6 Frequently Asked Questions about “How to accept a pumped storage project”

How does a pumped storage project work?

Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store energy and generate electricity. Generally, when electricity demand is low (e.g., at night), excess electric generation capacity is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir.

What makes a successful pumped-storage project?

Proper site selection is the most critical component of developing a successful pumped-storage project. A “closed-loop” project that cycles water back and forth between two man-made reservoirs has a much better chance of approval than a project that uses a natural waterbody (i.e., river or lake) for one or both of the reservoirs.

What is a pumped storage project vdomdhtmlhtml?

VDOMDHTMLhtml> Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store energy and generate electricity.

What should be included in a pumped storage project?

2. C. Each Pumped Storage project should have a design change/ configuration control program. This program should ensure the design basis of the plant is controlled and maintained through procedures and processes that assure unauthorized changes are not made to equipment important to safety.

When should a pumped storage project be staffed?

The January 13, 2006 FERC letter or more current FERC guidance should be considered by the licensee when determining the staffing of a pumped storage project. Un-staffed operation should only be considered when robust fail safe systems, procedures and processes are in place to support unattended operation.

Should pumped-storage projects be remotely operated?

Since some pumped-storage projects are remotely operated it is also important to have a training program for plant personnel so they are able to operate the plant in an emergency or loss of the computer system in the event communication is lost with hydro dispatch. There should be training established for the instrumentation and monitoring program.
