6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Pumped Energy Storage Project Design Qualification”
What is the hydrologic design basis for a pumped storage facility?
The hydrologic design basis for a pumped storage facility, as for a conventional hydro project, is mainly concerned with determining the appropriate Inflow Design Flood (IDF) and Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) for the project. Guidance on selecting the IDF and PMF can be found in Chapters 2 and 8 of the FERC's Engineering Guidelines. 1. A. 1.
What is the design basis for a pumped storage hydro-electric project?
The design basis for a pumped storage hydro-electric project must consider many factors to ensure safe and reliable operation of the project. The design basis can accommodate many different designs and still meet the desired outcomes.
What should be included in a pumped storage project?
2. C. Each Pumped Storage project should have a design change/ configuration control program. This program should ensure the design basis of the plant is controlled and maintained through procedures and processes that assure unauthorized changes are not made to equipment important to safety.
When should a pumped storage project be staffed?
The January 13, 2006 FERC letter or more current FERC guidance should be considered by the licensee when determining the staffing of a pumped storage project. Un-staffed operation should only be considered when robust fail safe systems, procedures and processes are in place to support unattended operation.
What makes a pumped storage project unique?
Every Pumped Storage project has very unique design features that may make some of the items discussed in this document unnecessary or less beneficial. Each item mentioned in this document is intended to challenge the owner to question and evaluate the need and benefit to their particular project.
What is pumped storage hydro?
