China is a global leader in developing renewable energy, and the Kela photovoltaic (PV) power station is adding to the country's energy mix as the world's largest hybrid solar-hydropower plant. The Kela station idea was formed by the Design and Research Institute of Power China Chengdu in 2016.
Hybrid pumped storage hydropower station adopts the scheduling principle of 'pumping at low electricity prices, generating at high electricity prices, with pumping and power generation are carried out at a staggered time'.
The integration of the pumping station between conventional cascade hydropower stations to form the hybrid pumped storage has the potential to increase the hydropower's flexibility and promote the consumption of renewable energy into the power grid.
Another important step in promoting hybrid power plants is the standardization of processes. There are several business models for marketing electricity from hybrid power plants, such as feed-in tariffs, direct marketing, energy arbitrage and the provision of operating reserves and grid stability services.
Most of the current research on the operation of multi-energy hybrid systems associated with hydropower focuses on conventional hydropower plants or pure pumped storage stations to compensate for the output of renewable energy .
Compared with conventional hydropower-wind-photovoltaic (CHP-wind-PV for short hereafter) system, the pumping station can use the excess electricity from hydropower, wind power and PV plants or purchased from the power grid to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, thus achieving energy storage and efficient energy utilization.
