Reverse regulating pond power plant

...Most common in large-output power plants. (4) Reverse Regulating Pond Power Plants Since large-output power plants have large load adjustments, the water level of downstream rivers fluctuates greatly. Therefore, a regulating pond power plant is set up downstream to keep its power output as constant as possible, and generate electricity to keep the downstream discharge, or water level, constant. (5) Pumped-storage power plant This type has upper and lower ponds, and the water from the lower pond is pumped up to the upper pond, and this water is used to generate electricity during heavy loads during the daytime. ...

*Some of the terminology used to refer to "reverse regulation pond power plants" is listed below.

…大出力発電所に多い。(4)逆調整池式発電所　大出力発電所は負荷調整が大きいから下流河川の水位変動が大きいので，下流に調整池式発電所を設けて，その発電出力を極力一定にし，下流放水量，すなわち水位を一定に保つよう発電する方式である。(5)揚水式発電所　上下に池をもち，下池の水をポンプで上池へくみ上げておき，昼間の重負荷時にこの水を利用して発電する方式である。…
