The Huizhou Pumped Storage Power Station is a pumped storage hydroelectric power station near Huizhou in Guangdong province, China. It contains 8 pump-generators that total a 2,448 MW installed capacity. Initial units went online between 2007 and 2008,[1][2] and the power station was complete on June 15, 2011.[3]
The power station is supplied with water by an upper reservoir which is created by two dams. The main dam is a 56 m (184 ft) tall and 156 m (512 ft) long roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam. The second, auxiliary, dam is 14 m (46 ft) high and 133 m (436 ft) long. Once water from the upper reservoir is transferred through the power station, which is located 420 m (1,380 ft) underground, and electricity produced, it discharges to a lower reservoir.[1][4] This lower reservoir is created by a single 61 m (200 ft) tall 420 m (1,380 ft) tall RCC dam. The water can then be pumped by the generators back into the upper reservoir for reuse.[1]
