A pumped-storage hydroelectricity generally consists of two water reservoirs at different heights, connected with each other. At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the upper
View Details
A pump-back PSH plant can utilize natural inflows to the upper reservoir to produce electricity as a conventional hydropower plant but also can pump the water back to the upper reservoir for
