Assessment of pumped hydropower energy storage potential along rivers and shorelines

Techno-economic analysis of off-grid PV-Diesel power generation system for rural electrification: A case study of Chilubi district in Zambia

“…The assessment of potential is done for rivers and shores in Ref. [28]. The latter is one important aspect.…”

“…The components needed are pump(s), at least two reservoirs, penstock, turbine/generator arrangement and piping materials [26,27]. Energy storage using pumped hydro is mature and an established technology with utility-scale application [26][27][28]. However, it is characterized by high capital costs with low profitability, which is a barrier to its development in certain cases for utility-scale [29].…”

Implementation of pumped hydro/photovoltaic systems in mining-degraded areas: a case study in Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…When there is a greater demand for electricity, the water stored in the upper reservoir is released back to the lower reservoir, passing through the turbines. As the water flows, it drives turbines, generating electricity that can be delivered to the electrical grid (Görtz et al, 2022). This cycle of energy storage and generation can be repeated as much as needed, making PSH an efficient way to store and supply energy at times of high demand or to compensate for fluctuations in intermittent renewable energy generation, such as wind and solar energy (Canales et al, 2015).…”

These methods often do not consider the full range of factors that are important in site selection, such as technical, economic, social and environmental factors.…”
