What is a pumped storage power plant?

Pumped storage power plants are used to balance the frequency, voltage and power demands within the electrical grid; they are often utilized to add additional megawatt capacity to the grid during periods of high power demand. For this reason, pumped storage plants are referred to as ' peaking ' plants. Electrical Grid Power Demand Graph

Why do pumped storage plants need a higher reservoir?

Electrical Grid Power Demand Graph Because pumped storage plants can provide electrical grid operators with power 'on-demand', they have a high level of dispatchability (the ability to provide power to the grid quickly when needed). Irrespective geographical location, all pumped storage plants require an upper reservoir and lower reservoir.

How does a pumped storage plant generate electricity?

Pumped storage plants convert potential energy to electrical energy, or, electrical energy to potential energy. They achieve this by allowing water to flow from a high elevation to a lower elevation, or, by pumping water from a low elevation to a higher elevation. When water flows to a lower elevation, the power plant generates electricity.

What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a form of clean energy storage that is ideal for electricity grid reliability and stability. PSH complements wind and solar by storing the excess electricity they create and providing the backup for when the wind isn't blowing, and the sun isn't shining.

How does a pumped storage plant make a profit?

Pumped storage plants rely upon the varying price of electricity to make a profit. Many thermal power plants (coal fired, gas fired etc.) cannot increase or reduce their MW output quickly because this would place large thermal stresses on the power plant components (water tube boiler, piping etc.).
