Summer peak energy storage station operation plan

What pumped storage power stations ushered in a new peak?

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” and “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” periods, to adapt to the rapid development of new energy and UHV power grids, pumped storage power stations such as Fengning in Hebei Province and Jixi in Anhui Province ushered in a new peak.

Why are pumped storage power stations important?

Domestic and foreign studies have shown that pumped storage power stations have more advantages in smoothing fluctuations, peak shaving and valley filling, and are an important means to improve the flexibility of the power system [, , , ].

Where should pumped storage power stations be located?

The geographical location selection for pumped storage power stations should adhere to the principle of decentralized distribution, focusing on areas near the grid load centers and regions with a high concentration of new energy sources.

How can pumped storage power stations address environmental issues?

Currently, there are also certain measures to address environmental issues that arise during the construction of pumped storage power stations. For example, the main construction wastewater can be treated using an efficient sewage purifier with the addition of chemicals.

How can pumped-storage power (PSP) stations contribute to a low-carbon economy?

Facilitate the development of PSP station systems and a low-carbon economy. Optimizing peak-shaving and valley-filling (PS-VF) operation of a pumped-storage power (PSP) station has far-reaching influences on the synergies of hydropower output, power benefit, and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission reduction.

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

Analysis of the investment composition proportion of two pumped storage power stations in the Central China region. 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.
