Abstract. This study explores the role of storage systems in reducing the variability of renewable power, focusing on pumped hydropower storage (PHS) systems. We regress the hourly storage by PHS on the hourly solar power generation to estimate …
A pumped storage power station (PSPS) is a specific form of hydroelectric power station with power generation and energy storage functions. The PSPS has two upper and lower reservoirs [8] . When water from the upper reservoir flows to the lower reservoir, it is similar to a conventional hydroelectric power station, and the …
