This paper addresses several technical considerations in the preliminary design of PSH systems, drawing on extensive design experience. Key factors such as the selection of dam sites, installed capacity, and characteristic water levels are thoroughly discussed.
Beyond its technical advantages, PSH also contributes to local employment and tourism and supports pollutant reduction efforts. Compared to other energy storage systems, PSH has a more significant environmental impact and requires a longer construction period. Thus, exploring new forms of PSH is crucial.
Although other energy storage technologies, such as electrochemical energy storage, lead–acid batteries, sodium–sulfur (NaS) batteries, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, and compressed air energy storage (CAES), have seen rapid development in recent years, PSH remains the most popular choice. Table 2 compares different types of ESS. Table 2.
Selection of Normal Water Level and Dead Level The volume between the normal water level and the dead level is called regulating storage, which includes power storage, reserve storage, margin storage, and multipurpose storage. Power storage is the part of the storage used for the power generation of the PSH.
With the proposal of the rural revitalization strategy, it is very important to strengthen rural energy construction. In view of the abundant advantages of water energy and solar energy resources
