| Description | A pumped-storage plant acts much the same way that a giant storage battery would—that is, energy generated by other sources within the system can be stored for later use during periods of high demand. The diagram (Figure 1) shows how stored water is returned through the turbines to generate power during peak-load periods, when it is most needed and has its greatest value. Pumped-storage installations offer many of the advantages of conventional hydroelectric plants including rapid start-up,... |
