VERBUND pumped storage power plant – The green battery
A pumped storage power plant uses the difference in height between a reservoir and the powerhouse with the turbines. The water is channelled into tunnels in which it "falls" down up to 500 meters. At the end of the tunnel the water hits the turbines, which it sets into motion. The turbines drive generators, and they in turn generate electricity.
