Review On Pumped Storage Hydropower Plant for Energy Generation for Agricultural Use

Several advantages come with pumped hydropower plants for farms: reduced costs, environmental sustainability, grid independence, energy self-sufficiency, and possible revenue diversification. With their ability to produce their own electricity, farms can operate continuously and become less dependent on outside power sources. Farms may cut expenses, lessen their carbon impact, and preserve water supplies by utilizing renewable energy. The dependable energy source that pumped hydropower offers, especially in isolated locations with limited grid connectivity, increases agricultural resilience. Additional revenue potential arises from the option to sell excess power back to the grid. An affordable, ecologically beneficial, and sustainable energy option for farms is pumped hydropower. The paper examines the basic ideas, design factors, and several PHS system configurations, including open-loop, closed-loop, and hybrid designs. Reviewing PHS systems' critical role in integrating renewable energy sources, reducing peak load demands, and improving grid stability is another important point made. To find possible directions for further research and development, a thorough examination of the effects on the environment, present and developing trends, technological difficulties, and cost-effectiveness is also offered. The paper's conclusion highlights PHS systems' potential to greatly contribute to a sustainable and dependable energy future by providing a viewpoint on the possibilities and difficulties they bring.
