The Huizhou Pumped Storage Power Plant is a pumped storage hydroelectric power station near Huizhou in Guangdong province, China. It contains 8 pump-generators that are all expected to be commercially online in 2011, totaling a 2,400 MW installed capacity. Initial units went online between 2007 and 2008.
The Huizhou Pumped Storage Power Plant is supplied with water by an upper reservoir which is created by two dams. The main dam is a 56 m (184 ft) tall and 156 m (512 ft) long roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam. The second, auxiliary, dam is 14 m (46 ft) high and 133 m (436 ft) long. Once water from the upper reservoir is transferred through the power station, which is located 420 m (1,380 ft) underground, and electricity produced, it discharges to a lower reservoir. This lower reservoir is created by a single 61 m (200 ft) tall 420 m (1,380 ft) tall RCC dam. The water can then be pumped by the generators back into the upper reservoir for reuse.Huizhou Pumped-storage Power Station | |
