Unlocking the potential of hydraulic short circuit
The presentation highlights the significance of the Grand’Maison pumped storage plant as one of the world's major energy batteries. It plays a crucial role in stabilising the European power system. Through the implementation of hydraulic short circuit operation, the power plant has significantly enhanced its capacity to offer grid services and power flexibility while in pumping mode. This transformation has tangible business implications, making a substantial impact on the overall energy landscape.
