Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants (PSHPs) are one of the most extended energy storage systems at worldwide level , with an installed power capacity of 153 GW . The goal of this type of storage system is basically increasing the amount of energy in the form of water reserve .
The pumped storage technology has an installed capacity close to half of the nuclear power capacity (975 MW and 1755 MW, respectively). The pumped storage system of Argentine Republic is composed by two PSHPs: Los Reyunos that has two reversible turbines with 225 MW of installed capacity and Rio Grande with four turbines and 750 MW of capacity.
Case study The proposed MILP model is applied to a real system that is the Pumped Storage System of Argentine Republic. The system is formed by two PSHPs. First one is Los Reyunos Plant, which is located in Mendoza province. It has two units with a total installed power capacity of 225 MW and its yearly generation is about 247 GWh.
