Pumped Storage Hydropower: Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantages of PSH are: Grid Buffering: Pumped storage hydropower excels in energy storage, acting as a crucial buffer for the grid. It adeptly manages the variability of other renewable sources like solar and wind power, storing excess energy when demand is low and releasing it during peak times.
Storage Hydropower
An important application of hydropower storage plants is to balance seasonal differences in electricity demand. The reservoir stores excess water from water-rich, lower demand …
