Pumped storage power plants pump water from the upper reservoir when the electrical load is low, then release water from the lower reservoir to produce electricity when the electrical load reaches its maximum. Also known as a hydroelectric energy storage plant. It can convert excess electrical energy into high-value electrical energy during the grid peak period when the grid load is low. It is also suitable for frequency and phase modulation to stabilize the frequency and voltage of the power system. and can also improve the efficiency of the thermal power plant and power supply of the system. Although the construction of pumped storage power plants in China started late, due to the effect of latecomers, the starting point is relatively high, and the technology of several large power plants of pompage-turbinage which have been built has reached the world advanced level.
