Trial run starts for China's first multi-pumped-storage power station control center
01:39

China's first multi-pumped-storage power station control center started a trial run in Guangzhou on December 8. It will control seven pumped-storage power stations and two conventional hydropower stations, increasing efficiency by 2 to 3 times. Pumped-storage power stations are like power banks, they store excessive power when usage is low, and generate and release power when necessary. They help increase the consumption capacity of clean energy. Last year, the seven pumped-storage power stations alone were able to decrease around 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions. 

China is promoting the construction of such power stations to protect the environment, and as the number of these stations increases, a multi-pumped-storage power station control center becomes more necessary.
