Abstract—

In connection with plans for creating power plants using renewable energy sources, primarily solar, as well as the nature of daily electricity consumption, the issues of creating maneuverable capacities to regulate or ensure consistency between generated and consumed capacities are becoming increasingly relevant. One way to regulate capacity is the creation of pumped storage power plants (PSPPs). The article discusses the possibilities of creating a PSPP in Uzbekistan, considering the water management of its hydro resources and their dispersal. A methodology and a program for carrying out calculated assessments of PSPP efficiency in Uzbekistan are proposed and examples of calculation are given. The research results show the promise of several PSPP schemes for regulating the system’s power generating capacities, including power plants based on solar and wind energy.
