The principle of a pumped storage power plant is that it does not consume electricity
A pumped storage power plant uses electricity generated from a low consumption of energy to pump water to a high tank, then pumps water to the high tank when the energy consumption reaches its maximum. An energy-efficient power plant where water is used to run hydroelectric generators to produce electricity. As we all know, electricity produced by hydroelectric plants is used as needed and cannot be stored. If electricity consumption is low, such as at night, and the factory machines are stopped to rest, the amount of electricity produced exceeds the quantity. request. Most TV channels are abandoned.
If a livestock power plant is built at this time, the excess electricity can bepumped upstream through a powerful pump to replenish the water source, and then be used to generate electricity during peak hours, i.e. the excess electricity is used. Additionally, increasing the unit's power output during peak power consumption is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Not only does it not consume much power, but it also saves energy.
Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station
Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station is the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project on the Yangtze River, also known as Three Gorges Project. The Xiling Gorge section of the Yangtze River in Yichang City, Hubei Province, China, and the Gezhouba Hydropower Station downstream form a cascading power station.
The Three Gorges hydroelectric power station is the largest hydroelectric power station inu world and the largest engineering project ever built in China. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station has more than ten functions, including shipping, power generation, planting, etc. The construction of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station was approved by the National People's Congress of China in 1992. Construction officially began in 1994. Water storage and power generation began in the post- noon of June 1, 2003 and were completed in 2009.
The equipment of the unit is mainly supplied by the VGS consortium composed of the German company Voith, the American company General Electric and the German company Siemens, and the ALSTOM consortium composed of the French company Alstom and the Swiss company ABB. . When they signed the supply agreement, they all promised to transfer the corresponding technology to Chinese automakers free of charge. The system ofThe electricity transmission and transformation of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station is built and managed by the State Grid Corporation of China.
The Three Gorges Hydropower Station Dam has a total investment of 95.46 billion yuan, and 32 hydropower units with a unit capacity of 700,000 kilowatts have been installed. The last hydropower unit of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station was put into operation on July 4, 2012. This means that the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, with an installed capacity of 22.4 million kilowatts, has become the largest hydropower station and clean energy production base in the world. July 4, 2012.
