Can pumped storage power stations be built among Cascade reservoirs?

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.

What is a cascade hydropower energy storage system (LCHES)?

To address the grid connection challenges derived from the high penetration of intermittent new energy sources, some generation companies are trying to use existing cascade hydropower stations to develop “large-scale cascade hydropower energy storage systems” (LCHES).

What is high voltage cascaded energy storage power conversion system?

High voltage cascaded energy storage power conversion system, as the fusion of the traditional cascade converter topology and the energy storage application, is an excellent technical route for large capacity high voltage energy storage system, but it also faces many new problems.

How can a cascade hydropower station be reconstructed?

It can be reconstructed based on the existing dam and powerhouse within cascade hydropower stations so that the cost is lower than the traditional pumping and storage station. In some studies, it is called the “large-scale cascade hydropower energy storage system” (LCHES) or “hydroattery” .

What is a cascade hydropower plant & pump station?

The CESS is an integrated system of cascade hydropower plants and pump stations, whose main function is to consume excess energy from renewables, while satisfying water and energy demands for the public. Essentially, the CESS belongs to a kind of pumped storage power station.

What is the eficiency of a cascade hydropower system?

The eficiency is defined as a ratio of reduced renewable energy curtailment to increased hydropower pro-duction, and it is calculated based on two scenarios (i.e., optimal oper-ations of the cascade hydropower system and CESS). A case study using China’s Longyangxia-Laxiwa CESS was conducted.
