Abstract: |
High head hydropower plants can generate high electrical power at very short notice, or if equipped with pumps can also draw electricity from the distribution grid and store its energy very efficiently. In this way, hydropower plants can make an indispensable contribution to regulating the grid and the use of regenerative energy sources. Physically, this requires reservoirs at various altitudes connected through headraces. |
