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.
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.
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.
Once in operation, the power station will serve as the basic regulation power supply, forming a clean energy base in a total installed capacity of 700,000 kilowatts together with the surrounding photovoltaic and wind power. The annual electricity generation will reach 1.8 billion kWh, cutting about 1.53 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
The solar thermal energy storage power station can generate electricity with or without direct sunlight, thanks to the heliostats and the molten salt, while achieving stable all-day power output. Two adjacent heat-absorbing towers, sharing one turbine generator, are settled in the power station.
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.
The project starts from Zixiao Avenue and ends at Renwei Road, with a total length of about 1.01 kilometers. It is constructed according to the standards of urban secondary roads, with a
