4 FAQs about Hydropower Bureau No 4 Pumped Storage Project

How does a pumped storage hydropower plant work?

Image from IKM 3D. Pumped storage hydropower facilities rely on two reservoirs at different elevations to store and generate energy. When other power plants generate more electricity than the grid needs, a PSH plant can use that power to pump water into the upper reservoir.

How does a pumped storage project work?

Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store energy and generate electricity. Generally, when electricity demand is low (e.g., at night), excess electric generation capacity is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir.

Are pumped storage hydropower projects open-loop?

In contrast to all existing pumped storage hydropower projects in the US that are open-loop and located on natural water bodies, this review finds that over 80% of proposed projects are closed-loop designs, due to their siting flexibility away from natural water bodies and purportedly lower social and environmental impacts.

What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a proven energy storage technology. Its earliest U.S. operations date back to the 1929 commissioning of the Rocky River PSH project in Connecticut .
