6 FAQs about [Paris Pumped Storage Power Station]
How does a pumped storage power plant work?
Pumped storage power plants purchase power at night to pump water up to the upper reservoir, they then generate power and sell it back to the grid during the day, when the demand -and price- is higher. Example 1 Power is purchased from the grid at 1ct/kWh to pump water from the lower to upper reservoir.
What is the most powerful hydropower plant in France?
With two powerhouses and a total of 12 units, Grand Maison is currently the most powerful pumped storage hydropower plant in France. It can inject up to 1,800 MW into the French electricity grid within three minutes.
How is water pumped in a storage plant?
Water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir by the Francis turbine runner. The flow path is the same as when generating electricity, except the flow direction is reversed because the Francis runner is used as a pump instead of a turbine. Pumped storage plants rely upon the varying price of electricity to make a profit.
How does a pumped storage plant make a profit?
Power is purchased from the grid at 1ct/kWh to pump water from the lower to upper reservoir. Power is sold to the grid at 2ct/kWh by allowing water to flow from the upper to lower reservoir. The pumped storage plant has generated 1ct/kWh of profit during this process because: 2ct/kWh (sale) - 1ct/kWh (purchase) = 1ctkWh (profit).
Do pumped storage plants need upper and lower reservoirs?
Irrespective geographical location, all pumped storage plants require an upper reservoir and lower reservoir. The difference in elevation between the upper and lower reservoirs is referred to as the ‘ head ’ (head of pressure) and it must be significant in order for the plant to operate efficiently.
Why do power plants use Francis turbines?
When water flows to a lower elevation, the power plant generates electricity. When water is pumped to a higher elevation, the power plant creates a store of potential energy. Pumped storage plants use Francis turbines because they can act as both a hydraulic pump and hydraulic turbine. Francis Turbine
