PECULIARITIES OF OPERATION OF PUMPED STORAGE POWER PLANTS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF A COMPETITIVE MODEL OF THE ELECTRICITY MARKET

Abstract

In the field of energy, the accumulation of electrical energy can be carried out using special electrochemical, thermal and hydraulic equipment. Pumped storage installations have become most widespread due to ensuring proportionality of power and the amount of transported energy in accordance with the requirements of the power system. The features of the operation of the pumped storage power plants under the conditions of liberalization of the wholesale electricity market are considered.
