6 Frequently Asked Questions about “What departmental procedures are required for pumped storage”
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 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.
Do pumped storage projects need to be monitored 24 hours a day?
On January 13, 2006 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a letter to all licensed pumped storage projects requiring them to be staffed and monitored twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week.
What is pumped storage project (PSP)?
1. Preamble: Globally, Pumped Storage Project (PSP) is an established, proven and cost effective technology for storing electricity at times of high generation and/or Low demand which can then be released in peak demand.
Why do we need organizational processes at pumped storage projects?
Adequate organizational processes should be in place at Pumped Storage projects so that reservoir levels can be properly controlled and managed. These processes are necessary to ensure a consistent and systematic approach to quality related activities which could affect reservoir level controls/protection and thus public and dam safety.
