In a pumped-storage power plant, there are two water reservoirs with a significant difference in heights. During the hours of low power demand, the excess electricity from the grid is used to pump up water from the lower reservoir to the upper one, via an over-ground pipe or underground tunnel (called a penstock) using pumps, turbines
Underground pumped storage power stations (UPSPS) Offer stable geotechnical conditions and a permanent environment for long-term hydraulic infrastructure [21]. Underground spaces in coal mines can be used for water storage, energy storage and power generation and renewable energy development. In addition, the Chinese
The construction of pumped storage power stations using abandoned mines would not only overcome the site-selection limitations of conventional pumped storage power stations in terms of height difference, water source, environment, etc. [18,19], but would also have great significance for the smooth availability of green
