan hydropower station owns the ability of load regulation.

What are the advantages of pumped storage-power stations?

The power response speed of the new pumped- storage station can reach the millisecond level, which greatly enhances the safety, reliability, and comprehensive adjustment capability of original large-scale pumped storage-power stations. Both sunlight and water resources are green and clean energy.

How much power does Okawachi pumped storage power station have?

The 400- MW variable-speed unit of the Okawachi Pumped Storage Power Station in Japan can change 32 MW output power or 80 MW input power within 0.2 s . The regulation rate of Beijing Shisanling Pumped Storage Power Plant with automatic generation control (AGC) is approximately 100 MW/min.

Where are chemical energy storage power stations being built?

In 2018, a 100-MW chemical energy storage power station was constructed in the power grid to support peak and frequency modulation in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. A 60-MW chemical energy storage is being built in Guazhou, Gansu in 2019 to improve the utilization of sufficient local wind power.
