Connecting Hydropower to the Electric Grid

Quantifying investments for plant upgrades and new pumped storage

BY LINDSEY ROGERS, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

In the early 1900s, hydro was the mainstay generation resource. Today, it has evolved to be a less prominent, but still highly valued, flexible form of renewable generation. As variable wind and solar power are utilized, hydro and grid flexibility, particularly pumped storage, are expected to play an important role. However, electric-system modeling and resource planning amid abundant...
