Retrofitting adjacent hydropower plants with pumping stations to construct hybrid pumped storage hydropower (HPSH) plants is an important attempt to promote hydropower flexibility and renewable energy consumption. However, the operation mode and optimal configuration for HPSH and photovoltaic (PV) power plants remain unclear.
For HPSH formed by retrofitting large cascade hydropower plants, the seasonal energy storage characteristics of pumping stations should be considered to improve the long-term regulation capability; (2) adding a pumping station increases the optimal size and net present value of PV plants.
Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants (PSHPs) are one of the most extended energy storage systems at worldwide level [6 ], with an installed power capacity of 153 GW [ 7 ]. The goal of this type of storage system is basically increasing the amount of energy in the form of water reserve [ 8].
Among them, there are several combination forms between hydropower and pumped storage. For example, Jurasz et al. combined run-off-river power plant with pondage and pumping installation and studied their scheduling with solar and wind power, but the system has been limited to small-scale use.
