PSH Tools Hub
Modeling tools for the analysis of pumped storage hydropower projects.
The Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) Commercialization Tools Hub provides access to software tools and information that can be used to analyze the value of PSH projects and their services, benefits to power grids in vertically integrated and wholesale electricity markets, estimate the economic and financial feasibility of proposed new PSH projects, and other relevant analyses that may help PSH developers build a sound business case for their project.
