Abstract

During the next decades, the electricity generation
sector will know significant changes. This is mainly due to the increase in
demand, with the limitation of traditional resources such as fossil fuels and
the development of renewable energy particularly the proliferation of wind
farms. Hydroelectric pumped-storage power plants, which store large amounts of
energy and quickly compensate the power fluctuations, will then play a key
role. It is therefore essential to find ways to fully optimize the performance
of this type of plant. The main objective of this work is to study and choose
the right place according to different criteria, topographical, geographical in
order to install a pumped hydro station we try to size. All this is in order to
ensure network stability. Such a study requires two main pumped hydro stations,
namely the theoretical development and case study part. With the arming out of
the three wind farms developed by Nareva holding, a major leader company in the
domains of the energy and the environment, Akhfennir and Foum El Oued in the
South of Morocco, and Haouma in the north of the country near to Tangier, these
three parks, of a total capacity of 203 MW. Storing the surplus of the wind
produced energy became a priority, hence we led a detailed study on six sites
on various region of Morocco to install a hydraulic pumping station of a power
of 50MW.The pumped hydro station of Abdelmoumen is situated in the upstream of
the restraint of the dam Abdelmoumen on the Wadi Issen in approximately 70 kilometres
in the Northeast of the city of Agadir. The study of the sizing of the pumped
hydro station of Abdelmoumen led to us to the conception of a station of 50MW
of power for a height difference of 800m separating both upper and lower
reservoirs whose volumes are respectively 2 610 000 m3 and 749 700 m3.
We conceived a Pelton turbine with a debit of turbinage of 8 m3/s, a
pump spin-dries radial road of 2,4 m3 /s and penstock of 6 691m of
1m of diameter.
