In order to better implement the National Energy Administration's Medium - and Long-term Development Plan for Pumped Storage (2021-2035) (hereinafter referred to as the Plan) and emphasize the importance of implementing the plan to ensure the realization of China's two-carbon target, on September 17, A symposium on the development of pumped storage industry co-sponsored by China Hydropower Engineering Society and the General Institute of Hydropower Planning and Design was held in Beijing.




Domestic pumped storage industry's leading experts have been invited to, from the National Energy Administration and other management department, the state grid, southern power grid, the three gorges group, such as investors, Harbin electric, Oriental motor equipment manufacturing enterprises, and other well-known representatives and related design units, focus on pumped storage industry management, investment, equipment manufacturing, design, etc. The whole industry chain, GongYi industry development. The meeting was presided over by Zheng Sheng 'an, Vice Chairman of China Hydropower Engineering Society and President of China Hydropower Planning Institute. Zhang Ye, Chairman of China Hydropower Engineering Society, delivered a speech at the meeting.




Zhang Ye in his speech pointed out that at present, the "difference" has smooth start, to vigorously implement the "double carbon" action, gradually get rid of the dependence on fossil fuels, accelerate green low carbon energy transformation, hydropower, wind power, solar power and other renewable energy will be the dominant direction of energy development in our country, renewable energy will also by energy electricity consumption increment added become the subject of incremental Play a pillar and leading role in the energy transition. Due to the randomness and intermittency of wind power, photovoltaic and other new energy sources, it is difficult to meet the actual changes of power load and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the power grid. Therefore, traditional high-quality renewable energy sources, including conventional hydropower and pumped storage, are still an important support for the construction of new power systems.


Zheng Shengan said that pumped storage is the most mature, reliable, safe and large-scale development potential energy storage technology, for maintaining the safe and stable operation of the power grid, the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body has an important supporting role. The installed capacity of pumped storage power stations has been built and is being built to 31.49 million kilowatts and 53.13 million kilowatts respectively, both of which rank first in the world, and have formed a relatively complete planning, design, construction, operation management system and technical advantages of the whole industrial chain. Under the background of China going all out to achieve "carbon peak and carbon neutral", pumped storage energy industry has a more rapid period of development opportunity.



Hydropower General Institute chief engineer Peng Caide pointed out in the keynote speech that the development of pumped storage should adhere to the ecological priority. Ecological priority should be given throughout the whole process of pumped storage development. Laws, regulations and relevant requirements on ecological environmental protection should be strictly implemented in the process of resource protection of stations, key projects of adjustment and planning, pre-project work, project construction and operation management, and coordinated development with the ecological environment.


Zhang Boting, deputy secretary general of the China Society of Hydroelectric Engineering, said in a special science report that the pumped storage transformation of conventional hydropower stations mentioned in the plan is very important. On the one hand, hybrid pumped storage has advantages in serving new energy sources. Due to weather changes, new energy generation may be short of power for a long time, and hybrid pumped storage is the most ideal way of "long-term storage". On the other hand, due to the large number of excess coal power units in China's power grid at present, the economy of new pumped storage power stations in many places may be difficult to guarantee, and the operation cost of hybrid pumped storage power stations transformed from conventional hydropower stations is usually relatively low. He stressed that special attention should be paid to the construction of Longtou reservoir power station and the energy storage transformation of conventional hydropower station in order to ensure the wind and light into the network.



To promote the implementation of the Plan, the strength of the project investors is crucial.


Lu Zhengang, deputy general manager of State Grid Xinyuan Holding Co., LTD., pointed out that since the beginning of this year, the State Grid Corporation has made a series of major deployments to accelerate the development and construction of pumped storage, and brought pumped storage into the overall layout of "one body and four wings" development. Li Dinglin, deputy general manager of China Southern Grid Peak and Frequency Modulation Power Generation Co., LTD., said that China Southern Grid Co., LTD., takes the construction of pumped storage power station as an important work matter, and the headquarters of the company will conduct overall management, formulate the action plan for the development and construction of the power station project, and clarify the working target nodes. China Yangtze river three gorges group co., LTD., deputy chief engineer li bin, according to the three gorges group will give full play to the big hydropower construction management and operation experience, in line with the attitude of responsible for the country, responsible for the long term, from the early stage of the project, financing, land expropriation, immigration, engineering construction, such as electricity production operation stages control the quality, safety, cost and time limit for a project, efforts to create the best products in pumped storage project.


At the same time, pumping storage equipment manufacturing capacity is also indispensable.



Yin Guojun Oriental motor co., LTD., vice general manager of eastern electric group, said in the face of "difference" and the future development of pumped storage industry, Oriental motor will unswervingly the path of innovation lead development with on behalf of the Chinese power generation equipment the forefront of research and development, design, implementation and service level, to create "China's best, world-class" brand of high-end equipment, products and technology. Tao Xingming, deputy general manager of Harbin Electric Machinery Factory Co., LTD., pointed out that Harbin Electric will accelerate the construction of scientific research and development and scientific research and manufacturing capacity on the basis of completing the current project, and make full preparations; We will have comprehensive and in-depth exchanges and cooperation with the owners and design institutes to provide high-performance and high-quality products for the power station, and make due contributions to the development of new energy and the realization of the "double carbon target" as a central enterprise.



In addition, the capacity and potential of pumped storage survey and design are also of great significance for the implementation of the Plan.




Chen Yongxing, deputy general manager of Power China Beijing Survey and Design Research Institute Co., LTD., said that the Beijing Institute will continue to improve the level of standardized design and three-dimensional visual design, improve the efficiency of design; Increase scientific and technological innovation and reasonably reduce the construction cycle of pumping and storage projects; Integrate resources, give full play to the strength of local provincial design institutes, and guide provincial institutes to participate in the test and design work of pumping storage.
