Pumped Storage

Pumped storage has become increasingly important in the electricity supply industry in coping with sudden peak demands and stabilizing frequency. It has proven a particularly cost-effective way of providing electrical energy at very short notice. Design of high pressure concrete linings for the Drakensberg pumped storage scheme. P. A. A

Towards the integration of distributed renewables

The pumped storage system has to face the possibility of operating under off-design conditions to compensate for the volatility of PV and wind power in the context of distributed energy integration. However, in turbine mode, the hydraulic efficiency will be significantly reduced under off-design conditions.

PUMPED STORAGE HYDRO-ELECTRIC PROJECT

The hydrologic design basis for a pumped storage facility, as for a conventional hydro project, is mainly concerned with determining the appropriate Inflow Design Flood (IDF) and Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) for the project. Guidance on selecting the IDF and PMF can be found in Chapters 2 and 8 of the FERC''s Engineering Guidelines.
