Large pumped storage hydroelectric power plant feasibility study

Zadatak ovog diplomskog rada bio je napraviti jednostavni proračun opravdanosti izgradnje reverzibilne hidroelektrane velike snage. Rad se sastoji od teorijskog i praktičnog dijela. U teorijskom dijelu opisana su svojstva i karakteristike obnovljivih izvora energije, princip rada reverziblnih elektrana, pregled postojećih RHE postrojenja na području jugoistočne Europe i potrebni ulazni podaci za proračun niveliranih troškova proizvodnje električne energije (LCOE). U praktičnom dijelu zadatka napravljen je proračun prema ulaznim podacima za RHE RITEH iz kojeg se vidi da investicija nije isplativa.The aim of this thesis was to make a simple calculation of the justification for the construction of a high-power reversible hydropower plant. The paper consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the properties and characteristics of renewable energy sources, the principle of operation of reversible power plants, an overview of existing RHE plants in South East Europe and the necessary input data for the calculation of the leveled costs of electricity generation (LCOE). In the practical part of the task, a budget was made according to the input data for RHE RITEH, which shows that the investment is not profitable
