A new partnership will investigate the viability of colocating a closed-loop pumped hydro energy storage facility with solar PV at the site of a former gold mine in Moose River in the Canadian ...

Hydropower’s reputation as a reliable source of energy and storage may ironically be one of the reasons people often assume it is “tapped out” of investment opportunities. But hydropower, including ...

NEGAUNEE, MI – Michigan’s Upper Peninsula may be primed for a major hydroelectric future because of its underground mining past. Scientists at Michigan Technological University in Houghton believe it ...

One of the most efficient ways to store energy is to pump water from one reservoir to another higher reservoir. The energy used in the pumping can then be recovered at a later time by releasing the ...

A pumped storage project in Kentucky is being touted as a model example of how land that once was the site of a coal mine can be repurposed for a renewable energy installation. The Lewis Ridge Pumped ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations recently announced an award under its Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land. This award of more than ...

The proposed Lewis Ridge Project would build a closed-loop pumped storage hydropower facility on the site of a former coal mine in Bell County, Ky. At the site of a former coal mine in Appalachian ...

The CU Hydropower Team is competing in the DOE Hydropower Collegiate Competition to design a closed-loop pumped storage hydropower facility. The team is performing engineering for site development, ...

Scientists have simulated the addition of floating solar panels to Switzerland’s Etzelwerk, an open-loop pumped-storage hydropower plant. Using 10% of the upper reservoir for the solar panels, the ...

In late November, in a quiet corner of Devon, England, workers began adding a secret, light brown powder to water as they mixed up a special fluid that can store energy. They blended it with the ...
