Site Selection & Configuration for Pumped Storage Power

Pumped storage power plants (PSPPs) is one of such storage power plant that could be deployed in Sri Lanka. The country''s natural geography is suitable to facilitate nearly 5,000MW of PSPPs and some attractive sites have already been identified. Most importantly, some of them can be designed as the Pumped Storage Power Plant Complexes (PSPPC).
