Introduction
When power from the plant is needed, water flows from the upper reservoir through turbine (s) that rotate generator (s) to produce electricity. PSH facilities store and generate electricity by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. Water is pumped to a higher elevation during periods of low electricity demand, acting as potential energy storage, 2.

Pumped-Storage Hydroelectricity
6.15.3.1 Characteristics Pumped storage hydroelectricity works on a very simple principle. Two reservoirs at different altitudes are required. When the water is released from the upper reservoir, …
