China southern power grid peak-shaving and frequency-regulating power generation and energy storage

What is China Southern power grid (CSG) installed capacity of pumped-storage power plant?

Expected to 2020, China Southern Power Grid (CSG) installed capacity of pumped-storage power plant (PSPP) will reach 7,880 MW. This paper summarises the operation situation and describes the main f...

Does es capacity enhance peak shaving and frequency regulation capacity?

However, the demand for ES capacity to enhance the peak shaving and frequency regulation capability of power systems with high penetration of RE has not been clarified at present. In this context, this study provides an approach to analyzing the ES demand capacity for peak shaving and frequency regulation.

What is the role of PSPP in China's power system?

The PSPP would play the roles of peak-valley load regulation, frequency control, phase shifting, emergency reserve, and black start-up in the power system of southern China. In CSG, the constructed capacity of PSPP is 4,800 MW including Guangzhou PSPP and Huizhou PSPP, all in Guangdong province, China.

What is the multi-timescale regulation capability of a power system?

The multi-timescale regulation capability of the power system (peak and frequency regulation, etc.) is supported by flexible resources, whose capacity requirements depend on renewable energy sources and load power uncertainty characteristics.

What is the efficiency of PSPP in China?

At present, the comprehensive efficiency of the PSPP is about 75% (the ratio of power generated to power consumed) in China, which is also called ‘consuming 4 degrees to produce 3 degrees’. (iii) The PSPP is the best tool for energy storage.

What is the power and capacity of Es peaking demand?

Taking the 49.5% RE penetration system as an example, the power and capacity of the ES peaking demand at a 90% confidence level are 1358 MW and 4122 MWh, respectively, while the power and capacity of the ES frequency regulation demand are 478 MW and 47 MWh, respectively.
