HYDRO_STORAGE¤

Introduction¤

Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is a technology for storing energy in the form of potential energy of water (gravitational). Water is pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation (storage/charge mode) when there is low-cost and off-peak electric power. It is then released to the lower elevation reservoir (discharge mode) during periods of high electric demand to produce electric power through turbines.

ES Model Parameters¤

All the parameters concerning the Hydro Storage are listed in the table below.
