Planning a pumped storage power station

How to promote the construction of pumped storage power stations?

To promote the construction of pumped storage power stations, it is of great significance for the construction and optimization of modern power systems. 2. Development trends of pumped storage energy in China To effectively support the construction and development of pumped storage power stations, China has issued a series of supporting policies.

What is a pumped hydro storage station (PHS)?

Pumped hydro storage station: The planning of the PHS has been completed, with an installed capacity of 9100 MW. It is a daily regulation PHS. The basic parameters are shown in Table 1. Due to its large installed capacity, this PHS can serve as a peak-shaving power source to meet the daily load peak-valley difference.

What is a pumped storage power station?

Pumped storage power station is a kind of hydropower station with energy storage function. It uses surplus electricity during periods of low power demand to pump water from a lower reservoir to a higher one.

Can pumped storage power stations improve peaking capacity?

Under the background of “dual carbon”, pumped storage is ushering in unprecedented development opportunities. With the continuous increase in the scale and proportion of renewable energy in China, it is becoming more and more important to improve the peaking capacity of the power system through pumped storage power stations.

How much investment is required to build a pumped storage power station?

According to Table 6, the total investment required to construct a pumped storage power station is approximately 9 billion yuan. The static total investment of the project accounts for about 82 % of the total investment.

Do pumped storage power stations need a lot of land?

The construction of pumped storage power stations requires a large amount of land, including the construction of upper and lower reservoirs, which may change the local land use pattern and cause interference with the original ecosystem.
