  • Modular Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (MPHES)
    Modular Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (MPHES): Relevance, concept design, economics and future prospect. By Dane Fernandez Masters of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Dissertation School of Engineering and Science, Murdoch University Supervisor: Dr Manickam Minakshi Sundaram May 2019 Declaration I declare that all work undertaken in this research topic, and presented in this dissertation is my own work, and that where data, research and conclusions from others have been used to support my findings, that these have been fairly referenced and acknowledged. Abstract This project gives an overview and literature review of Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) technology detailing the present context and future prospects with particular focus on Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM). Discussion that addresses present challenges and requirements to move forward with sustainable hydro power development electricity supply is explored. An overview of the fundamental system components and a technical design base for a Modular PHES (MPHES) is presented. A cost base is given for the MPHES and subsequently compared with other technologies. A concept design is proposed for a deployable, scalable MPHES system and is applied to two Case Studies. Discussion is given with respect to the relevance of such a scheme in Australia and the potential scalability and costs. The MPHES was found the be technically feasible and economically comparable to recent solar developments. Table of Contents Modular Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (MPHES): Relevance, concept

This report outlines how we are managing that water and steps we are taking to minimise the impact of our operations on the environment. Snowy Hydro has always operated under a strict Water Licence which governs how we can use the water that is collectively the property of the people of New South Wales and Victoria. There are also strong environmental safeguards that govern our operations and our presence in the Kosciuzko National Park. Snowy Hydro is an exemplary corporate citizen and we take our obligations to meet the conditions of our licences and any regulations applying to our business very seriously. We are privileged to operate in some of the most picturesque areas of the Snowy Mountains and we understand that locals and visitors alike are attracted to the area because of the beautiful dams and waterways. This report is an important channel to educate and inform our stakeholders about the water operations of the Snowy Scheme.

  • STORES Environmental and Water Consumption Impacts
    D4.4(i): (Output 4) An analysis of potential STORES environmental and water consumption impacts Anna Nadolny, Matt Stocks and Andrew Blakers Australian National University June 2018 Summary Our analysis of the water consumption for a renewable electricity system shows that the environmental impact of STORES is likely to be very small, both absolutely and relative to other parts of the electricity industry, and a transition would result in less water being consumed for the provision of electricity. STORES sites are not like conventional hydroelectricity, where entire river valleys are dammed in order to provide seasonal storage – short term storage can be achieved with comparatively small dams, and therefore very small water consumption. As our search for suitable sites excluded national parks and other protected lands, but still found 22,000 good sites, only the most suitable few dozen would be needed to support a 100% renewable electricity system [1]. WATER CONSUMPTION IN THE ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY Electricity generation in Australia is highly dependent upon water. This report will focus on the National Electricity Market (NEM) and will outline the multiple inputs for water for each form of generation, before demonstrating the positive change that could be unlocked by moving to clean, renewable power. A system built on wind and PV, supported by STORES, requires minimal water. Very few, relatively small reservoirs are needed, spread throughout the country. Many thousands of good off-river sites exist, so sites can be carefully selected to minimise problems with water (or environmental management) [1]. In determining the total volume of water “used” within the energy sector, the difference between consumption and withdrawal must be noted.
