TL;DR: The pumped-storage station capacity should amount to not less than 5-8% of the maximum load at the daily peak as mentioned in this paper, even with a considerable proportion of hydroelectric capacity.
Abstract: 1.
Peak-load pumped-storage stations are or should be a component of each well-developed power system, even with a considerable proportion of hydroelectric capacity.
2.
The pumped-storage station capacity should amount to not less than 5–8% of the maximum load at the daily peak.
3.
On a power system with predominantly thermal generation, the pumped-storage station is economically justified, even with specific capital investment for construction somewhat higher than the equivalent thermal power station.
4.
Since the need for constructing pumped-storage stations has been demonstrated, these stations should be considered not as a convenience for the power system but as a permanent component subject to constant development like base-load thermal power, nuclear power, or hydroelectric stations.
TL;DR: In 1965, it was predicted that a large amount of solar energy would be required in another 30-40 yr to supplement nuclear energy and the world's dwindling supply of fossil fuels as mentioned in this paper.
TL;DR: A considerable part of the results of the investigations is of importance not only for the Krasnoyarsk station, but also for several large hydropower installations under construction, in the design stage, and scheduled for future construction.
Abstract: 1.
Justification of the design and construction of the Krasnoyarsk station required a broad range of scientific investigations. Organization of the investigations and adoption of the results for improving reliability of the installations and improving the engineering economic indices of the station were possible through the close cooperation of design and construction engineers, scientists, and operational personnel.
2.
A considerable part of the results of the investigations is of importance not only for the Krasnoyarsk station, but also for several large hydropower installations under construction, in the design stage, and scheduled for future construction.
3.
Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric station, the largest in the world, embracing the experience gained in hydropower construction in the USSR, was and continues to be one of the main experimental bases of Soviet hydraulic engineering science.
