据日本《东芝评论》1985年第4期报导,东芝公司向澳大利亚昆士兰州电力厅韦邦荷抽水蓄能水电站交付的2台世界最大容量直联式抽水蓄能机组,分别于1984年6月和8月投入运行,因当地的电力系统没有足够大的必需容量,为了在改变抽水状况时,尽可能减小水泵输入功率对系统的影响,故采用直联式机组。 According to Japan’s Toshiba Review, Issue 4, 1985, two world-largest capacity direct-coupled pumped storage units delivered by Toshiba to the Weibanghe Pumped Storage Power Station in the Queensland State Department of Power were reported in June and August 1984 respectively Put into operation, because the local power system is not large enough necessary capacity, in order to change the pumping conditions, as much as possible to reduce the pump input power on the system, so the use of direct-coupled unit.
