Given the critical role pumped hydro storage plays in being a clean, low-cost and renewable energy storage system, is simply maintaining key hydropower equipment enough?
Or, should a more rigorous approach be undertaken to intrinsically ‘improve’ the efficiency at pumped storage hydropower plants for the long term?
Taking references from publications such as the 2021 US Hydropower Market Report, the 2020 International Energy Agency Renewables Report and the 2020 UK Energy White Paper, the recent blog post from Belzona Polymerics explores the growing demand, globally, for pumped hydro storage as a renewable energy storage system, and the benefits of this type of energy storage.
It examines how, as there is such a high dependency on this type of storage technology, asset owners should deploy appropriate repair solutions to ensure that hydropower plant integrity isn’t simply ‘maintained’, but also significantly ‘improved’ for the long term.
