Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) is an essential renewable energy technology that balances electricity supply and demand within power grids. Although PSH projects involve high construction and operational costs, their long-term economic benefits are significant.
To sum up, the results suggest that the economic viability of the pumped storage schemes can be further improved when there is a need for higher energy storage capacity, more days of autonomy, when a low discount rate is applicable, and as PV panel prices decrease. 5. Conclusions and suggestions
Then, 36 MW pumped hydropower plant has been designed and its operational economic feasibility study has been also done. Simulation with MATLAB/Simulink has been carried out. The study results show that currently having the storage system will remove completely 27.6% of diesel power generation on Rwandan electric network.
A conventional battery storage solution would require high investment, a large storage room, and periodic replacement. Therefore, pumped hydro storage is proposed and the investigation of that solution is described in this study.
