Trends and challenges in the operation of pumped-storage hydropower plants …

The traditional operation of PSHPs is mainly focused on satisfying the load by means of the so called hydro-thermal coordination. Thus, the water is pumped during off-peak hours when the demand is low, and it is released afterwards during peak-hours with an overall round-trip efficiency in the range of 70–80%.
