Why in the News?<\/h2>\n

The Ministry of Coal is working on a plan to develop Pump Storage Projects(PSP) in de-coaled coal mines.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Pumped storage is a type of hydropower energy storage system used for grid energy storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. It is a <\/span>form of clean energy storage that is ideal for electricity grids reliant on solar and wind power.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. This technology absorbs surplus energy at times of low demand and releases it when demand is high.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do Pumped storage power plants work?<\/h2>\n

1. Pumped hydropower storage uses the force of gravity to generate electricity using water that has been previously pumped from a lower source to an upper reservoir.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The water is pumped to the higher reservoir at times of low demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. At times of high demand, the water is then released to drive a turbine in a powerhouse and supply electricity to the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is government planning to develop Pump Storage Projects(PSP) on de-coaled mines?<\/h2>\n

There are over 200 de-coaled mines with huge land area. Many of these mines are feasible for pumped storage power plants as lower reservoirs, head of water and land are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifications<\/b><\/td>\nDetails<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Grid Stability and Reliability<\/b><\/td>\nProvides a reliable and rapid response to changes in electricity demand. It can quickly generate electricity during peak demand periods, helping to stabilize the grid.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Long Lifespan and Durability<\/b><\/td>\nPumped storage facilities typically have long lifespans and are built to withstand frequent cycling between pumping and generating modes. This makes them durable and reliable assets for energy infrastructure.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Water Management<\/b><\/td>\nThese power plants can be designed to manage water resources effectively, ensuring responsible use and minimizing environmental impact.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Integration of Renewable Energy<\/b><\/td>\nPumped storage helps integrate renewable energy sources into the grid by compensating for their intermittency. It provides a way to store excess energy when renewable sources are abundant and release it when they are not producing electricity.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions<\/b><\/td>\nBy facilitating the efficient use of renewable energy and reducing the need for fossil fuel-based peaking power plants, pumped storage can contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
