The existing 161,000 megawatts (MW) of pumped storage capacity supports power grid stability, reducing overall system costs and sector emissions. A bottom up analysis of energy stored in the world''s pumped storage reservoirs using IHA''s stations database estimates total storage to be up to 9,000 gigawatt hours (GWh).
However, to the best of our knowledge, few English language accounts have looked into the underlying reasons for the lack of flexible power sources in China such as pumped storage hydroelectricity. Exceptions include Zeng''s studies [18], [19], which provide overviews of the development status of PSH and related policies in China.
Pumped storage in hybrid wind-hydro power production plants has been studied applying numerical design optimization methodologies in some previous studies [97], [127]. Anagnostopoulos and Papantonis [97] presented a numerical methodology for optimum sizing of the various components of a reversible hydraulic system designed to
