Abstract: The Tianhuangping pumped hydro storage plant is one of the largest globally and has been operational for over 20 years. It is in the East China region, supplying electricity to Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui. This paper is an ex-post benefit-cost analysis of the Tianhuangping pumped hydro storage project. It estimates the project's net cash flows. It uses it to evaluate the financial impact of the project from the owner's perspective. The analysis projected that the project yielded $34 million in NPV terms to the project owners. From an economic perspective, the Tianhuangping pumped hydro storage was combined with a coal plant with a capacity sufficient to provide the energy required to pump water into the upper reservoir of the Tianhuangping plant during the off-peak demand period. This pumped storage and coal plant integrated system was compared with HFO and natural gas turbines to estimate the most cost-effective option of providing peak demand power. With the social carbon cost considered, the Tianhuangping pumped hydro storage and coal integrated system was the most cost effective option. It was estimated to provide peak energy at $0.15/kWh instead of the natural gas-fired turbines and HFO-fired turbines estimated to provide peak energy at $0.16/kWh and $0.17/kWh, respectively.
ÖZ: Tianhuangping pompalı hidro depolama tesisi, dünyanın en büyüklerinden biridir ve 20 yılı aşkın süredir faaliyet göstermektedir. Doğu Çin bölgesinde, Şangay, Zhejiang, Jiangsu ve Anhui'ye elektrik sağlıyor. Bu makale, Tianhuangping pompalı hidro depolama projesinin sonradan fayda-maliyet analizidir. Projenin net nakit akışlarını tahmin eder. Sahibinin bakış açısından projenin finansal etkisini değerlendirmek için kullanır. Analiz, projenin proje sahiplerine NPV cinsinden 34 milyon dolar kazandırdığını öngörüyordu. Ekonomik açıdan, Tianhuangping pompalı hidro depolama, yoğun olmayan talep döneminde Tianhuangping tesisinin üst rezervuarına su pompalamak için gereken enerjiyi sağlamak için yeterli kapasiteye sahip bir kömür santrali ile birleştirildi. Bu pompalı depolama ve kömür santrali entegre sistemi, en yüksek talep gücü sağlamanın en uygun maliyetli seçeneğini tahmin etmek için HFO ve doğal gaz türbinleri ile karşılaştırıldı. Sosyal karbon maliyeti dikkate alındığında, Tianhuangping pompalı hidro depolama ve entegre kömür sistemi en uygun maliyetli seçenekti. En yüksek enerjiyi sırasıyla 0,16 $ / kWh ve 0,17 $ / kWh olarak tahmin edilen doğal gazla çalışan türbinler ve HFO ateşlemeli türbinler yerine 0,15 $ / kWh olarak sağlayacağı tahmin ediliyordu.
