For the nearby reservation, see Bear Swamp. Bear Swamp Generating Station or Jack Cockwell Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectric underground power station that straddles the Deerfield River in Rowe and Florida, Massachusetts. The reservoir covers 88 acres (36 ha), storing about 1.7 billion gallons at an elevation of 1,600 feet (490 m) above ...
Installed capacity. 360 MW (480,000 hp) The Ffestiniog Power Station (Welsh pronunciation ⓘ) is a 360- megawatt (MW) pumped-storage hydroelectricity scheme near Ffestiniog, in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The power station at the lower reservoir has four water turbines, which can generate at full capacity within 60 seconds of the need arising.
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 PHS system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
The Cruachan Power Station (also known as the Cruachan Dam) is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, UK. The scheme can provide 440 MW of power and produced 705 GWh in 2009. The turbine hall is located inside Ben Cruachan, and the scheme moves water between Cruachan Reservoir and Loch Awe, a height ...

Lake Mutt in 2006. The highest reservoir in the complex is Lake Mutt (Muttsee), situated at 2,474 m (8,117 ft) above sea level.It had an original storage capacity of 9,000,000 m 3 (7,300 acre⋅ft), and was later expanded to 25,000,000 m 3 (20,000 acre⋅ft) during the Linthal 2015 expansion, to hold extra capacity for the new pumped-storage power station.
The pumped storage hydroelectricity power station consists of two circular concrete silos, each of about 32 metres (105 ft) internal diameter. [2] Each of the silos houses a 285 megawatts (382,000 hp) turbine generator spinning at 120 rpm and pump set, giving a total capacity of 570 megawatts (760,000 hp).
