Pumped Storage To Back Up Renewable Energy (View Original Story)
Source: Posted: 03-04-2008 at 03:01:07
| Scott, I was informed by the lead engineer for the NY Power Authority that our hydropower systems like Niagara Falls operate at efficiencies over 95%. If this is true, wouldn't it make sense to use wind powered electrical generation to pump water to elevated sources so the energy could be provided steadily from this source in times of low wind volume? -- Tim G., Buffalo, NY |
