Kyiv Pumped Storage Power Plant
The Kyiv Pumped Storage Power Plant (PSPP) (Ukrainian: Ки́ївська гідроакумулювальна електростанція (ГАЕС)) is a pumped-storage power station on the west bank of the Kyiv Reservoir in Vyshhorod, Ukraine. The Kyiv Reservoir serves as the lower reservoir and the upper reservoir is located 70 m (230 ft) above the lower. Water sent from the upper reservoir generates electricity with three 33.3 megawatts (44,700 hp) conventional hydroelectric generators and three 45 megawatts (60,000 hp) reversible pump generators. During periods of low demand, such as nighttime, the pump generators push water from the lower reservoir to the upper for use during peak hours. The first generator was commissioned in 1970, and the last in 1972.
The building of the pumped-storage power plant is connected with the upper basin by 6-pressure reinforced concrete and metal pipelines with a diameter of 3.8 m.
The upper basin was created at a height of 70 m above the level of the Kyiv reservoir with a useful volume - 3700000 cubic meters, where during the night decrease in energy consumption in the power system water is pumped. The upper reservoir is discharged in the evening hours at the time of the highest power consumption in the power system. Surface area - 0.67 sq. km, length - 1.45 km. Response depth - 6,7 m. The reservoir on the Dnieper River serves as the lower reservoir of the pumped storage power plant.
The main facilities of the pumped-storage power plant include the upper pumped-storage basin, the power plant building and the installation site. Six vertical hydroelectric units are installed in the building of the pumped-storage power plant. Three 41,5 MW units with radial axial turbines and three with pump turbines with 37 MW each in generator mode and 43 MW in pump mode.
The installed capacity of the hydroelectric power plant is 235.5 MW, and 135 MW is in pumping mode. Operating in pumping mode, the power plant fills the upper basin in 6 hours.
Stage I
At the initial stage of operation of the pump-turbine units, complications arose due to the significant vibration of the guide vanes. Vibration in different points of the hydro unit even with the optimal opening of the guide apparatus reached above the permitted.
Vibration studies of the main pump-turbine hydroelectric units of Kyiv HPP revealed the need to reconstruct the hydro-turbine equipment.
