During peak demand periods the flow is reversed and electric power is generated by flowing the water through a hydraulic turbine. The storage reservoir is 100 m above the hydro turbine/pump units and the hydraulic turbine can accommodate up to 650 l/s (liters per second) of flow.a.How much area would the pumped storage reservoir need to be to store 1000 MWh of hydro energy if its average depth were 10m? Express your answer in acres. Is this reasonable?(91.06 acres)Thepotential energy of water in the reservoir can be calculated as gH, where is the density of water, gis gravitational acceleration, and His the effective head of the system.First calculate the total volume of water required in meters, then the surface area of the reservoir if it is 10m deep on average.
