How many hydropower plants are there in the Czech Republic?
In the Czech Republic, Turkey, Romania and Poland, CEZ has 46 hydropower plants with a total installed capacity of 2,274 MW. All of the large hydroelectric power stations, except the Dalešice, Mohelno and Dlouhé Stráně hydroelectric power stations, are situated at the Vltava River where they form a cascade system called the Vltava Cascade.
Why do we need pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations?
Moreover, pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations also enable purposeful use of electricity being produced by a less flexible energy resources in the low consumption periods.
Which hydroelectric power stations are located at the Vltava river?
All of the large hydroelectric power stations, except the Dalešice, Mohelno and Dlouhé Stráně hydroelectric power stations, are situated at the Vltava River where they form a cascade system called the Vltava Cascade. Capacity of these power stations represents more than 17 % of the total installed capacity of CEZ, a. s.
How is the storage reservoir connected to the underground power station?
The elevated storage reservoir is connected with the underground power station by two penstocks, 1,547 m and 1,499 m long, each feeding one turbine set. Two discharge tunnels, 5.2 m in diameter, connect the station with the lower reservoir. The tunnels are 354 m and 390 m long. The lower reservoir is on the Divoká Desná River.
Which renewable sources are operated by CEZ Group?
Hydroelectric power plants are the most important of the renewable sources operated by CEZ Group. In the Czech Republic, Turkey, Romania and Poland, CEZ has 46 hydropower plants with a total installed capacity of 2,274 MW.
What is a compensatory power station?
The compensatory operation facilitates the voltage regulation within the power system. Construction on the power station began in May 1978. But in the early 1980’s, the central bodies decided to hold up the project. In 1985, the design was modernized, and after 1989, it was decided to complete the project.
