Therefore, on the basis of conventional small hydropower, the transformation into a small pumped storage power station or joint operation with pumped storage can reduce the cost, shorten the construction period, solve the problem of site selection, improve the power station output in the dry season, and increase the economic benefits.
A diagram of the TVA pumped storage facility at Raccoon Mountain Pumped-Storage Plant in Tennessee, United States Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing.
In addition, the installation of power station units such as pump turbine, generator motor, inlet ball valve and auxiliary equipment is the core project of the entire installation project, which has a very important role and significance for the construction quality of the entire pumped storage power station.
In 2021, the National Energy Administration made it clear in the Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Pumped Storage (2021–2035) that the construction of small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations should be planned according to local conditions in provinces with better resources.
The existing literature shows that pumped storage power stations can maximize the power balance of regional power grid, ensure the safe and stable operation of regional power grid, and realize the economic optimization of power grid operation through reasonable modeling and new energy distribution schemes.
Small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations have unique development advantages, and the development and construction of small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations have important practical significance for optimizing the energy structure of Zhejiang Province.
