Innovative operation of pumped hydropower storage

In this pilot project, the foundations of the wind turbines are used as upper reservoirs of a PHS facility. They are connected to a pumped-storage power station in the valley that can provide up to 16 MW in power. The electrical storage capacity of the power plant is designed for a total of 70 MWh (Max Bögl, 2018).

The traditional operation of PSHPs is mainly focused on satisfying the load by means of the so called hydro-thermal coordination. Thus, the water is pumped during off-peak hours when the demand is low, and it is released afterwards during peak-hours with an overall round-trip efficiency in the range of 70–80%.
