(b) Capacity of the pumped hydro storage station was 2400 MW. From Fig. B, Fig. 7, the power stability of the transmission lines must be ensured by abandoning wind or solar power when the WFs or PVs independently operate, owing to the power fluctuation characteristics, leading to a relatively low utilisation efficiency of renewable energy.
Fig. 1. Capacity development of pumped hydro storage stations in China. In China, PHS are not fully marketable because of their imperfect power market mechanisms. Therefore, a two-part tariff, including the energy and capacity tariffs, is adopted as the benefit-recovery scheme of the PHS.
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. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
