Pumped storage hydropower, a late 19th century technology that was largely ignored by the markets for decades, is now emerging as pivotal to bringing balance and stability to Japan’s grid as the nation both reboots nuclear energy and moves to rely more on solar and wind generation.
With reactors now coming back online and variable renewable energy (VREs) expanding, the once predictable recharge timetables for pumped hydro are becoming chaotic. Japan NRG looks at how pumped hydro capacity, a relatively simple energy storage method, is being developed, deployed and traded in new ways to meet Japan’s 21st century energy needs.
Japan NRG looks at how pumped hydro capacity, a relatively simple energy storage method, is being developed, deployed and traded in new ways to meet Japan’s 21st century energy needs. The full deep-dive analysis texts are available in the Japan NRG Weekly report.
Japan currently has three major pumped hydro projects in various stages of completion, including one serving Tokyo that will have the world’s third-largest pumped-storage power capacity when fully online. Utilities are also making investments in existing plants so they are more responsive to contemporary energy needs.
Our photovoltaic systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
The new energy storage facilities each consist of lithium-ion batteries with a rated output of approximately 2 MW. The one in Ibaraki commenced operations on October 20, …
