What are the causes of explosions in pumped storage power stations

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 power station (PSPS)?

The pumped storage power station (PSPS) is a special power source that has flexible operation modes and multiple functions. With the rapid economic development in China, the energy demand and the peak-valley load difference of the power grid are continuing to increase.

Can the pumped storage system model be used in transition processes?

In addition to the experiments in this study, the pumped storage system model can also be employed in other experimental studies of transition processes, such as power failure in the pump mode, startup in the turbine mode, power frequency regulation, and pressure pulsation.

How does a pumped storage system work?

The pipe system of the pumped storage system model employs an annular arrangement pattern of two machines sharing the same main pipes. The section area of the downstream impedance surge tank is 0.43 m 2, and the impedance hole can be turned on or off through a valve according to the experimental requirements; the hole is normally closed.

Should Chinese power systems develop pumped storage systems?

The result shows the urgency of developing the PSPS in Chinese power systems that have given priority to thermal power, and the energy resources need the wide-range optimal allocation within the system. The development cycle of the pumped storage is long, and at least 8–10 years are needed from the planning to the completion.

Why should pumped storage units be localized?

The localization of pumped storage units can bring many direct advantages, such as reduction of the engineering cost, cheap and convenient supply of spare parts, timely after-sale service, which are capable of winning more benefits for the PSPS , .
