Description Figure 15 illustrates graphically how the total annual cost of pumped-storage within the capacity cost range of $9.00 to $16.00 per kw-yr compares with the thermal alternatives. It can be seen that pumped-storage generation would be about one-half the cost of the thermal alternative at a 10 percent plant factor. In summary, Figure 16 illustrates three primary sources of peaking power and their annual project costs that are currently available to the Northwest. Conventional hydropower, by...
