Pump Storage

PUMP STORAGE

Crystal Lagoons’ technology can also be used for maintaining excellent water quality in pump storage systems.

Pump storage systems store and generate energy by moving water between two water reservoirs located at different elevations. During times of low electricity demand, the water is pumped from a low level lagoon to an upper lagoon. During times of high electricity demand, the water flow is released, passing through hydroelectric turbines to generate electricity.
