Technical FAQs 4

How do pumped storage power stations work?

As the most mature and cost-effective energy storage technology available today, pumped storage power stations utilize excess WPP to pump water from a lower reservoir (LR) to an upper reservoir (UR).

What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge).

What are pumped storage hydropower plants?

Pumped storage hydropower plants fall into two categories: Pure (or closed-loop) pumped storage: in this type of plant, naturally flowing sources of water into the upper reservoir contribute less than 5% of the volume of water that passes through the turbines annually.

What is a pumped hydroelectric storage facility?

Pumped hydroelectric storage facilities store energy in the form of water in an upper reservoir, pumped from another reservoir at a lower elevation. During periods of high electricity demand, power is generated by releasing the stored water through turbines in the same manner as a conventional hydropower station.
