Ju et al. established a two-stage robust unit combination model for cascade water energy storage wind and wind, taking into account the uncertainty of new energy sources . The research on the transformation of cascade hydropower station into pumped storage system has obtained preliminary results.
However, cascade hydropower is limited by natural hydraulic and electrical constraints, and the improvement ability is limited when the power supply support of the grid is prioritized, which inevitably leads to energy curtailment.
We consider price and streamflow uncertainties and nonlinear dynamics of the systems. This study evaluates the potential benefit of retrofitting existing conventional cascade hydropower stations (CCHSs) with reversible turbines so as to operate them as pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) systems.
As the installed capacity configuration of the pumping stations increases, the total power generation of the WSHPS system increases, while the curtailment of wind and solar energy decreases. However, the energy consumption of the storage pumping stations increases, along with the need for higher construction costs for pumping stations.
