The Shisanling Dam creates the power station''s lower reservoir and was an already existing dam. The earth-fill embankment dam is 29 metres (95 ft) high and 627 metres (2,057 ft) long. The dam creates a reservoir that can store 59,000,000 cubic metres (2.083565337 × 10 9 cu ft) of water and contains a controlled chute spillway .
How Pumped Storage Hydropower Works
Acquired by Drax Group in December 2018, the site is one of only four pumped storage hydro stations in the UK and has the capacity of 440 MW - enough to power more than 500,000 homes. Pumped storage hydro is the only tried and tested technology for delivering large-scale energy storage.
Lake Mutt in 2006. The highest reservoir in the complex is Lake Mutt (Muttsee), situated at 2,474 m (8,117 ft) above sea level had an original storage capacity of 9,000,000 m 3 (7,300 acre⋅ft), and was later expanded to 25,000,000 m 3 (20,000 acre⋅ft) during the Linthal 2015 expansion, to hold extra capacity for the new pumped-storage power station.

Pumped storage hydropower activity is increasing in the US, alongside demands for renewable energy. Engineering firm MWH Global has provided specialized expertise worldwide in this area for more than 50 years. Here are highlights of some of the largest and most recent project developments.
What makes the new Foyers Power Station special, is that it uses a technique called ''pumped storage''. It takes water held in Loch Mhor to drive two 150 megawatt reversible pump-turbines to generate electricity at times of high demand, and uses cheaper ''off peak'' electricity to pump water from Loch Ness back up to Loch Mhor ready to be reused when …
