As the most mature and cost-effective energy storage technology available today, pumped storage power stations utilize excess WPP to pump water from a lower reservoir (LR) to an upper reservoir (UR).
Hence, to support the high-quality power supply, this research explores the complementary characteristics of the clean energy base building different types of pumped storage power stations, and recognizes the efficient operation intervals of the giant cascade reservoir.
This study concludes that pumped storage is the most suitable technology for small autonomous island grids and massive energy storage, where the energy efficiency of pumped storage varies in practice. Around the world, the size of the pumped-storage plant mostly lies in the range of a small size to 3060 MW.
The construction of pumped storage power stations among cascade reservoirs is a feasible way to expand the flexible resources of the multi-energy complementary clean energy base. However, this way makes the hydraulic and electrical connections of the upper and lower reservoirs more complicated, which brings more uncertainty to the power generation.
This is primarily due to the pumping and storage effect of the pumping station, which pumps water from H2 to H1 for storage, resulting in a significant increase in the monthly water consumption for generation in H1 (as shown in Fig. 10 (b)).
