The State Grid Corp. of China says it has accomplished pumped-hydro storage tasks consisting of 4 reversible pump-turbine generator items, every with a capability of 350 MW. It is positioned close to Xiamen, within the Fujian province of China.
Fujian Xiamen Pumped Storage Co., a unit of State Grid Corp. of China, commissioned the fourth and last part of the Fujian Xiamen Pumped Storage Power Station, marking the complete commissioning of the challenge. The facility is positioned close to the villages of Wangqian and Wufeng, close to Xiamen, Fujian province.
The first three items had been efficiently commissioned between October 2023 and March 2024. With all 4 items now on-line, the development of the Xiamen Pumped Storage Power Station is formally full and has an put in capability of 1.4 GW.
The development of the challenge began in November 2019 and requires a complete funding of CNY 8.664 billion ($1.19 billion). It includes the set up of 4 reversible pump-turbine generator items, every with a capability of 350 MW. The station is related to the Fujian energy grid by way of two 500 kV transmission strains.
The Xiamen Pumped Storage Power Station will pump water right into a excessive altitude reservoir throughout valley intervals and generate electrical energy throughout peak intervals, successfully balancing peak and valley demand on the grid. The facility is designed to soak up 3.127 TWh of valley electrical energy per yr and supply 2.345 TWh of peak electrical energy.
East China Survey and Design Institute designed the plant and China Hydropower Engineering Corp. serves as an engineering contractor.
The Xiamen Pumped Storage Power Station will regulate the Fujian energy grid every single day by managing peak shaving, valley filling, frequency regulation, section modulation, and emergency standby. This will scale back peak regulation strain and enhance the province’s capability to combine extra renewable vitality.
Fujian province, positioned on the southeast coast of China, boasts favorable geographical situations, characterised by mountainous terrain and plentiful rainfall, making it a perfect location for the event of pumped storage. Since 2015, builders have constructed or began constructing greater than 10 gigawatt-scale pumped storage energy stations in Fujian, which is able to enormously contribute to inexperienced vitality growth and energy system stability.
