6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Brazzaville Pumped Hydropower Storage Project”

How much will hydropower storage capacity increase by 2030?

With more than 100 projects currently in the pipeline, existing pumped hydropower storage capacity is expected to increase by almost 50 per cent by 2030 – from 161,000 MW today to 239,000 MW – according to the working paper which draws on data from IHA's Hydropower Pumped Storage Tracking Tool.

What is pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH)?

A diagram of the TVA pumped storage facility at Raccoon Mountain Pumped-Storage Plant in Tennessee, United States Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing.

What is pumped-storage hydroelectricity?

Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.

Why does Brazzaville have a water intake?

The water intake is built inside a gravity dam to retain water for Brazzaville's electricity demand. Since its construction in the 1950's, there have been many incidents. The most important one occurred in April 2007, when the power plant was flooded up to the control room.

How many GWh does a pumped hydropower storage project store?

In a working paper published today, The World's Water Battery: Pumped Hydropower Storage and the Clean Energy Transition, IHA also estimates that pumped hydropower storage projects globally now store up to 9,000 gigawatt hours (GWh).

How many megawatts will a hydropower reservoir have by 2030?

An additional 78,000 megawatts (MW) in clean energy storage capacity is expected to come online by 2030 from hydropower reservoirs fitted with pumped storage technology, according to the International Hydropower Association (IHA).
