WEBINAR

This webinar explored the design and performance of pumped storage hydropower.

Watch the full webinar below:

In collaboration with ESMAP, IHA brought together experts to discuss the role of pumped storage in modern power systems.

The session provided perspectives on how pumped storage contributes to system reliability and flexibility, the range of energy services it can provide, and why pumped storage is increasingly relevant for modern power system planning.

Participants gained insight into:

• How pumped storage plants are designed and operated to meet defined performance requirements
• The technical and operational choices that shape those outcomes  
• How plant capabilities are translated into balancing and other services in real-world operation

Speakers drew on practical project experience to examine how design and operational decisions translate into power system flexibility and value.
