Profits from construction of pumped storage in hydropower stations

How can a pumped-storage hydropower plant investment be viable?

It is necessary to calculate what is expected from a market in terms of price fluctuations to make a pumped-storage hydropower plant investment viable by estimating market value (possible annual sales on a market) by historical price data and connecting it to the annuity of costs of pumped storages.

How can pumped hydro storage cost-benefits be quantified?

Then, the regular steps of probabilistic production simulation are performed to derive the operating cost and reliability metrics of power system. Hence, the cost-benefits of pumped hydro storage can be quantitatively assessed through two single runs of simulation with and without storage facilities.

How pumped storage power stations can improve Ur and LR?

The construction of pumped storage power stations among cascade reservoirs can improve the flexible adjustment ability of the clean energy base, which also changes the water transfer and electrical connection of UR and LR at the same time.

What are the operational costs of a hydropower plant?

Operational costs, in contrast, include consumables, labour costs, overhaul and outages, cost of spare parts, grid fees plus insurance, and taxes. Pumped storage hydropower plants are often distinguished by long lead times and high capital expenditure, even though they typically have a long asset life and low operational costs.

Does pumped hydro storage reduce fuel cost and reliability?

In general, the economic benefits of pumped hydro storage can be evaluated as its contribution to fuel cost reduction and reliability improvement, which falls into the scope of probabilistic production simulation method.

Why is pumped hydro storage important?

The application of pumped hydro storage can effectively increase the ramping capability of power system, which makes it more flexible to keep track with the high volatility of the renewable energy generation [ 3 ]. Also, pumped hydro storage can supply the emergency reserve to ensure the power supply reliability.
