Pumped storage will be an essential component in the North American energy transition, helping to deliver a sustainable and reliable energy supply from renewable and intermittent forms of power generation. It is the most effective way of storing large amounts of energy and provides significant reliability benefits to the electric grid.
Don Erpenbeck, Chuck Kahler, Michael Manwaring, and Michael Morgenroth were featured in the International Journal on Hydropower & Dams to discuss pumped storage hydropower in North America. Their article focuses on existing pumped storage plants in the United States and Canada, and future planned developments in this field.
