ROLL OF PUMP STORAGE IN ENERGY TRANSMISSION

Abstract

With parallel to industrial developments, for sustainability of modern life and duration of manufacturing activities, constancy of reliable energy is very important. This means, supplying of energy at required amount on demand. Thermal power plants and renewable energy sources, cannot respond fast and reliable to the fluctuating demand during the day. Because of this energy storage, is a necessary subject to focus on for countries.

Pumped storage systems, which are the hydroelectric system that stores high amount of energy, are an important part of the reliable energy supply.

This presantation aims to introduce Pump Storage Systems and determine the need to pump storage systems. Additionally, advantages of pump storage systems, the situation of pump storage systems in the world and in Turkey are given. Finally, for construction of pump storage systems in Turkey, the importance of incentives and legislations are discussed.
