Abstract
Photovoltaic cells are now seen as the most promising source of renewable energy. Compared with wind power plants, photovoltaic installations have much better predictability and stability of operation. Unfortunately, their main disadvantage is the diurnal cyclicity of electricity production, which, in addition, is quite far from the graph of variability of energy demand in the power system. At the moment, the energy production of photovoltaic installations on the territory of our country is still at a relatively low level, and therefore there are no major problems with its development for the time being, as in this case a relatively moderate reduction in the power of blocks of thermal power plants around the twelfth hour of the day is sufficient. However, the rapid increase in installed capacity of photovoltaic panels, which is currently being observed, will soon make the management of surplus energy generated during peak generation a serious problem. In principle, the only known way to store very large amounts of electricity, on the order of several tens of GWh, is to use pumped storage power plants for this purpose. The article briefly discusses the existing pumped storage power plants in our country, giving the values of the parameters that characterize them. It also discusses unfinished and planned in the past investments in the construction of new pumped storage power plants. It is shown that the return to the concepts abandoned in the past for the construction of several large pumped storage power plants of the order of 1,000 MW is now a matter of priority, if only we want to think seriously about the further development of photovoltaics in Poland.
