The round trip efficiency is analyzed in underground pumped storage hydropower plants. The energy efficiency depends on the operation pressure in the underground reservoir. Analytical and numerical models have been developed to study the operation pressure. The efficiency decreases from 77.3% to 73.8% when the pressure
A pumped storage power plant uses the difference in height between a reservoir and the powerhouse with the turbines. The water is channelled into tunnels in which it "falls" down up to 500 meters. At the end of the tunnel the water hits the turbines, which it sets into motion. The turbines drive generators, and they in turn generate electricity.
Pumped storage power plants (PSPP), as an important clean energy technology, have great potential for energy storage and conditioning. However, site selection is the primary issue in PSPP construction, which directly affects its economics, environmental impact and social acceptability.

This paper refers to the Report of the Expert Team appointed by the Prime Minister (Ordinance of the Prime Minister No. 351/2021) published in December 2022, entitled: The Role of Pumped-Storage Power Plants
In a conventional hydropower plant, the water from the reservoir flows through the plant, exits and is carried down stream. A pumped-storage plant has two reservoirs: Upper reservoir - Like a conventional hydropower plant, a dam creates a reservoir. The water in this reservoir flows through the hydropower plant to create electricity.
Traditionally, pumped hydro storage (PHS) facility pumps water uphill into. reservoir, consuming electricity when demand and electricity prices are low, and then allows water to flow downhill through turbines, generating electricity when demand increases and
As a consequence, pumped-storage hydropower plants (PSHPs) have been widely installed and operated since the 1890s, reaching an approximate worldwide installed capacity of 130 GW [1]. The traditional operation of PSHPs is mainly focused on satisfying the load by means of the so called hydro-thermal coordination.
Pumped storage hydropower projects are a natural fit in an energy market with high penetration of renewable energy as they help to maximise the use of weather-dependent,

At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the upper reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, generating electricity. Reversible turbine/generator assemblies act as combined pump and turbine generator units (usually Francis turbine designs). Variable speed operation further optimizes th
