To support those challenges in Europe's energy system infrastructure, the European Union has put in place public funding mechanisms such as the Projects of Common Interests (PCI). The Kaunertal pumped hydro storage project will benefit from this mechanism.
The Centennial Pumped Hydro Energy Storage project proposed to perform a series of technical studies and trials for the potential deployment of a nominal 600 MW pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) system utilising the underground coal mining voids (Figure 1). If successful, it would represent a world first-of-kind demonstration at utility scale.
Since the pumped storage hydropower system comprises two different pipes (one for pumping water flow and the other one for water discharged flow), the scheduling model considers the possibility of simultaneously using both pumps and turbines.
