Hydro-Pumped Storage Plants Market: Covid-19 Impact, Trends, Opportunities and Global Industry Analysis
Global Hydro-pumped Storage Plants
Market: Overview
The
ever-increasing global population and the limited availability of non-renewable
energy resources make it mandatory to conserve as much energy as possible and
use it efficiently. Hydro-pumped storage plants are used by the power industry
for the purposes of peak shaving and load balancing. These facilities store
energy in the form of water in an upper reservoir, pumped from another
reservoir at a lower elevation. This enables the generation of power as and
when required as well as conserve it during low demand intervals.
The
players in the market for hydro-pumped storage plants generate maximum revenue
from the sale of power during peak loads at a premium cost, thereby balancing
the load on conventional energy sources. The report observes that hydro-pumped
storage plants can be harnessed better when used alongside wind energy
turbines. These wind turbines pump water back into the reservoir during lean
demand, resulting in the better utilization of excess generation. According to
the report, the global market for hydro-pumped storage plants is to expand at a
healthy CAGR during the forecast period of 2014 to 2020.

Based on
technology, the global market for hydro-pumped storage can be segmented into
single reversible pump turbines and separate pump and turbine generators.
Recent developments in this sector are giving rise to a few new technologies
such as micro hydro-pumped storage plants, seawater hydro-pumped storage
plants, and underground hydro-pumped storage plants. By application, this
market can be segmented on the basis of the service they provide, such as
energy balancing, stability, storage capacity, and ancillary grid services.

Market: Trends and Opportunities
The report
finds that the increasing demand for energy storage systems and the emergence
of ancillary services are two of the primary factors that are driving the
global market for hydro-pumped storage plants. It has also been noted that
hydro-pumped storage is gaining traction because of the increased importance of
grid stability, along with the need for load balancing and energy storage.
Moreover, the requirement of alternative energy sources with black start
capability, reactive power generation, and an ability to operate as a spinning
reserve are other factors that augur well for the future of this market during
the forecast period.
Conversely,
the most prominent restraint on the hydro-pumped
storage plants market, according to the report, is the requirement of
large bodies of water wherever these plants are set up. Additionally, not all
locations are ideal for the height variation that is required between two
reservoirs for the proper functioning of hydro-pumped storage plants. However,
the report finds that the requirement of height variations can be easily overcome
via manmade alterations to the topography, which results in a desired size and
height measurement. As the pressure mounts on electrical grids globally to
cater to the ever-growing demand for energy, the demand for ancillary services
is increasing.

Global Hydro-pumped Storage Plants Market: Region-wise Outlook
The
earliest development of hydro-pumped storage plants occurred in the central
European region, especially in the U.K., Austria, Italy, and Switzerland. As a
result, Europe served as the most prominent market for these energy storage
plants in 2012, followed by Asia Pacific and North America. The report rates
Japan as a significant market for hydro-pumped storage in Asia Pacific region
while the U.S. accounted for over 95% of the installed pumped storage hydro
generating capacity in 2012, with Canada occupying the remaining. Africa is
rated as a relatively nascent market but a few countries in these regions are
showing promising potential for the future.
