Customer ServiceBelow are some of the paper's key messages and findings. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH), 'the world’s water battery’, accounts for over 94% of installed global energy storage capacity, and retains several advantages such as lifetime cost, levels of sustainability and scale.
In literature [ 20, 21 ], a conventional hydropower station was transformed to a pumped hydro storage by installing a pumping system; the reservoir of the hydropower station and its downstream non-hydropower reservoir were used as upper and lower reservoirs respectively.
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.
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) currently accounts for over 90% of storage capacity and stored energy in grid scale applications globally. The current storage volume of PSH stations is at least 9,000 GWh, whereas batteries amount to just 7-8 GWh.
Energy storage of cascade hydropower stations achieved via a pumping station. Feasibility of the large-scale cascade hydropower energy storage system is evaluated. Excess electricity can be effectively utilized to recover water potential energy. Pumping station efficiency is critical to the economic feasibility.
The aforementioned studies are valuable investigations of transforming the hydropower reservoirs to pumped hydro storage. However, most studies still used a non-hydropower reservoir as an upper reservoir [ , , ] or lower reservoir [ 16, 20, 21] for the pumped hydro storage transformation.
