5. Typical
Pumped
Storage
Plant
Arrangement
§ Pumped
storage
requires
two
reservoirs
in
close
proximity
of
each
other
§ During
peak
power
demand,
water
is
released
from
upper
reservoir
to
lower
reservoir
to
generate
electricity
§ During
off-‐peak
hours,
power
is
drawn
from
the
grid
to
pump
water
back
up
to
the
upper
reservoir
Pumped
Hydro
makes
a
return
by:
§ Selling
electricity
by
generaIng
during
high
priced
peak
periods
§ Buying
electricity
by
pumping
during
low
priced
off-‐peak
periods
