Principle of the pumped storage power plant as an energy storage system. The first use of pumped storage was in 1907 in Switzerland, at the Engeweiher pumped storage facility near Schaffhausen, Switzerland. [48] [49] In the 1930s reversible hydroelectric turbines became available. This apparatus could operate both as turbine generators and in ...

The Blenheim–Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectricity plant in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. The plant is part of the New York Power Authority , and can generate over 1,100 megawatts (1,500,000 hp) of electricity.
The first four units of Darby began operations in 2001 with Units 5 and 6 beginning the following year at a cost of $55 million. [2] [3] The total cost of the project was estimated to be at $183 million. [4] The peaker plant is connected by a 345kV power line originating from the former J.M. Stuart Station located in Adams County, Ohio. [5]
This process was designed to level the load of nearby nuclear power plants on the grid. It also replaces the need to build natural gas peak power plants used only during high demand. The Ludington Pumped Storage plant is connected to six 345-kV Transmission lines, all owned and maintained by METC, a subsidiary of ITC Holdings.
