    GLOBAL PUMPED HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY STORAGE MARKET

     

    INTRODUCTION

     

     A type of hydroelectric energy storage utilised by electric power networks for load balancing is pumped-storage hydroelectricity, often known as pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES) or PSH.

     

    The process stores energy in the form of water’s gravitational potential energy, which is pumped from a reservoir at a lower height to one at a higher elevation. 

     

    The pumps are often run on cheap surplus off-peak electric power. The stored water is released through turbines during times of high electrical demand to generate electricity.

     

    The method boosts revenue by selling more electricity during periods of peak demand, when electricity prices are highest, even if the pumping process’ losses make the plant a net energy consumer overall.

    RECENT DEVELOPMENT

     

    A new pumped hydro storage technology that is more widely deployable and less expensive than conventional pumped hydro solutions has been developed by Quidnet Energy.  Long considered a feasible solution for long-term energy storage, pumped hydro has only just begun to see widespread use due to prices and a requirement for access to elevated terrain.

     

    These restrictions are addressed by the company’s innovative geomechanical pumped storage. The idea behind the Quidnet method is to utilise electrical power during times of high supply to pump water downward (as opposed to upward as in conventional systems) into the earth for pressurised storage in spaces between rock layers.

     

    This pool of pressurised water can then be utilised to power electricity-generating turbines during times when there is a shortage of power.  A closed-loop water system is used to repeat the procedure as required. The straightforward concept is to store energy by using ground pressure rather than gravity.  The Quidnet method employs standard drilling techniques and off-the-shelf hydroelectric machinery to help keep expenses under control. 

     

    With the support of the ARPA-E grant, Quidnet will be able to complete its project with CPS Energy in San Antonio, Texas, to grow its GPS installation to a 1 MW/10 MWh commercial system that will be able to give CPS Energy long-duration energy storage for up to 10 hours.  Quidnet Energy creates technologies and products to aid in the switch to low-carbon energy around the world. 

     

    EnBW, a German utility, has announced intentions to construct a pumped hydro storage facility near Forbach, Baden-Württemberg. The location will be utilised for the new Forbach Pumped Storage Power Plant/New Lower Reservoir project, which will be built on the same land where EnBW currently runs the Rudolf Fettweis hydroelectric plant with a 71 MW capacity.

     

    The pumped hydro station will have a pump turbine that can produce 57 MW in pump mode and 54 MW in turbine mode. In addition, EnBW will set up three more Francis turbines, totaling about 23 MW in output.

     

     The existing Forbach equalisation basin will be enlarged as part of the project to contain a cavern water reservoir in the nearby hillside, increasing its capacity throughout the development of the new pumped storage power scheme

     

    .The Karlsruhe regional government released the plan clearance notice following more than five years of diligent work by several experts and sectoral authorities. A pump turbine with a capacity of 57 MW in pump mode and 54 MW in turbine mode will be the main component of the pumped hydro station.  Additionally, three new Francis turbines with a combined output of roughly 23 MW will be installed by EnBW.

     

    The current Forbach equalisation basin will be expanded along with the installation of a subterranean water reservoir in the next hillside during the building of the new pumped storage power station. Australia’s pumped hydro storage map was just released by RenewEconomy.

     

    The announcement of a new funding plan by the NSW government and a feasibility study for a sizable new pumped hydro project at Borumba Dam in Queensland make the map timely given the heightened focus on long-term storage needs.  More than 20 different projects are included on the Australia Pumped Hydro Storage Map.

     

    Only three of them—Tumut, Wivenhoe, and Shoalhaven—are currently operational, and two more are under development, including the enormous and contentious Snowy 2.0 project and the Kidston project in north Queensland.

     

     Another 15 or so are in various phases of preparation, some of which are awaiting potential funding efforts from ARENA or the federal government’s UNGI plan, both of which have been delayed.

     

    In contrast to the ANU’s map, which includes potential locations for pumped hydro, this one concentrates on projects and ideas that have already been completed and disclosed. A plan for a compressed air energy storage project for Broken Hill is also included. This project is similar to pumped hydro except that compressed air would be used in place of water

     

    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATIONS

     

    A pumped hydroelectric storage turbine system called Hydromatrix was created by GE Hydro, a part of General Electric. It is a cutting-edge system made to use the potential energy of water to store and produce power. Hydromatrix is a compact, modular device that combines the capabilities of a pump and a turbine at its core.

     

    It makes it possible for pumped hydroelectric storage facilities to run effectively and flexibly, which is essential for the grid’s stability and the incorporation of renewable energy sources. The Hydromatrix system is made up of a number of reversible pump turbines organized in a matrix design inside of a chamber filled with water.

     

    Depending on the system’s energy requirements, each pump turbine can act as both a pump and a turbine because it is connected to a generator. Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir when there is a surplus of renewable energy generated or when there is low demand for electricity.  Potential energy is how the energy is stored in this process. Until it is required to generate energy, the water is stored.

     

    The stored water is released from the top reservoir to the lower reservoir when there is a decrease in renewable energy generation or an increase in electricity consumption.

     

    The pump turbines act as turbines as the water flows downward, transforming the potential energy of the falling water into mechanical energy. The associated generators subsequently transform this mechanical energy into electricity.

     

    The modular nature of the Hydromatrix technology is its main benefit. The small, standardized modules make it simpler to install and integrate them into both new and old power plants.

     

    To accommodate various site circumstances and available space, the modules can be stacked either vertically or horizontally. The Hydromatrix system is appropriate for a variety of applications, including both large-scale and small-scale projects, thanks to its flexibility.

     

    Additionally, the system provides greater operational flexibility and efficiency. Hydromatrix’s reversible pump turbines are built to function in a variety of flow rates and head situations.

     

    The capacity to adapt fast to variations in electricity demand is made possible by this flexibility, which also enables maximum power production. In order to ensure dependable and effective operation, the system may quickly convert between pumping and generating modes.

     

    The sophisticated control and automation system of Hydromatrix is another noteworthy aspect. To enhance the efficiency of the entire plant and optimize the operation of the pump turbines, the system uses advanced algorithms and control systems.

     

    To maintain optimal performance under various operating situations, the control system continuously monitors and modifies numerous parameters, such as water flow, pressure, and power output.

     

    In addition to its capacity for energy storage, Hydromatrix assists the electrical system in other ways. It offers grid stability and aids in minimizing variations in the supply and demand for electricity.

     

    It helps to reduce the erratic nature of renewable energy sources and enables the grid integration of additional renewable energy by storing excess energy during times of low demand.

     

    Additionally, pumped hydroelectric storage systems like Hydromatrix can offer the grid beneficial ancillary services like voltage management and frequency regulation. The stability and dependability of the electrical system depend on these services. A state-of-the-art pumped hydroelectric storage turbine system, called Hydromatrix, was created by GE Hydro. 

     

     

    RECENT DEVELOPMENT

     

    One of numerous renewable energy deployments being sited in Wyoming in an effort to diversify that state’s energy and power portfolio is the development of a pumped hydro energy storage facility in the middle of coal country by a Utah-based corporation.

     

    Black Canyon Hydro, a subsidiary of rPlus Hydro, has submitted a final licence application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the 900 MW Seminoe Pumped Storage Project, which is being developed by rPlus Hydro, a division of rPlus Energies.

     

    The project is located in Carbon County, which used to rank among the top counties in terms of coal production in the country’s top coal-producing state and is now the location of some of the country’s newest wind farms.

     

    No matter how someone feels about fossil fuels, renewable energy, electric vehicles, etc., everyone wants dependable power. For a very long time, pumped storage has served as a global powerhouse for consistent energy. Wyoming has excellent wind energy resources, which is similar to how great its coal resources are.

     

    Having a project like this for energy storage in a location where it can contribute to the most efficient use of that natural resource is just common sense. A final licence application for rPlus’ 1,000 MW White Pine Pumped Storage project is expected to be submitted to FERC soon, the business added.

     

    According to rPlus, a business established as a division of Salt Lake City-based Gardner Group, the Seminoe facility would have the ability to store energy for 10 hours at full output. An upper reservoir and a lower reservoir would be connected by a pumped hydro system at the location, which would flow water to store energy and provide power as necessary. The already-existing Seminoe Reservoir will be the project’s lower reservoir.

     

    The construction will include a brand-new upper reservoir. The new reservoir will be located about two miles to the east of the Seminoe Dam, at a height of around 10,000 feet, or roughly 1,000 feet above the existing reservoir. A new 30-mile line linking the facility will be used to carry energy for the pumping system and the power produced by the project.

     

    Energy storage will be essential for the stability of our infrastructure system as renewable resource development in the American West continues and regional balancing authorities are consolidated. We are excited to make sure this facility plays an important part in the Mountain West’s transition to clean energy.

     

    It is incredibly rewarding and satisfying to see Seminoe as one of the few pumped storage projects in the United States to have accomplished this significant milestone over the past 20 years. By enabling both wind and solar resources to be considered as baseload dispatchable resources rather than intermittent resources, this project is a very beneficial clean energy investment for Wyoming. It will assist to unlock the wind resources in this region of the state.

     

    In addition to bolstering Wyoming’s position as an energy leader, Seminoe Pumped Storage will be the perfect complement to the state’s great wind energy resource.

     

    The Gateway lines and TransWest Express are two examples of new transmission lines that are currently being built or will do so shortly. In addition to building a new reservoir, officials have stated that the project will also involve building an underground powerhouse and tunnels.

     

    The Seminoe Reservoir will have an additional intake-outlet building. Environmental assessments, agency meetings, and community gatherings have all been held as the Wyoming pumped hydro storage project has been in the works. While it is in the permitting stage, the project is still being engineered and designed.
