Hydroelectricity relies on gravity to propel water through power-generating turbines. The difference in height between the turbine and the water source is known as the "head". Scotland
Spain currently has 18 pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants with an installed capacity of 6 GW. What is a pumping station? Pumped-storage power plants have two water reservoirs at different heights. During off-peak hours, water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir.
La Muela, with an installed capacity of 635-MW, is the largest pumped storage plant in operation in Spain. It has been in operation since 1989. This project, located near Valencia in southeastern Spain, utilizes the Jucar River as the lower reservoir and an artificial upper reservoir as shown in the picture at right.
La Muela, in the Cortes de Pallás reservoir, on the right bank of the Júcar river, is considered the largest pumped hydroelectric plant in Europe. It has an installed capacity of 1,482 MW, which supplies around 400,000 homes. Located in a cavern, the installation has seven groups of reversible turbines.
Pumped-storage power plants have two water reservoirs at different heights. During off-peak hours, water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir. Once there, this water is used to generate electricity at times of peak electricity consumption.
Its storage capacity enables the continuous supply of electricity to the metropolitan area of Oporto for 24 hours. The Santiago-Sil-Xares pumping station is located in the municipality of Vilamartín de Valdeorras (Ourense, Galicia), within the Sil river basin.
Therefore, the incorporation of efficient storage systems is essential. In this respect, pumped hydro power plants emerge as the most efficient and cost-effective renewable option for large-scale storage.
