2. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../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. Low-cost surplus off ...

   The composite dam is 120 feet (37 m) tall and the gravity section features a spillway with two tainter gates. The other two embankment dams serve as auxiliary dams. The lower reservoir can store up to 18,800 acre-feet (23,200,000 m 3) of water and it covers an area of 600 acres (240 ha). Two other auxiliary reservoirs are located adjacent to ...

9. Castaic Power Plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaic_Power_Plant

   The pumping forebay, which is separated from the main reservoir by a dam located downstream from the Castaic Power Plant, functions in connection with the pumped storage operations of the plant. This assures the availability of at least 10,000 acre-feet (12,000,000 m 3 ) of water which can be pumped back to Pyramid Lake by the use of off peak ...
