The study, published today in Applied Energy, finds agricultural reservoirs, like those used for solar-power irrigation, could be connected to form micro-pumped hydro energy storage systems – household-size versions of the Snowy Hydro hydroelectric dam project.
Fig. 4. A–B) Total energy storage capacity as a function of individual system capacity, for dam-dam and dam-river sites, most capacity exists in intermediate capacities between 20 and 2000 kWh. C–D) Total energy storage capacity as a function of individual system slope, for dam-dam and dam-river sites capacity drops off as slope increases.

The average site could provide up to 2 kW of power and 30 kWh of usable energy – enough to back up a South Australian home for 40 hours. “We identified tens of thousands of these potential sites where micro-pumped hydro energy storage systems could be installed without undertaking costly reservoir construction,” Dr Gilmore says.
Batteries are the prevailing distributed energy storage solution, although costs often limit storage duration to a few hours. For longer-duration storage, pumped hydro is an emerging energy storage solution for solar-powered irrigation systems.
This study provides the first continental-scale assessment of micro-pumped hydro energy storage and proposes using agricultural reservoirs (farm dams) to significantly reduce construction costs. The continent of Australia is used as a representative case study for other arid and temperate regions internationally.
