Translation of "Pumpspeicherwerk" in English

The station produces traction current only and is an important peak load power station in the traction network for railways.

It was the world’s first pumped-storage facility to use seawater for storing energy.

In March 2000, a feasibility study report on a pumped-storage capability for the dam was approved.

An underground pumped storage power plant has not yet been realised in Germany.

RWE Power has operated the pumped storage plant at the Hengsteysee (Hengstey Lake) near Dortmund since 1930.

Voith originally equipped this pumped storage plant 50 years ago.

The pumped storage hydro plant Dlouhé Strán? is a much admired monumental ediface.

The fixed costs used for the pumped storage station (7,300 BF/kW and 823 BF/kW.year) include the transmission lines.

The Coo power plant, also of the under ground type, is under construction in the Ambleve valley and has the characteristic of possessing two genuine reservoirs, in the sense that the lower reservoir, instead of being, as in the majority of schemes, a simple dam over the river (which would have submerged the town of Coo), will be a distinct entity like the upper reservoir.

When the pump storage station is full, electric power can be generated by means of the water turbines via the generators.

Following the successful startup, the biggest variable speed pumped storage plant in Europe is considered the flagship project for further plants worldwide.

Answers question: "What is a pumped-storage plant?"

Beginning in 1968, the inhabitants of the constituent community of Obermittweida were moved to make room for a hydroelectric power station.

Twelve years later, the pumped storage plant "Bajina Bašta" was built, and in 1990 the hydroelectric power station "Pirot" was put into operation.

The artificially created lake pumping water power station Dlouhé strán? is actually a cut-off hilltop filled with water.

Dlouhé Strán? is a pumping power station, which produces energy by transferring water up to an upper reservoir then allowing it to run back down to a lower reservoir.

In the loftiest reaches of the Jeseníky Mountains, the hydroelectric power station at Dlouhé Strán? is like a secret bunker in a Bond movie.

The differences in the figures obtained for operating cost gains attributable to pumped storage between the complete calculation and the simplified calculation were so large (see Table I) that a more thorough analysis of their causes was thought necessary.

If the overall management of the various power units is simplified in this way, the problem is essentially to calculate what it would have cost, with the aid of the other peak­load stations, to produce the energy supplied by the storage scheme, and to subtract from this sum the cost of the energy required in order to raise water from the lower into the upper reservoir.

The real economic gains due to pumped storage thus appear much greater than those indicated by a simplified calculation.

A detailed examination of the different technical and economic parameters makes it quite clear that the pumped storage station is an intermediate utilisation unit and must play a part similar to that of units such as gas turbines.

Twelve years later, the pumped storage plant Bajina Bašta was built, and in 1990 the hydroelectric power station Pirot was put into operation.

A patent from 1995 states that such a pumped storage plant in the Hambach opencast mine can be realized and can provide a multiple of the pumped storage capacity currently available in Germany.

The Castaic Power Plant is located about 22 miles (35 km) from the northern Los Angeles city limits at the upper end of the West arm of Castaic Lake.
