The high proportion of renewable energy access and randomness of load side has resulted in several operational challenges for conventional power systems. Firstly, this paper proposes the concept of a flexi.
Firstly, this paper proposes the concept of a flexible energy storage power station (FESPS) on the basis of an energy-sharing concept, which offers the dual functions of power flow regulation and energy storage. Moreover, the real-time application scenarios, operation, and implementation process for the FESPS have been analyzed herein.
The energy storage output is utilized to compensate for the insufficient frequency regulation capacity of thermal power, thereby reducing their wear. The power of energy storage is constrained by the SOC to minimize the number of energy storage cycles and improve its overall life. 3. Loss model of ESCTPFR

During the three time periods of 03:00–08:00, 15:00–17:00, and 21:00–24:00, the loads are supplied by the renewable energy, and the excess renewable energy is stored in the FESPS or/and transferred to the other buses. Table 1. Energy storage power station.
Under the influence of SOC planning, the energy storage stations in Strategy 5 follow the SOC recovery sequence of “higher SOC leads to higher discharge power, while lower SOC leads to higher charging power.” As a result, the SOC of the ESS tends to shift towards 0.5.
During the period 10:00–17:00, the load is supplied by the renewable energy, and the excess renewable energy is stored in the FESPS and subsequently transferred to the other buses. During the period 20:00–22:00, the load is separately supplied by the energy storage.

Deploying pump stations between adjacent cascade hydropower plants to form a cascade energy storage system (CESS) is a promising way to accommodate large-scale renewable energy sources, yet the mechanism how renewable curtailment is converted to hydroelectricity is still unclear.
The ultimate planned capacity of wind and solar power plants in the HWSCEB are 2350 MW and 2900 MW, respectively. Three cascade hydropower stations with a total install capacity of 2478 MW have been built. Fig. 6 and Table 1 shows the basic overview of the cascade hydropower stations.
The retrofitted cascade hydropower system is called the large-scale cascade hydropower energy storage system (LCHES) in this paper. As shown in Fig. 3, the pumping station can utilize external excess electricity to pump water from downstream reservoir back to upstream reservoir, thereby recycling water potential energy. Fig. 3.
The construction of pumped storage power stations among cascade reservoirs is a feasible way to expand the flexible resources of the multi-energy complementary clean energy base. However, this way makes the hydraulic and electrical connections of the upper and lower reservoirs more complicated, which brings more uncertainty to the power generation.
The CESS is an integrated system of cascade hydropower plants and pump stations, whose main function is to consume excess energy from renewables, while satisfying water and energy demands for the public. Essentially, the CESS belongs to a kind of pumped storage power station.
This paper preliminarily evaluates the feasibility of transforming cascade hydropower stations to a large-scale cascade hydropower energy storage system (LCHES) via adding a pumping station between two adjacent upstream and downstream reservoirs.
According to the simulation results for the multi-year average representative year (2017), the maximum distance between the cascade reservoirs can be extended to over 20 km, as long as the overall efficiency of pumping station system is more than 55% (Fig. 14 (a)).
