As power systems include more intermittent renewable energy sources, energy storage solutions are needed to support them. Pumped hydro is a reliable alternative for long-term energy storage. A solution for bringing more pumped hydro into the power system is to upgrade existing hydropower plants into pumped hydro. To investigate this possibility, a case study with a complex tunnel system and multiple surge tanks along both the headrace and the tailrace tunnels is selected. A hydraulic scale model and validation methods were developed. The challenges in developing and validating complex models involving multiple surge tanks, throttles, head loss, and limited prototype information are detailed.
