  1. What is Energy Recapture and How does it Work 11720085 LixinQuan

  2. What is Energy Recapture consumers of electricity active during the daytime inactive at night Quantity demanded Use Waste The power made in night Energy Recapture is systemthat allows energy to be stored when electricity is plentiful and released for generation in times of high grid demand. Pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant Compressed air energy storage

  3. How does Pumped Storage Work Pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant Low-cost off-peak (at night) electric power is used to run the pumps. During periods of high electrical demand, (at noon) the stored water is released through turbines to produce electric power. approximately 70% to 85% of the electrical energy used to pump the water into the elevated reservoir can be regained

  4. Advantages Worldwide use of pumped-storage hydroelectricity • No release of CO2 • No fossil fuels required
