The water in the Bloemfontein pipeline is diverted through the turbine (350 ℓ/s at 40 m pressure head). After passing through the turbine, the water drives the generator. The water is then discharged through a constructed opening in the roof of the hydropower plant.
The Drakensberg Pumped Storage Scheme generates electricity during peak periods in its role as a power station, but also functions as a pump station in the Tugela-Vaal Water Transfer Scheme. Water is pumped from the Thukela River, over the Drakensberg escarpment into the Wilge River, a tributary of the Vaal.
In conventional hydroelectric power stations, the potential energy of water stored in a dam or river is converted into electrical energy. Water is conveyed through waterways to hydro-turbines. The water flowing through the turbine runner spins the turbine shaft, thus driving the rotor to which it is coupled.
Water is pumped from the Thukela River, over the Drakensberg escarpment into the Wilge River, a tributary of the Vaal. The scheme was commissioned in 1982 and has a generating capability of 1 000MW. The Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme transfers water from the Palmiet River catchment into the Steenbras Dam to supplement Cape Town’s water supply.
The scheme was commissioned in 1982 and has a generating capability of 1 000MW. The Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme transfers water from the Palmiet River catchment into the Steenbras Dam to supplement Cape Town’s water supply. The power station can generate 400MW during peak demand periods and began commercial operation in 1988.
It is situated 55km from Ladysmith (20km northeast of Van Reenen’s Pass), within the Drakensberg range, on the border between the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. The 1 332MW station is fully operational, with the last of its four units going live on 30 January 2017.
