Australian researchers have identified more than 600,000 sites suitable for closed-loop pumped-hydro energy storage projects across the globe. "Off-river" pumped-hydro is not only able to overcome the typical topographical issues of conventional pumped-hydro but is also cheaper.Scientists from the Australian National University (ANU) have identified 616,818 locations throughout the world that could be suitable sites for 23.1 million GWh of pumped-hydro storage capacity. The sites relate exclusively to closed-loop pumped-hydro energy storage projects with little environmental impact due to their ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
