Pumped Storage Hydro Model Evaluation Report Task 1: Tool Assessment

Abstract

To enhance the impact of the valuation approach and follow-on techno-economic studies, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will be developing a set of online tools that industry could adopt and use to advance PSH projects in the US. Part of this development process involves identifying the features of the tools that would offer the most significant impact to industry. The first task, therefore, in defining industry needs is to evaluate existing tool packages, including those created by DOE and those by industry groups, to both measure usage levels and define tool attributes that maximize industry impact. This report shows the results of the Task 1 tool evaluation.
