Energy storage systems (ESS) play a crucial role in addressing these issues by storing excess renewable energy (RE) during periods of low demand and releasing it during
Pumped-storage hydropower stations are known as water batteries because they allow for long-term storage of energy from nearby sources that are renewable but not as constant or predictable. By storing this energy, the power grid is less stressed, resulting in fewer blackouts. The Fengning station supports a nearby wind and solar farm.
Given its unique pumping and power generation capacity, the new mixed pumped-storage power station with an installed capacity of 1.2 million kW is expected to support new energy-based power generation and will help improve new energy consumption.
The station took more than 11 years and $2.6 billion to build, PV Magazine reported. Pumped-storage hydropower stations are known as water batteries because they allow for long-term storage of energy from nearby sources that are renewable but not as constant or predictable.
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH), at the heart of these water batteries, was first used in Italy and Switzerland in the 1890s and the United States in 1930. The system works like a giant battery, storing power when there is excess electricity in the grid and releasing it to generate power when needed.
Pumped storage hydropower could be coming to Maine. In July, Western Maine Energy Storage filed for a preliminary permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a proposed development near the Central Maine Power transmission corridor. The project would be mostly in Dixfield, with a small portion in Canton, in Oxford County.
Through the integrated development of hydropower and wind and solar energy, the Lianghekou mixed pumped-storage power station and the Lianghekou Hydropower Station are expected to turn about 7 million kW of the unstable wind and solar energy-based power into a smooth, stable, and high-quality power supply.
