Abstract:
A pumped storage hydropower apparatus includes a housing and at least one pump disposed within the housing. The at least one pump is configured to operate in a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation based on an operation condition including at least one of a time or a price of electrical power from a remote electrical power source. In the first mode of operation, the at least one pump receives a first flow of water from a first water storage unit, transports the first flow to a second water storage unit, and generates electrical power for transmission to the remote electrical power source. In the second mode of operation, the at least one pump receives a second flow of water from the second water storage unit, and transports the second flow to the first water storage unit using electrical power from the remote electrical power source.

Claim (Index 17):
A pumped storage hydropower system, comprising:\n a plurality of second water storage units storing corresponding second volumes of water at a plurality of second elevations less than a first elevation at which a first water storage unit stores a first volume of water; and a housing and at least one pump disposed within the housing, the at least one pump fluidly coupled to the first water storage unit and the plurality of second water storage unit to transport water between the first water storage unit and the plurality of second water storage unit, the at least one pump configured to operate in a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation based on an operation condition including at least one of a time or a price of electrical power received from a remote electrical power source, wherein in the first mode of operation, the at least one pump receives a first flow of the first volume of water from the first water storage unit, transports the first flow to at least one of the plurality of second water storage unit, and generates electrical power for transmission to the remote electrical power source using the first flow, and in the second mode of operation, the at least one pump receives a second flow of at least one of the second volumes of water from at least one of the plurality of second water storage unit, and transports the second flow to the first water storage unit using electrical power received from the remote electrical power source.
