Get PriceUnderground power stations often form part of pumped storage hydroelectricity schemes, which use cheap or surplus off-peak power to pump water from a lower lake to an upper lake. This process is known as 'pumping mode'. In 'generating mode', the water is released back into the lower lake and the turbines generate electricity.
A power station can be built underground when the terrain or geology around it allows for it. One such condition is when a power station is to be constructed within bedrock, which may be less expensive than constructing a surface power station on loose soil. The passage also mentions gorges or steep valleys as examples of terrain that may not accommodate a surface power station.
But there are other ways of storing electricity that rely on potential energy. An example of potential energy is a freight train parked at the top of a mountain. If there are generators connected to its wheels, they can create electricity as the train rolls downhill.
For these different types of underground energy storage technologies there are several suitable geological reservoirs, namely: depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, porous aquifers, salt formations, engineered rock caverns in host rocks and abandoned mines.
The hydrological characteristics of host rocks, the ground water distribution and chemistry are important criteria to be taken into account when considering underground energy storage.
The world's largest underground power station, with an installed capacity of 5,616 MW, is located inside the Robert-Bourassa generating station in northern Quebec.
