| description | Pumped storage power stations (PSPSs, hereafter) have garnered significant attention due to their critical roles in peak regulation and frequency modulation, contributing to the advancement of global new energy and power systems. Site selection of power stations is the key to successful operation. In this paper, a new site selection index system and evaluation model covering hydrogeology, construction, social economy, and energy grid are proposed to meet the multi-energy complementary needs of new energy sources. The index system was constructed by the literature review and Delphi method, the subjective and objective weights were calculated by the G1 method and Gini weighting method, and the combined weights were obtained by modifying the G1 method based on the Gini coefficient. The VIKOR method was used to evaluate the pre-selected sites, determine the best scheme, and verify the stability of the results. The results of the case study show that the Centian station site in Guangdong Province is the most promising. This study provides decision support for the construction of pumped storage power plants and has important significance for the development of clean energy and new power systems. |
