The paper presents an optimization technique for scheduling of pumped-storage power plant operation up to one year horizon. A pumped-storage power plant is an energy source with fast time response consisting of upper and lower reservoir, which has ability to store excess electric energy in the upper reservoir in form of potential energy of water, …

Daily pumped-hydro storage (DPHS) is usually built for day-night energy arbitrage. This storage type is the most frequent PHS application today. The reduction in cost of batteries and the decentralization of power generation will probably reduce the importance of this type of pumped storage plant.

Pumped-storage plants provide a way for Duke Energy to store the potential energy of water. This enables us to meet our customers'' future needs by taking advantage of surplus electricity when not all of our electricity is being used. These plants are vital to Duke Energy''s ability to quickly deliver low-cost electricity in the Carolinas.

Conclusions. For low-head pumped-storage plants, both Francis and Deriaz pump-turbines fulfill the requirements for wide head range operation and power input/output regulation. In the case of a Francis pump-turbine, the additional parameter for power input regulation is the turbine variable speed regulated by a full frequency converter.

At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the upper reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, generating electricity. Reversible turbine/generator assemblies act as combined pump and turbine generator units (usually Francis turbine designs). Variable speed operation further optimizes th…

The operation of pumped hydro storage systems can have significant effects on water quality, particularly in terms of temperature, oxygen levels, and nutrient concentrations. When water is stored in reservoirs, its temperature and oxygen content can change, potentially affecting downstream ecosystems.

The Hitachi Energy solution enables the 45-year-old pumped storage plant to switch its two pump-turbine units from traditional fixed-speed to state-of-the-art variable-speed operation. Instead of constantly running at the same speed, the pump turbines adjust their speed automatically according to grid conditions and reservoir water levels.
