Promoting the construction of flexible and decentralized small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations is conducive to implementing the dual‑carbon goal and improving regional new energy consumption capacity.
In 2021, the National Energy Administration made it clear in the Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Pumped Storage (2021–2035) that the construction of small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations should be planned according to local conditions in provinces with better resources.
To support the global transition to clean electricity, funding for development of energy storage projects is required. Pumped hydro, batteries, hydrogen, and thermal storage are a few of the technologies currently in the spotlight.
The medium and small pumped storage power station can control energy storage and discharge by adjusting the difference of water level in the reservoir. Therefore, the optimized control scheme is of great significance to improve the energy storage efficiency of the power station.
Small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations have unique development advantages, and the development and construction of small and medium-sized pumped storage power stations have important practical significance for optimizing the energy structure of Zhejiang Province.
