| Synopsis: |
Pumped storage has become increasingly important in the electricity supply industry in coping with sudden peak demands and stabilizing frequency. It has proven a particularly cost-effective way of providing electrical energy at very short notice. Moreover, the simple technology involved means that it can be used in Third World countries without high level technical support.With contributions from a variety of countries, this book provides an international analysis of the lastest developments in the field. |
