Party Building of Suofengying Power Plant

How was the power plant ruins preserved?

The main concrete frame structure of the power plant ruins, including the foundations, beams, and columns, and the brick walls on the north and south sides, was preserved to the greatest extent possible in the renovation. Due to age and disrepair, the building had become dangerous and it was necessary to reinforce all the retained parts.

How tall is the Hall of the power plant?

The hall of the power plant reaches a maximum height of 17 meters. In order to create a spatial atmosphere appropriate to this scale, as well as to increase the amount of light and enhance the permeability of the interior and exterior views, a 9-meter diameter glass moon gate was installed between the hall and the backyard.

Can a pumping station use excess electricity to recycle water potential energy?

The pumping station can utilize excess electricity to recycle water potential energy between the two linked reservoirs. Taking cascade hydropower stations of a large hydro-wind-solar clean energy base (HWSCEB) in China as the case study, a simulation model is developed to simulate annual operation of LCHES at hourly resolution.

Can a pumping station provide energy storage for Cascade hydropower stations?

Energy storage of cascade hydropower stations achieved via a pumping station. Feasibility of the large-scale cascade hydropower energy storage system is evaluated. Excess electricity can be effectively utilized to recover water potential energy. Pumping station efficiency is critical to the economic feasibility.
