Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a form of clean energy storage that is ideal for electricity grid reliability and stability. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation. . The plant features 12 reversible pump-turbine units, each with a capacity of 300 MW, including two variable-speed units, bringing the total installed capacity to 3. It can offer a wide range of services to the modern-day power grid, especially assisting the large-scale integration of variable energy resources. Water is pumped to the upper reservoir in times of surplus energy and, in times of excess demand, water from the upper reservoir is released, generating. . The world's biggest pumped storage plant, the Fengning Power Station, went into full service at the end of the year, supporting 10 gigawatts of solar- and wind-powered generation in China's Hebei Province, near Beijing and Tianjin. 6-billion) storage facility. .
