IntroductionElectrical energy can be stored during times that electrical generation from power plants exceeds the consumption by customers and the stored energy can then be utilized at times when consumption of electricity exceeds generation of electricity.

Main Goal of Pumped Hydro Storage
Bulk energy storage helps avoiding the sharp spikes in power generation thus making the power plant operation more efficient.
Reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions[2].
Peak shaving by pumping during low fuel-cost periods and generating during high fuel-cost periods.
Provides reliable spinning and non-spinning reserve capacity.

Types of PHS Power Plants
There are two main types of PHS facilities; Pure or off-stream PHS: which relies entirely on water that was previously pumped into an upper reservoir as the source of energy
Combined or pump-back PHS: uses both pumped water and natural stream flow water to generate power

How PHS Power Plants Work
![Page 8: Pumped Hydro Storage-Pres](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061114/546064acb1af9f16598b5307/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How PHS Power Plants Work
The relatively low energy density of pumped storage systems
{requires either a very large body of water or a large variation in height. For example, 1000 kg of water (1cubic meter) at the top of a 100m tower has a potential energy of about 0.272 kWh, enough to its raise temp. by 0.42 deg. Fahrenheit}

How PHS Power Plants Work
Pumped Hydro Storage Plant(PHSP) consists of:
Two water reservoirs at different heights
Hydroelectric power generator at the level of the lower reservoir.
Process:
Water can be pumped from the lower to the upper reservoir
Plant operator has to buy electricity.
The PSHP generates electricity by discharging the water and driving the generator.

PHS Plant Technologies
A full-storage strategy, or load shifting, shifts the entire on-peak heating or cooling load to off-peak hours.
Operates at full capacity during all non-peak hours to charge storage on design days.
Strategy best where on-peak demand costs are high or short on-peak period.
![Page 11: Pumped Hydro Storage-Pres](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061114/546064acb1af9f16598b5307/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PHS Plant Technologies
Partial-storage approach, the peak period cooling load is met by both:
Mechanical equipment
Pumped storage
The equipment size is smaller capacity than the design load.
Partial storage systems may be run as load-leveling or demand-limiting operations.
![Page 12: Pumped Hydro Storage-Pres](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061114/546064acb1af9f16598b5307/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PHS Plant Technologies
In a load-leveling system, equipment is sized to run at its full capacity for 24 hrs. A load-leveling approach minimizes the required equipment and storage capacities. This strategy is most effective where the peak load >> average load.When the load < equipment output, the surplus energy is stored. When the load > capacity, the additional requirement is discharged from storage.

PHS Power Plant Infrastructure
![Page 15: Pumped Hydro Storage-Pres](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061114/546064acb1af9f16598b5307/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PHS Power Plant Infrastructure
A dam is built on a large river that has a large drop in elevation (there are not many hydroelectric plants in Kansas or Florida!).
The dam stores lots of water behind it in the reservoir.
Near the bottom of the dam wall there is the water intake.
Gravity causes it to fall through the penstock inside the dam.
![Page 16: Pumped Hydro Storage-Pres](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061114/546064acb1af9f16598b5307/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PHS Power Plant Infrastructure
At the end of the penstock there is a turbine propeller, which is turned by the moving water.
The shaft from the turbine goes up into the generator, which produces the power.
Power lines are connected to the generator that carry electricity to your home and mine.

Disadvantages of PHS Plant
The construction of a PHS station typically takes many years, sometimes over a decade[5].
High upfront capital investment[5].
Salt water plants require special technologies to deal with the following barriers:
Leakage of salt water into the surrounding environment.
Corrosion of the equipment caused by salt water is also a concern.
![Page 21: Pumped Hydro Storage-Pres](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061114/546064acb1af9f16598b5307/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Environmental Impact of PHS
PlantDisruption of the aquatic ecosystem may destroy terrestrial wildlife habitats[5]
Severely alter the landscape[5]
Pumping may also increase the water temperature and stir up sediments at the bottom of the reservoirs and deteriorate water quality.
![Page 22: Pumped Hydro Storage-Pres](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061114/546064acb1af9f16598b5307/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Environmental Impact of PHS Plant
PHS operation may also trap and kill fish.
However, There are technologies to mitigate the ecological impacts.
A rubber lining is placed on upper reservoir, seawater detectors, pressure gauges used to detect salt leakage.
Fibreglass Reinforces Plastic (FRP) used for Penstock
Austenite Stainless Steel

Environmental Impact of PHS
PlantFish deterrent systems(breakwater of concrete blocks) minimize fish entrapment.
The water intake and outlet could be designed to minimize the turbulence.
An oxygen injection system can compensate for the potential oxygen loss due to warming of the water after pumping.
In some cases, the PHS system may serve to stabilize water level and maintain water quality[5].
