Innovative operation of pumped hydropower storage

Traditionally, a pumped hydro storage (PHS) facility pumps water uphill into a reservoir, consuming electricity when demand and electricity prices are low, and then allows water to flow downhill through turbines, generating electricity when demand increases and electricity prices are higher (GE Power, 2017). Currently, PHS systems are the primary technology used to provide …
