Although pumped storage hydropower (PSH) has been around for many years, the technology is still evolving. At present, many new PSH concepts and technologies are being proposed or actively researched. This study performs a landscape analysis to establish the current state of PSH technology and identify promising new concepts and innovations.
Overview and historical development of pumped hydro storage Pumped hydro storage is an amended concept to conventional hydropower as it cannot only extract, but also store energy. This is achieved by converting electrical to potential energy and vice versa in the form of pumping and releasing water between a lower and a higher reservoir.
Based on these challenges, technologies in the field of pumped hydro storage are reviewed and specifically analysed regarding their fitness for low-head application. This is done for pump and turbine design and configuration, electric machines and control, as well as modelling. Further aspects regarding grid integration are discussed.
Because of the small footprint and minimal civil works required for the construction of wells to house generating units, this technology may also be applicable for the development of pumped storage capabilities at existing hydropower plants, as well as for applications at non-power dams.
As the power system undergoes rapid changes, pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is an important energy storage technology that has significant capabilities to support high penetrations of variable renewable energy (VRE) resources.
