Pumped Storage Hydropower Engineering : Planning, Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems
Overview
Pumped Storage Hydropower Engineering (Volume I: Planning, Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems)As clean energy transitions accelerate worldwide, Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) stands at the forefront of grid-scale energy storage. Serving as the primary long-duration balancing force for variable renewable sources like solar and wind, modern PSH systems require complex, multi-disciplinary engineering solutions.Pumped Storage Hydropower Engineering (Volume I) provides a comprehensive, practical, and highly technical guide to the early-stage planning, site selection, hydrological analysis, and hydraulic design of modern pumped storage facilities. Grounded in both theoretical fundamentals and real-world project execution, this volume serves as an indispensable reference for practicing engineers, energy consultants, power planners, and academic researchers.Key Topics Covered in Volume I: Energy Storage & Grid Integration: The role of PSH in frequency control, inertia provision, load shifting, and supporting high-penetration renewable power grids.Site Identification & Layout: GIS-based desktop screening, digital elevation modeling (DEM), geological mapping, and layout optimization for upper and lower reservoirs.Hydrology & Water Availability: Catchment runoff modeling, flood estimation, sediment management, water balance assessments, and climate resilience in headwater systems.Reservoir Engineering, Hydraulic & Water Conductor Systems
