Technical FAQs 4

What is a pumped storage system?

1. The Pumped Storage System and Its Constituent Elements Pumped storage hydro is a mature energy storage method. It uses the characteristics of the gravitational potential energy of water for easy energy storage, with a large energy storage scale, fast adjustment speed, flexible operation and high efficiency .

What is pumped Energy Storage?

The PSPS is the best tool for energy storage. The pumped storage has the function of energy reserve, and it solves the problem of electricity production and consumption at the same time, and not easy to store. Thus, it can effectively regulate the dynamic balance of the power systems in electricity generation and utilization.

What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge).

How does a pumped storage power station work?

Penstock is used to connect the two reservoirs. The key components of a pumped storage power station are the hydro turbine and pump, which usually adopt the form of bladed hydraulic machinery. The mechanical energy of the water and the mechanical energy of the runner can be converted to each other.
