Free QuotePumped storage power plants (PSPP), as an important clean energy technology, have great potential for energy storage and conditioning. However, site selection is the primary issue in PSPP construction, which directly affects its economics, environmental impact and social acceptability.
Through sensitivity analysis, we find that although each option changes with the change of indicator weights, P2 is always the best option for pumped storage site selection, and the ranking results of all options remain unchanged, so the evaluation decision method used in this study has good feasibility and scientific validity. 5.4.
Today in the U.S., three new PS projects totaling 1.8GWs have received their Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license and all of the other permits needed and yet construction has not started. In addition, FERC reports that 44 GW of pump storage development are in the Preliminary Permit process.
Pumped storage is a technology for renewable energy generation that provides large-scale energy storage capacity to balance the difference between load demand and supply in power systems by harnessing the gravitational potential energy of water for energy storage and power generation .
However, to fully exploit the potential of pumped storage, the siting process is a necessary part of ensuring the feasibility and sustainability of projects when building a pumped storage power plant (PSPP) . Scientific and objective siting of PSPP is crucial for their successful construction and operation.
In fact, as demonstrated in DOE's Hydrovision Report, there is potential for 50GWs of new pumped storage in the United States by 2050. Globally, PSH provides 160 GW of the approximately 167 GWs of energy storage in operation.
