Abstract: Location and installed capacity of EDF SA's power plants and generation units in operation, for hydraulics. Of the more than 400 hydropower facilities operated by EDF, only power plants with a capacity greater than 100 MW are present in this dataset. The geographical scope is metropolitan France, but excluding Corsica and the Ponant Islands. Consolidated view at 31/12/2022. Detailed description: Details of power station categories: Run-of-river: These waterfalls normally operate in base mode and use whatever flow is available. Falls with reserves: Waterfalls with reserves store all or part of the inflow in their reservoirs, in order to produce at times of high demand. Depending on how long a reservoir takes to fill up, there are 2 possible scenarios: Lock & Lake. Tidal power: This involves taking advantage of the ebb and flow of the tide to alternately fill and empty a reservoir by activating turbines built into the dam. Pumped waterfalls: Pumped waterfalls are those where the water can be pumped up from a lower basin to an upper basin by means of pumps and accumulated in order to be used later to generate electricity. There are several categories: Pure pumping the aim of which is to bring up, during off-peak periods of electricity consumption, volumes of water that will be turbined during peak periods of electricity consumption. Pure PSP have no gravity feed to the upper basin. Mixed pumping the aim of which is to raise, during off-peak periods of electricity consumption, the volumes of water that will be turbined during peak periods of electricity consumption. Mixed PSP have gravity inflows to the upper basin.
