Pumped Hydro Storage

The pumped hydro storage part, shown in Fig. 6.2, initiates when the demand falls short, and the part of the generated electricity is used to pump water from the lower reservoir back into the upper reservoir.Since this operation is allowed to take place for a time duration from six to eight hours (before the demand surges up again the next day), the power used up by the …
