Energy storage power station electricity access price

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.

Should two-part electricity price be implemented in the PSPS?

In 2014, the NDRC formulated the notice about perfecting the pricing mechanism of the PSPS to speed up its exploitation . This notice confirmed that two-part electricity price should be implemented in the PSPS before the power market in China formed.

What is a PSPS hydropower station?

1. Introduction The PSPS is a special hydropower station, which can use the electricity to pump water up to the upper reservoir when the energy demand is low, and release the water back down to the lower reservoir to generate electricity when the energy demand is high.

Is a PSPS a good energy storage system?

Compared with them, the PSPS investment is lower, the service life is longer, and the efficiency of energy conversion is more stable. As a result, the PSPS is currently the most mature and practical way for large-scale energy storage in the power system. The PSPS is the optimal tool for load regulation.

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.
