A boost pumped hydro energy storage system
A boost pumped hydro energy storage system has boost pumps 26 located at a high water storage reservoir level 20, which take in water at the ambient reservoir pressure level and boost compress it to an increased pressure for injection into an existing conduit 27 at the water storage level, or inject it to the top of a vertically extended conduit 29. A buffer tank 24 and remote control station 25 may be installed at the top of the vertically extended conduit 29. The water pressure (head) for generation is therefore greater than is produced by the height difference alone between the upper reservoir 20 and the lower reservoir 14.
