Abstract: (99 Views) |
From the outset, aligning production with energy consumption has been a primary concern for operators of power generation and distribution networks. After World War II, as nuclear energy gradually became a reliable source of electricity generation in many European and North American countries, the development of pumped storage power plants was considered to convert nuclear baseload electricity into peak electricity through storage. In the 1990s, due to increasing environmental concerns and a decline in the development of nuclear power plants, there was a notable decrease in the development of new Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) plants. After the year 2000, with the growing importance of climate change and the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, the outlook changed significantly. A renewed interest in Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) emerged. This article provides an analysis of current and emerging trends, technical challenges, and environmental impacts related to pumped hydro storage (PHS) systems. It examines the critical role of PHS systems in integrating renewable energy sources, meeting peak demand, and enhancing grid stability. Additionally, the article identifies potential regions for future research and development efforts.
