Title:
HYDROELECTRIC PUMPED-STORAGE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013164074
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To relate to hydroelectric pumped-storage using one or more aquifers corresponding to electrical demand that varies over time.
Hydroelectric pumped-storage includes a step of monitoring electrical demand on a system over time. If the monitored demand exceeds a predetermined first value, fluid is allowed to flow substantially under the influence of gravity from a first aquifer to a second aquifer. Kinetic energy from the flowing fluid is converted into electrical energy. If the monitored demand drops below a predetermined second value, fluid from the second aquifer is moved to the first aquifer.
