A review of pumped hydro energy storage development in significant international electricity markets (2016, background): “Steffen (2012) [54] described how the prospects of PHES in Germany had improved in 2011 with the announcement of two extensions and 10 new build proposals.”
Cyclic and Fatigue Behaviour of Rock Materials: Review, Interpretation and Research Perspectives (2018, background): “The use of old mines as lower reservoirs for pumped storage hydroelectricity also generates cyclic * B. Cerfontaine b.cerfontaine@ulg.ac.be F. Collin F.collin@ulg.ac.be 1 Allee de la Decouverte, 9, 4000 Liège, Belgium 1 3 loading/unloading of the environment (Steffen 2012; Pujades et al.”
Residual load, renewable surplus generation and storage requirements in Germany (2014, background): “8 In a survey article, Steffen (2012) reviews the current developments and medium-term prospects of pumped hydro storage in Germany and finds that there is now a surge of new projects after around three decades without major developments.”
Putting an energy system transformation into practice: The case of the German Energiewende (2016, background): “7 GW is under planning and could be realized in the coming years, even though profitability remains a major challenge [91].”
Maximising the value of electricity storage (2016, background): “Some storage schemes, such as pumped hydro with very large reservoirs, may be capable of arbitrage over longer timescales, perhaps taking advantage of weekly spreads which are driven by lower demand over weekends, rather than renewable penetration [6].”
An international review of the implications of regulatory and electricity market structures on the emergence of grid scale electricity storage (2014, unknown): “For example, the spread was reduced in the German electricity market between 2010 and 2011 when the contribution of energy to the grid from PV was high; this led to lower midday peak energy prices, which reduced the PHS margin in 2010 [93].”
