Long cape gorge energy storage power station

Can pumped storage power stations be built among Cascade reservoirs?

The construction of pumped storage power stations among cascade reservoirs is a feasible way to expand the flexible resources of the multi-energy complementary clean energy base. However, this way makes the hydraulic and electrical connections of the upper and lower reservoirs more complicated, which brings more uncertainty to the power generation.

Why do we need pumped storage power stations?

Hence, construction of pumped storage power stations can effectively improve the flexibility of the clean energy base and support the depth of new energy consumption .

How many kilowatts is the Yalong power station?

With an installed capacity of one million kilowatts, the power station is the first large-type hydro-solar complementary power station in the Yalong River hydro-wind-solar complementary green, clean and renewable energy demonstration base and also the world’s largest hydro-solar energy complementary project.

What's new in large-scale energy storage?
